Why People Don't Believe in the Law of Attraction

1 - It's too "New Age".

Some people don't want to sound "New Age." I don't know what that means, nor do I care. I'd much rather attract what I desire by choosing my thoughts and feelings.

2 - The "R" Word

Accepting the fact that you create your life means taking full responsibility for your thoughts, feeling and every result.

This is a tough pill too swallow. It's a sobering experience to think that whatever that you are the root cause of all failure, suffering and heartache. This does NOT mean you consciously chose these circumstances. You didn't seek out sickness, bankruptcy, etc. You did cause them on a subconscious level. Tough, I know. Until I accepted responsibility for my thoughts, feelings and results I was bound by whatever circumstances I blamed.

3 - LOA people sound like nut jobs.

I thought the same thing for quite a while. Then I realized that whatever you resist is telling you something. There's some shred of truth within the concept which is begging you to learn more about it.

Most are skeptical about the LOA because it's a science of the invisible. It can't be proven. Truth be told, it can't be proven. Even though quantum physics has made amazing strides nobody can prove the law of attraction. I've studied people who believed in the LOA. Most were happy, healthy and wealthy. The skeptics were generally unhappy people. That's because they spend a great deal of time fighting against something. Happy people are for things they support, unhappy people fight things which they're against.

4 - It's too simple; it makes the LOA seem like a lazy person's excuse for not moving into action.

The Secret gets so much flack for this. Maybe I was watching a different movie but I remember the speakers mentioning phrases like "inspired action", "prosperous ideas", etc.

I hate to break it to you but it does become that easy when you learn to do things like meditate, affirm your life's goals and visualize on a daily basis. You attract things with less physical effort.

Everything is a form of energy. When one energy is in alignment with another form of energy, they meet. People usually have to move into action to receive what they want but make no mistake about it, you are attracting that thing. It comes to you. You might attract inspirational ideas, people, etc but EVERYTHING comes to you. You are a thing magnet.

So yes, action is required but most people make the mistake of spending their entire life acting and doing little attracting. They never meditate, visualize of perform affirmation and slave away their craft or worse, a job which they despise. Which of course attracts more hard work until they made a decision to pull back and use their mental tools to attract what they wand and move into inspired action to receive it.
