The Law of Attraction and Why It Doesn't Deliver

It sounds so straightforward: Ask, expect, and receive.

For some, the Law of Attraction appears to work magically. Others repeatedly try and receive no success. Without positive results, they wonder if 'the Law of Attraction' is a load of bull.

There are reasons why no matter how many times a person asks for something, the Law of Attraction fails to deliver.

Results May Not Be As Instantaneous as Expected

One explanation why the Law of Attraction may not work is that you might be wanting your wish list to manifest immediately. You have to realize that the Law of Attraction involves sending out positive energy around a subject. You must trust that the universe will send it back to you in due time.

What you're seeking is generally something good and that is in some cases desperately needed, like money that may save the day. You may find that you are impatiently drumming your fingers and asking exactly when it is going to appear. If you do, it may mean that you do not have faith that anything is coming. You are just going through the motions and not willing to commit to a positive thinking routine.

Stifling the Universe's Creative Power

You might also be expecting the answer to your demands to come in one method, and one way alone. As an example, you might ask for a financial windfall. Hoping to win, you drive to the Rez and spend your last dime on the casino's progressive jackpot slot machines because in your mind, the casino is the only source of fast cash in the universe. This may be your conception of the Law of Attraction. However, if you are alert to your thoughts or to messages that make their way to you, you may discover another means of fulfillment of your request. An idea might come to you that would create the money you desire. Following up on the inspired idea might involve some effort, but the end result would be the same... the cash you need. If your energy is positive, you will look upon this circumstance with gratitude and joy. By the Law of Attraction, acting on an inspired idea can only enhance the good in your life.

Getting Frustrated and Quitting

Another mistake people make in practicing the Law of Attraction is placing too much emphasis on current reality as they see it. When they see things that seem to prove that the Law of Attraction is not working, they quit believing. They get frustrated and their thoughts turn negative. This negativity will bring more of the same.

The fact of the matter is that if people genuinely understand the Law of Attraction and the science behind it, what appears to be going on in current 'reality' will have little influence on them. This is because they will have total faith and trust that the Law of Attraction has been working all along. For instance, today's reality is only the manifestation of yesterday's thoughts and the future will be different.

People who experience success with the Law of Attraction know that their new positive, focused thoughts will undoubtedly come to pass.

Limiting Beliefs and Values

The Law of Attraction may not work because of limiting beliefs and values that were learned in the past. Many have strong emotions about things they consider to be too much to ask for or have.

Much of this may be because of past experiences and upbringing. If, during your entire youth, you were repeatedly told that prosperous people are bad people, it creates a paradox when practicing the Law of Attraction to attract large sums of money. For example, you may consciously intend to manifest financial abundance using the Law of Attraction but on a subconscious level, you are rejecting any abundance that may come your way because you don't want to be a bad person.

When these emotions are running in the background, it changes the energy you are sending out. Experts in the Law of Attraction have developed ways to release such emotions. These methods allow a person to be free of negative vibes that have come from childhood or past experiences and to use the Law of Attraction without subconscious limitations. 'Mind Movies' are a promising new tool that can be easily used to transform the negativity lurking around in the subconscious mind (see http://www.achieve-your-destiny.com for details). People's experiences with Mind Movies have been outstanding.

If you properly use the Law of Attraction, you will have what you want. It can become easy to master once you change the way you think and feel about things. If you can come to understand the Law of Attraction fully, you can witness fantastic results through the Law of Attraction.
