   It does work. You just have to focus on positive thoughts and let them go knowing whatever you want will be brought to you. You have to take chances though, if a certain happening took place and you thought it could help you, do take advantage of it.

   I believe the premise of the law of attraction is thinking of ways to achieve a certain goal and pouncing on opportunities that will make you another step closer to that goal.

   I'm going to take the opposite stance and say that "the law of attraction" doesn't exist.
   
   1) People in poverty (like developing country style) can wish as much as they want and still never improve their status. Even hard work can't make a difference in some places.
   
   2) I think the "law of attraction" could probably be revised to the law of "caring about something enough that you do something about it and actually make it happen".
   
   In all, I don't believe it's some kind of universal law. Rather, it's just a mixture of hard work, opportunity, and diligence.
   
   Thoughts?

      The Law of Attraction is far closer to the idea of "faith."
      
      With true faith, people in poverty can do anything. Too often their faith is on current reality, so they get more of the same.
      
      Faith is feeling, not conscious thought.

   No. The Universe if not a "genie in a bottle".
   
   You will not receive checks in the mail if you stare at pictures of money and mansions magnet-pinned to your fridge.
   
   No, this metaphysical "secret" is not be hidden from you by the powers that be.
   
   Yes, you can have a direct influence on your life through physical and spiritual work, focus, and dedication, but it is not magic. It is not a secret. It is not a 'law' in the traditional sense. 
   
   There is substance in the essence of the idea, but the messaging in the Secret is AT BEST ignorantly irresponsible and at worst an outright scam.

      Perhaps more accurately,... you won't receive checks by doing those things.
      
      The "universe" really does "say," "Your wish is my command." And it listens to your negative requests just as much as it listens to my positive ones

   the law of attraction is a very powerful tool and it only works if you have your own power within and believe in that same power
   
   and that power is you can influence everything around you to do or behave as you want
   
   let me give u a good example..have you ever stared at someone unconsiously  and after some time that persons looks at you??
   yes that is the power that lies in you..."What you concentrate on,does the same back to you"

    The law of attraction is really very simple. The base of it centers around vibrational energy. Famous Louise Hay says it best when she said that "With every thought you think and every word you speak, you are creating your own future." It is the belief that you will attract (the energy of) what you are giving out. One of my favorite things about it is the simple and constant positive affirmations you say to yourself continually. If you believe it, you live it, it will come to you. The thing is that you must be a VIBRATIONAL MATCH to whatever it is you want. This is the challenge !

    Yes it most definitely does, and it's the only thing that works or can ever work. The thing about the Secret, although it did help me accomplish things I NEVER otherwise would have thought were possible... it is missing a HUGE component. I strongly recommend you start to watch the youtube clips of Abraham Hicks. It is weird at first, but once you get used to her/his particular terminology, you will soon learn that the teachings are what explain EVERYTHING about how the law of attraction works, and how this Universe works. I have never felt more honest about anything. Good luck, and much love!

    I believe it works. It is all in the mind. What you think, you will to happen. Like a self fullfilling prophecy. I say that because any premeditated thought creates an action or inaction. Doing nothing is a just as active as an action.
    
    Let's use meeting someone at a bar. How you conduct yourself will create some time of reaction good or bad.
    
    How about getting up in a bad mood. That sets the tone of the day because your energy is negative. All your reactions will be more negative.
    
    Ever see an old grumpy person surrounded by people who want to be around them.
    
    positive people attract people like magnets because of the positive energy they give.

    I love your questions and the answer is YES but of course, anywhere you look, any religion, scientific concept, they all believe we use energy, GOD, connectivity, prayers, to get what we want we must ask, and have faith that we will receive it.
    
    I recommend reading The secret, or Angelspeake by barbara mark and Trudy griswald, lus thanx you gave me an idea for a new HUB>>>>

    IT DOES EXIST AND IT DOES WORK
    
    Now in the book and in the movie you are lead to belive that you all your wishfull thinking will come true, there is alittle more to it.
    
    Strongly recommend the you read the book and also read think and grow rich by napoleon hill as it is the original book where the content was taken from.
    
    Also I read the book and put some of it into practice like the part that says start to think positive about getting less bills in the mail or something like that and I did everyday I was thinking it would be so cool to get free money in the mail and I trully believed it and guess what happened a week later I got a letter in the mail from some random survey company and enclose was 1 whole dollar ! it said to thank you for your time in answering this letter here is a dollar for your time. it seems like this could be some logical thing that eventually a survey company would do this but what about the coincidence that I had been thinking about it a week prior and that all my life i had never gotten any money out of the blue at random in the mail.
    so i decided to do some research and there is a scientific term called serendipity which explains this sort  of event so I wouldnt go out and preach about the secret I would actually practice it and call it by what researchers name it and it is serendipty. feel free to google the term and check more info on the subject.

    I think 'The Secret' is just positive thinking that has been repackaged and sold to people who need something to believe in to help them succeed, as it encourages people to think positively and focus on what they want. If we believe we can achieve something then we have a much higher chance of achieving, which is basically what 'The Secret' is about. I can't say I'm follower of 'The Secret', although I've watched the film and it makes sense to a degree. I do believe in positive thinking though and believe it that works.

       "The Secret" leaves out a lot, but it is far more than "positive thinking." It is far more than merely increasing the odds of success.
       
       Beyond "The Secret" is the mechanics of creation -- the art of prayer and "asking and receiving."

    We bought the dvd and watched it a number of times. Finally realized it did work....for the people the created it. I think Goethe say it best:
    
    Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back-- Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth that ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.”
    ? Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
    
    I agree with the sowing and reaping too.
