I personally dont believe in it, but i see why some people may. The thing is, anything can happen as a coincidence. So to 'Law-it' doesn't seem right. There is an increased probability in my opinion, that if you give out positive vibes, good things will happen more so than if you remain neutral or give bad vibes. It's easy to test out if you would like.

The theory that you can basically visualise whatever you desire and it'll end up manifesting.

Oh is that it? hahaha thanks do you believe in it?
No. In my life only bad things happen..whether or not I am positive.
But
I suppose for some it is something.

It actually sounds great but what are the chances that I'd happen? I can be a lil sceptical
A really good example to apply this theory to is this:
If you walk into a pub/bar/whatever in a miserable mood, feeling sorry for yourself and not saying a thing, you will in turn attract someone in that place who feels the same without saying a thing. Therefore a negative mood is attracting another negative mood. It works for positive thoughts and body language too, of course, but depressive thoughts seem to be more common and therefore a better example.

Aww sorry maybe you gotta think more positively than others to achieve positive outcomes? Judging from the sentence in italics, it sounds quite negative...
Bad things happen to everyone I suppose-I sure as hell have had terribly negative things happen, but I try to look outside the box and see the good things even in the worst situations
I think the Law of Attraction may just work for me Have you ever tried to believe in it at all or?Original post by ryan9900

Ahhh so being positive will lead to more positive energy and outcomes or will make others feel the same way you do? Thanks for the example btw!

Well it's not proven or anything if that's what you're asking, but many people claim it works for them
That is exactly what I mean. Just on a sub-conscious level you can give off a certain positive or negative energy and people can sub-consciously pick up on this. I absolutely believe this theory to be true and have proved it to myself many times. I'm not so sure I believe the part where 'thinking' about something so much and so frequently will result in you having it. If this is the case... howcome not everyone is a millionaire? Some of it goes way too far but there is definitely truth behind the theory, just not all the ways in which people attempt to apply it.

This was answered by someday just a while ago, but here's something to think about... Using anger to feel powerful. I can elaborate on request.

I believe somewhere in this theory, I read that it had to do with 'the power to want', which is basically believing and striving to achieve with every ounce of faith you have, then going further and striving for further succesa. Many people who want to be millionaires don't actually have this in their mind, that they can actually do it if they truly pursue it.

Well that's cleared things up for me! I now understand that the Law of Attraction doesn't necessarily dwell upon achieving deep desires but is more to do with subconscious optimism - if that's the correct way to say it..
Thanks a bunch though, really helpful
