The Law Of Attraction; My take on it

I have and will always be skeptical of anything that uses the word “secret” or “what others don’t want you to know.” The Law of Attraction is what is behind the book called “The Secret.” In my view, the basic Law of Attraction is sound, the problem is that when applying it to the attainment of wealth it is fundamentally flawed. However, applying it to wealth is the hook that draws in the people to spend their money and buy it.

In a way, it’s like a diet. There are hundreds and possibly thousands of diets out there, but for most people none of them work. The allure of weight loss, of the ease of the diet, using celebrities, appealing to our vanity, the fundamental concept of advertising is what is used to get us to spend our money on another diet that won’t work. Why won’t it work? It’s because our mindset is not there. We are looking for the easy way, the “secret,” the way with the littlest amount of work needed. If we are in the mindset that we will lose weight and do whatever it takes, then any one of the diets will work. It’s all in our heads! One of the hardest things to do is to step back from the situation and perform an objective analysis. We are too caught up in our lives to know what is best for ourselves.

When it comes to the attainment of wealth you have to be prepared. I have put together a program that will help prepare you for books like “The Secret” and I am not charging you a penny. It is all laid out in this blog “Are You Prepared for Success?” aka "The Process."

This is a complex subject and I could go on for hours, however, I just wanted to write a short essay. I elaborate more in the "The Process" and will probably write other essays with more detail.
