Can Using the Law of Attraction Help My Business – Part 5 Final Thoughts
ByOne area of the Law of Attraction that has given me pause is the idea that we have attracted everything in our life. Now I’m all for personal responsibility. I like knowing I am in control of my destiny. But sometimes sh@t happens. What about natural disasters? Crimes? Accidents?I’ve asked a number of Law of Attraction experts “so what about natural disasters – say Hurricane Katrina or the tsunami in south-east Asia?” They have all answers yes, the people in those situations attracted those events.
Well I’m sorry, but this is where I have to differ from the experts. I think there’s a reason that we have the expression “acts of God” in our vocabulary. Some things are truly beyond our control – sh@t happens.
It doesn’t do us any good to wonder what we did to bring it on. Nothing! We can’t change the past. What matters is asking what can we do next to get ourselves out of this mess.
I agree that too often we let ourselves think things in our lives are out of our control, things have just happened, when really they were the result of choices we’ve made in the past and continue to make today. However, there is nothing productive to be gained from thinking we have power over nature or over the behavior of others.
The key to using the Law of Attraction is recognizing events that we have control over and doing something about them if we don’t like the results we’re getting now. Moaning and whining about what’s wrong in our lives may gain us a little sympathy from our friends but it won’t change anything.
So put the Law of Attraction into play. Define your values, set a goal that is aligned with those values, take action to achieve your goal, hunt out the negative thoughts that are holding you back. If you do these things, the Law of Attraction will be working with you to achieve great things.

Excellent point! The events over which we have some control, the “human powers” sometime require aid from the larger, or collective social sphere, and then when it’s really of a spiritual question (which includes questions about our “fate”) then we require aid from the divine! The Chinese divide these spheres into Personal, Collective and Divine, and of the three, the only one over which we have “control” is our own, personal sphere.
That’s a great article, I do believe that we need to take control of our live and it starts with our thoughts, feelings and actions. There is a great site that has a lot of resources when you participate in their experiment, check it out at

Have you heard of the new upcoming movie “How Thoughts Become Things?” I just saw the trailer at http://www.HowThoughtsBecomeThings.com It is a question I have had since seeing the Secret, but it really hasn’t been answered very well. I hope this film will do a better job. It claims it will tie the Law of Attraction to modern Neuroscience in a way that will be applicable for everyone. I think that if they can provide these answers it will be wonderful!
