"Law of Attraction", as an idea, was put forward by the philosophers of the New Thought. These philosophers were of the opinion that individuals have the ability to bring into their lives, things that they really want. If a person thinks about something a lot, they can try and get that thing into his or her life. But if we think about negative things or unwanted objects a bit too much, then chances are that even those will end up entering our lives.
Many critics and scientists do not believe in the Law of Attraction simply because this law, unlike other laws, cannot be proved scientifically. It cannot be put to test in a laboratory like the laws in physical sciences, or be tested statistically like the laws in the social sciences. Thus, they say that it should not be called a "law". However, there are a lot of people who believe in this law, simply because it affects the psyche, the mind; something that cannot be tested using the mundane, scientific processes.
The law of attraction is not really a concept that is brand new. It was there even a thousand years back. It is applicable, not only for things or objects, but even for the people in our lives. Our mind and attitudes automatically draw those people into our lives that are "like-minded" or share similar thoughts, beliefs and ideas.
We make friends with people we like. We like them because they have similarities with our own selves, our choices, and opinions. We attract people who are very much like ourselves. Even though there may be exceptions, the exceptions are not the rule here. This is all because of the law of attraction.
This law is not the only law of this kind. There are others as well. But this law can be extremely beneficial for those who truly want to bring about alterations in their lives. But this law needs to be believed in. doubt and disbelieve will simply lead to unwanted or wrong results.
Apart from figuring out how exactly the law works, we have to figure out what we exactly want from it, and we have to be fervent and ardent about our wishes. Unless we want something strongly enough, we will not be able to achieve it. Every individual has a lot of potential, and also the power to change many undesired aspects of their lives.
Many individuals feel that the law of attraction can be misused. People could use it to make themselves richer, or more powerful, simply by mastering it. But this is easier said than done. The law does not work for everyone, or just because somebody wants something. The important thing here is the feeling or the sentiment behind the desire. Wishes out jealousy or sheer impulsiveness will not come true. Desires that make us glad or happy are the ones that have chances of coming true. Thus clarity behind wanting what we want is important here.
We need to be sure that we really need that thing in our life, and we will benefit by it. And we also shouldn't have thoughts or beliefs that are conflicting, because in this way our wishes get cancelled. Thus to curb this problem, everyone needs to identify such thoughts, and then deal with them. Once the identification is done, half the job is done. Also, while trying to make the law of attraction work, we need to put away all kinds of negative thoughts and emotions. Such thoughts simply hinder and sabotage the process.
At the same time, simply believing in the law of attraction will not do. We have to have belief in ourselves. And most importantly, we must have belief in our beliefs. All our actions and reactions are, to a great extent, controlled by our beliefs. Our beliefs and values will determine our actions, and these actions of ours, will determine what we attract into our lives. Thus the law of attraction will work effectively only if we believe in ourselves and our abilities.
