Chances are that you’ve heard about the Law of Attraction. You may even have watched the movie “The Secret”. But, if you’re like most people who’ve tried following that film, you’ve probably had less success than you were initially led to believe. Which in turn leads you to ask yourself “is the law of attraction true”?

The simple answer to this question is “yes”. But most people look at me as though I’m secretly crazy if I just say that one word. So let’s go for a slightly more complicated answer:

It’s called the Law of Attraction because it is just that – a law. Much like gravity and a few other universal laws that apply to absolutely everything they encounter.

And in the same way that we can’t over-rule other laws, we also can’t over-rule the one that governs attraction.

By this stage, most people are looking around and thinking that they didn’t attract the lack of income and other good things that they’re experiencing.

Unfortunately – and most people initially don’t really like to hear this – you have attracted precisely what you are currently experiencing. Whether it’s lack of money, bad relationships, lack of promotion at work or a myriad of other things that you’re not exactly best pleased about but which are staring you in the face.

You really have attracted everything you are currently experiencing into your life. Whether you’ve consciously used the law of attraction or not.

The universe picks up on our thoughts. Positive ones (the ones that The Secret goes on about) as well as negative ones (the ones you’re likely experiencing right now).

Which means we need to change our entire package of thoughts around.

Trouble is, that’s not as easy as it sounds…

Chances are, there’s a “yeah but” thought that sneaks its way in soon after you consciously think a positive thought. Or it may even bully the positive thought right out of the way, mid thought. You’ve probably experienced that more than once.

Implementing the law of attraction in your life needs a plan of action. Napoleon Hill famously said that whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve. Conceiving thoughts is usually pretty easy. It’s believing them that people usually struggle with.

So you need to turn your positive thoughts into really strong thoughts and ideas. Ones that can’t be crushed by all those little niggles and interruptions we all experience day by day, hour by hour. Only then can you prove to yourself that the law of attraction really is true.
