the law of attraction has become widely
popular due to the success of the secret
which is a book that has sold over 19
million copies it states that if you
want something to happen you just have
to believe and think about it really
hard and your thoughts will manifest it
whether it be events things or even
people if you believe in it hard enough
it will happen but just how true is the
law of attraction i think that the law
of attraction is ninety percent correct
i don't agree with how it says that your
thoughts manifest things with thought
powers of the universe because frankly
in my opinion it's common sense why it
works see we have a thing right here at
the top of our heads called the brain i
like to think of the brain as a
problem-solving machine because that's
what it is that's what it specializes in
that's how our DNA has survived the test
of time for millions of years by having
a way to solve all of the obstacles and
problems that come your way you give
your brain a problem it start solving it
it's cold ok we need to build a fire and
shelter
we're hungry okay we need to find food
somehow you want to pass on your genes
ok we need to find a mate and the great
thing about our problem-solving machine
is that it's the best type of problem
solving machine on the entire planet
out of the 8 million other species on
this planet we're at the top of the food
chain because that's just how good our
problem-solving machine is on top of
that each of us shares about ninety-nine
point nine percent of the coating of
this problem solving machine or as we
like to call it DNA with every other
human on earth even great scientist
great athlete and powerful powerful
people so it's safe to say that the
majority of people share in equally
powerful problem-solving machine the
reason the law of attraction works is
because that's just how good we are at
solving problems if you give your
problem-solving machine a task to
complete it starts looking around your
environment for things that solve this
problem which is why people who decide
to lose weight and start envisioning
themselves skinnier suddenly find
themselves surrounded with more
opportunities to learn about weight loss
they say well it must be the law of
attraction working the powers of the
universe all of these forum post about
ketosis or intermittent fasting or the
coincidence of bumping into someone who
gives you fitness advice
it's not the universe that
setting you up those opportunities have
always been there it's just that you
never notice them until you started
thinking about weight loss all the time
and this law can be applied to just
about anything you want to be rich think
about it and imagine yourself becoming
rich you want a girlfriend think about
it and imagine yourself already
succeeding and form you'll get a
girlfriend now you might say well this
is intruders tons of things are wanted
to go to never come around
well that's because the law of
attraction isn't a hundred percent
accurate
you can't just think and put something
appears in front of you there are four
mistakes that people make which stop
them from accomplishing whatever it is
they want with the law of attraction
number one they stopped giving their
brain problems to solve
if you look around this is extremely
common nowadays people go out drinking
they spend hours watching TV or netflix
and scrolling through social media they
play video games it's almost as if
people are running away from reality
they don't want to sit down and
contemplate what their problem-solving
machine needs to work on next
in fact it gets so anxious about the
future to incapacitate themselves in any
way possible
they're basically turning their machine
off so if you tell people you want to be
successful and start your own company
you spend six days a week under some
sort of influence whether it be weed
alcohol TV or porn
you're never going to solve this problem
because guess what your machine isn't
even turned on the second mistake that
people make is that they try solving
unsolvable problems there's certain
problems your problem-solving machine
cannot solve there's simply no correct
answer for example let's say that you're
in a toxic relationship you've been
together for a long time but things have
been sour for a while there's arguments
break up getting back together
manipulation lack of trust you spend so
much time worrying about how to fix the
relationship when in reality it might be
something that you can't really solve
sometimes there's simply nothing you can
do to fix something and it's best to
just walk away another example of an
unsolvable problem is trying to go back
in time to fix something many of us
spend large periods of time
ruminating about the past oh I should
have done this in high school or oh I
should have said this to so-and-so when
you do this you're telling a
problem-solving machine to solve this
problem but it
it's not possible there's no way you can
go back in time and solve it
so in the end you're just wasting more
time the third mistake is that people
give their brain problems that
contradict each other i would say that
this is actually the number one most
detrimental mistake that people make
because it's something that flies under
the radar
let's say for example you want to be in
a relationship you think about it all
the time but at the same time you spend
time thinking about why you don't
deserve to be in a relationship
most people who are single who really
really really want to be in a
relationship
don't think they're attractive or doubt
their abilities to court a member of the
opposite sex
so in this case you're telling a
problem-solving machine to do two things
number one looks for ways to get into a
relationship number to look for proof
that i will never be in a relationship
the solution to the second problem
negates the solution to the first
problem in order to find proof that
you'll never be in a relationship will
start acting in a way that will make it
so that you won't be in a relationship
another example of this is very present
in my group of childhood friends they
all say they want to own their own
business and make a ton of money but at
the same time they don't believe taking
risk is safe nor possible so in this
case they're telling their
problem-solving machine to solve two
problems number one look for ways to
start a business and make a ton of money
number to look for proof that taking
risk is not face nor possible again your
brain is unable to solve problem one
when it's looking for answers to problem
two because if you're looking for proof
that risk is not possible you're going
to skip over every opportunity that
could eventually grown into a thriving
business
the fourth and final problem people make
is that they don't give their brain
enough time to solve a problem let's say
your goal is to build a six-figure
business realistic even if you knew
exactly what to do
how long do you think that would take
you even the smartest and brightest
would have to work for at least a year
or two in order to accomplish this goal
from nothing but you're not the smartest
you're not the brightest you don't know
what to do
so that means they'll take you anywhere
from two to maybe even 10 years of
constantly asking your problem-solving
machine to solve this problem in order
to solve the problem people are very
impatient they think okay law of
attraction
I'll think about my six-figure business
really hard for like a week or a month
but if you ask any successful business
owner
the first model business was like the
answer is well it usually sucked really
bad but the reason they succeed is that
they continue to ask the problem-solving
machine to solve this problem as long as
it takes until it's solved it
the key to making the law of attraction
work for you really comes down to your
ability to turn on your problem-solving
machine constantly ask it to solve one
problem to clear your mind of any other
problems that would contradict that one
problem and to make sure that you're
asking a problem that can be solved
that's why although all this magic will
talk about thinking and envisioning your
goals
sounds like bullshit it's actually very
powerful and effective because when you
envision a goal and you're thinking
about it all the time you're telling
your problem-solving machine i want that
so let's get to work and that's it
it's simple!
