Good stuff - I think the backlash against that movie The Secret is because of this - that the work / persistence in the original texts (Think and Grow Rich, Science of Getting Rich, etc) - have been left out, making it some way for people to continue daydreaming and then feel okay about it.

I have changed my mind over time but not for the reasons, one might think. I found that LOA has a very scientific side it is just misunderstood and presented in a way that makes people think it's all about "wishing your desires into consciousness". When actually it is more about going about your day with confidence and gaining what you want because you work hard and with purpose. I could relate to this idea because of my many years of martial arts training. If you try to break a brick and you have even the slightest doubt of whether you can do it or not you are more likely to break your hand. Yet, even someone like me (5' 1" tall and about 125lbs) can break right through it by focusing my energy correctly. :) Just a different view of LOA you may find interesting (instead of the far fetched version).

It seems like such a hollow wish. If I want something, then it will show up on my doorstep, but if it doesn't show up it is because I didn't want it badly enough. The law of attraction is more like the law of pipe dreams. Then on the other hand, I am one of those people who put faith in God. I guess if you don't believe in God then maybe my prayers would seem like pipe dreams too. Anyhow I couldn't agree more with you when you say that we need to do the massive, consistent action thing if we want to achieve anything. I would much rather work hard to edge my way to my goals, than just sit there and wait for them to land in my lap. Thanks Tom Hi Vern

I like your straight direct, no nonsense attitude towards success. Coincidentally, I am also writing a post on Law of Attraction, and I have linked your post as a reference. Please look out for it in the next 1 day or 2. Cheers! Hi Vern,

I like the idea of the Law of Attraction, but practically, I just can't buy it. It means that anyone we see who's going through a tough time, dying of cancer, etc. is to blame for it. You have cancer? That's your fault. The Law of Attraction sounds warm and cuddly, but it's pretty cold in reality. I am definitely more along your lines of thinking.
