Did you read all those self-help books already? And is your life still pretty much the same as it was, or even worse? Maybe some piece of the puzzle is missing here.

Let’s take a closer look at the Law of Attraction: If this concept is really true, it means that whatever is going on inside your mind is creating the reality you experience. Now, think about that for a moment.

Suppose you want to manifest something, like a new car. And at the moment you hardly have enough money to pay the rent. But you have read in the latest self-help book that to get something you just need to focus your thoughts on it!

So you really go for it, you do your best to visualize that car. However, at the back of your mind there is that little voice whispering: “Don’t be silly - you KNOW you haven’t got the money!” And even if you manage to quiet that voice for a few minutes, it will most likely soon be back doing its thing.

What, then, are you actually putting out into the Universe? A very mixed message, mostly consisting of the statement “I cannot afford a new car!”

This is why the Law of Attraction doesn’t seem to work for most of us. Or, actually, it DOES work… but not the way we would like it to work. We are constantly shaping our reality, but usually without knowing what we are really doing.
