Have you ever tried to create anything by using the Law of Attraction - only to fail miserably? If so, rather than concluding the Law is a scam for gullible fools you might want to consider trying a special 'twist' suggested by Esther Hicks, author of the famous Abraham Hicks series of written and audio materials on the Law of Attraction. The Law of Attraction simply states that 'like is attracted to like'. What this means in a practical sense is that where we predominantly place our attention creates what eventually shows up in our lives. We get what we think about, whether we want it or not,because our attention, our energy, is inviting events and experiences into physical reality. There's nothing especially "woo woo" or mystical about this. If, for some reason, green Honda Accords become important to you, you will start noticing them everywhere. Likewise, if we realize how much we enjoy the company of happy, successful people we will naturally notice and be attracted to these folks whenever we run across them Abraham Hicks Meditation. So it's obvious that if we want to make changes in our lives it's important to notice where we're placing our attention. If we continually focus on what's "wrong" we are certain to find reasons to be upset and unhappy. Conversely, if we expect to be successful we will notice opportunities and resources that the depressed and unhappy person will never see because they're too busy being miserable. The problem is that we live in a very negative culture. I once conducted a week-long experiment involving the evening news. Every night I recorded the number of stories presented and then noted which ones were negative and which were positive. The positive ones were in the single digits and even those were accompanied by a warning. A gloomy newscaster looked ominously at the camera, remarking that everything was OK... for now. The implication was that this positive state of affairs wouldn't last long. We are all drowning in a sea of negativity! This constant misery may sell magazines and newspapers but it surely doesn't help us to create joyful conditions in our lives!
