Law of Attraction

What is the Law of Attraction? One of the more famous "experts" on the Law of Attraction are Esther and Jerry Hicks. Also, there was a film in 2006, "The Secret," which in 2007 became a book. The film and book swept the world and became a huge success. Even Oprah Winfrey had two episodes on her show that covered this concept.
A short and sweet summary of the Law of Attraction is "The essence of that which is like unto itself, is drawn."

If this is true, then we are fully responsible for our lives. We cannot blame anyone. Whatever I have going on inside of me - thoughts, feelings, etc - will attract/draw similar energies into my life. For many years I did not believe this, but after having experienced situations where I could see the results of my thoughts and feelings, I am now a believer.

Still I am not as "disciplined" as I would like to be with my thoughts and feelings. But at least I am aware of what I am doing. That is always a first step. And I have a choice in every situation to choose how I want to deal with it.

The book "Excuse me Your Life is Waiting" also talks extensively about this law. Lynn Grabhorn gives many, many examples from her own life and how her feelings created situations that were either pleasant or less pleasant, depending on what she was feeling.

The Law of Attraction seems to work and it works both ways - negative and positive. It is up to us how we choose to use it and which results we want to have in our lives. I think it is fascinating and it definitely gives life a more interesting perspective when you start realizing that it is up to you what kind of life you want.
