Do You Believe In The Law of Attraction?
Last week on this blog I gave away two tickets to see Lisa Nichols in Toronto.
When I was tweeting it out I asked one of my internet marketing buddies to tweet the link to my giveaway for me and she said something that just struck me as strange:
“I’m not into LOA myself, but I’ll tweet it for ya! 
”
Now I’m not bashing my friend here in any way and she DID tweet for me so I certainly appreciate that but I really was confused by her statement.
Also I totally get that this even might not have been her thing and totally respect that.
I find it hard to believe, though, that ANY business owner doesn’t believe in the Law of Attraction.
Here’s what I mean:
Maybe I’m way off base here because I haven’t studied much LOA myself but I’ve come to understand that the Law of Attraction is the belief that we are in control over our lives. That we attract what we think about and that ultimately we have control over what happens to us in life.
To me, being a business owner is fundamentally using the Law of Attraction to create your own destiny. I’m also of the belief that I don’t have to agree with everything any one teacher or speaker says, but I can ALWAYS find benefit, insight and/or inspiration in some or possibly many parts of their own beliefs.
And I always love attending events filled with high energy people, no matter if I agree with everything they say or not.
What do you think?
Is believing in the Law of Attraction all or nothing? Does believing in the Law of Attraction mean you agreed with every word of The Secret?
I believe in the creative power of thoughts and words. In that way, I believe in the Law of Attraction. I'm not sure where your friend shies away from it, but my problem with The Secret (the book, as I didn't see the movie) is twofold: #1, good things don't necessarily manifest within days just b/c you will it (otherwise I'd be a billionaire, LOL), and #2, I am not God.
My favorite thing about the whole LOA thing is how it makes people aware that they are responsible for where they are in life, not “fate” or past events/circumstances. Therefore, if you don't like where you are, you can change it.
I don't now if I truely understand what law of attraction is, but it kinds of reminds me of having faith. Having faith that what I want to happen will happen. Like Emily said may not be right now but it will come to pass. I think people get caught up in time frames or how it should happen. I remember that I wanted $20k and I wrote for that amount to me from “Jehovah-Jireh” and you know what I received a job that was $20k more than what I had before. Some may say that was law of attraction, some may say I worked my faith. I believe in Law of Attraction in the from of faith so it works for me.
I absolutely 100% believe the law of attraction. Now I am very religious and I truly believe the law of attraction is faith and grattitude. I believe God wants to give us everything we desire but he waits for us to ask and he will provide when the time is right. This essentially is the Law of Attraction.
It makes me sad when others don't believe in it because when you practice the LOA you feel good. In fact I was really down this week about not getting results on a project I have been working on so I pulled out the movie the Secret. I felt so good because it gives me hope and faith that I can do anything!
I saw your contest and I wish I could go because Lisa Nichols is wonderful!!
Thanks so much for your feedback everyone! It's interesting and I think everyone kind of has their own interpretation of it. I would have enjoyed the Lisa Nichols event myself I think but I just wasn't able to go but it also felt really awesome to give it away too.

Writing and being open is a very good exercise for the soul. Thank you for sharing. Experience Harmony.
