As a writer, practitioner, and helper in all things connected with the Law of Attraction and its use, I sometimes come across people who have got the wrong idea. I'm fairly sure now that I've seen pretty much all the different ways in which someone can get the wrong idea about the Law of Attraction and how it works. I'm prepared to see some new ones though.
After all, in a very real way, that's what I'm here for - to try to help people to arrange their thinking about their life and the Law of Attraction (LOA) so they can get favorable outcomes, instead of the same old unfavorable ones.
One of the most common misconceptions is that you can use the Law of Attraction to achieve vast wealth and a perfect lifestyle, without actually having to DO anything.
This wrong thinking tends to be the domain of people who have watched the movie, The Secret, but were not really watching it very carefully! The Secret is a fine movie, featuring some of the most wise and successful LOA practitioners and teachers. But it is quite possible to come away from it believing that all you need to do is to think happy thoughts and wish for wealth, and all your troubles will be over. A large truck will come and dump a whole stack of currency on your front porch, courtesy of the Law of Attraction.
Of course, it doesn't work like that.
The people who have this misconception will quite naturally get frustrated when this approach fails to work. But it's interesting to note one thing. Many of them, when they fail in this way, do not conclude that there is something wrong with the way they are applying the Law of Attraction. No, they tend to blame the Law of Attraction itself for not working.
The news is that there's something that's not working, true enough, but it's not the Law of Attraction. The Law of Attraction is always working. It can never be switched off. We have said that enough times already, but maybe we will say it many more times in the future. The Law of Attraction is always working. The problem is in the wrong thinking of the person who has the idea that the Law of Attraction does not work. It is simply not true that LOA teachers tell you that you can just sit around and wish for money and it will somehow float towards you.
In my work with SFI, I've seen many examples of this misconception. People sign up to my team, and they can do that for free, because SFI does not require a fee upfront to join and start a business. The idea behind this, of course, is that anyone from any background can sign up, and begin to learn all they need to know for making a successful business with unlimited earning potential.
But then after they sign up, many of them do not actually do anything much. I suppose they thought that signing up was all they had to do. While this is a great first step, it is only that. The first step. You have to continue walking forward.
When you use the Law of Attraction, the first thing you must do is to change your thinking. Start to put out a positive vibration to the universe and the world around you. Make yourself feel confident. Always look out for the best in everything.
If you do this, I guarantee that the universe will then respond by showing you ideas. These ideas will be ways in which you can move forward into abundance. They will be custom-made for you. People will come up to you unexpectedly and suggest ways that you can improve things, or start a scheme or venture or a new business. This will be as a result of your positive thinking and your expectancy.
When this happens, you have to be ready to act on these ideas and hints and suggestions. You can let a few go by, but if you keep on letting them go by, then pretty soon they will stop coming.
Let's suppose you want to catch some fish. It won't be much use to you to sit at home thinking happy thoughts about it. You have to get out on the lake, with a boat, and with a rod and line if you want to catch some fish. And if the fish don't come the first few times, then you have to keep going out there until you find them. So you have to do both of these necessary things - think positively about catching the fish, and then take the action to catch them.
This approach does not only apply to fishing, but to everything that you choose to do. Any project, any scheme, any business.
It is just not enough to have the thoughts. You have to then be ready to take the action when the opportunities appear. If you do this, then you will see how the Law of Attraction works for you. With time and patience, the abundance of wealth that is rightfully yours will begin to appear.
