I wanted to create this post because, IMO, the law of attraction DOES indeed work and I wanted to give you some positive energy about that. It is working in my life right now and giving me things and creating coincidences that are just unbelievable sometimes.

However, it was not always this way. I have been trying techniques I've read about for many years and could not see results. If you aren't seeing the results and you're trying to get it to work for you, let me tell you what I think about why it may not be working for you.

I think, that the one thing you need to create positive things in your life is belief. You need to believe, beyond any shadow of a doubt, the thing you want to create is already here and it's on it's way. If you believe, you will think, talk and act differently all the time, every hour, every day, every week, every month.

I know you've probably heard this before, but most people, myself included, THINK they believe, when in reality, they don't.

You'll know if you believe something by what you say and what you do. You can SAY something positive, but if the thing you say has any doubt mixed in, the feeling of doubt will come through and it will not happen.

For instance, if you try to get every last bit of mayonnaise out of the jar with your knife, because mayonnaise is expensive and you want to use every last bit, you're thinking lack instead of abundance.

If you spend 1/2 hour looking for free parking on the street of a big city, instead of paying $5.00 in the parking garage, you're living in lack, not abundance.

For instance, I used to meditate on some mantras such as, "I am successful" "I have freedom" "I have a lot of money coming to me" etc. etc. in the hopes that repeating these phrases would get my subconscious to believe them. I thought that repeating them would work. It didn't. I know now that I never got to the point of believing.

If you're doubting if the law of attraction works, it won't work. Of course, when you don't see results, you doubt. And doubt will keep it from you. So, it's a vicious cycle that needs to be broken. How?

This is the question that I don't know for your situation. I think it's different for everyone.

For me, the breakthrough came when I inherited some money recently. Now, I want to say that it was not a lot of money at all, not enough to quit my job, live a luxury life, nothing like that. But it did make me believe that I had money and could create more. Right then, my entire attitude, believe and thought process began to change and so too did my life. The way I lived my life changed completely.

Now, I don't pass the garage to look for free parking. I don't even think "should I look for free parking first, and if I can't find it, I'll go in the garage?" No, I just pull into the garage. It's only $5.00 and I can afford that. You see? I could have afforded $5.00 before, but my thinking was telling me to look for free parking first to save money.

I know to some of you, saving that $5.00 is important. But it is holding you back. That is the truth of it, IMO.

IMO, the law of attraction is easy to understand, but difficult to master. If it was easy, everyone in the world would have what they wanted, right?

So, if you're into getting this right, I'd recommend the following books you may not have heard of: (Just Google them or look on Amazon)

"Money and The Law Of Attraction" by Abraham Hicks (the book that preceded The Secret - this book was my law of attraction bible)

"The Science Of Getting Rich" by Wallace Wattles (I think) This book is in the public domain. You can download a free pdf. It's old, but the concepts hold true today.
