The short answer? Yes, the Law of Attraction does work. But perhaps not how you think, and only in very broad terms.

There’s a lot in this Law thats attractive (no pun intended) - you get happier, get more stuff you want, and it teaches that you have 100% control over your own destiny. All very appealing.

What is initially distracting, and what continues to distract the Law of Attractions most ardent proponents and critics alike, is its argument that thoughts and emotions directly manipulate the universe somehow. Basically whether it does or not is beside the point.

The basic principles of the Law of Attraction essentially state you do two things.
1) Be as joyful as possible right now (stop worrying)
2) Figure out what you want and imagine enjoying it (stop dwelling on the stuff that can go wrong).

Now if you follow these principles as much as possible does it matter whether thoughts and emotions directly manipulative the universe? No. You’ll get more cool stuff, be happier and be in control of your life anyway.

So how does the Law of Attraction get you stuff? Well basically in life you mostly get what you mostly focus on. Think about something a lot, and you’ll make subconscious actions to start making that happen. Or keeping it not happen, if that whats you’re thinking about.

Think about your terrible habits, you’ll stay in those habits. Think about having more money? You’ll start looking at different ways of getting more money, and start to take actions the more you think about it. You can’t not.

So, in a nutshell, the beauty of the Law of Attraction is that it encourages people to follow two highly effective, yet simple, principles that can really change your life. Thing is, people don’t conciously use these principles much, or are even aware they exist. Still more get distracted by the elements of a belief system they don’t like, or the sentimental aspects of one they do, rather than focusing on the worth and application of the core teachings.
