I believe it is a possibility; but only that. It can focus you; but not guarantee the exact outcome.

@frequentlyme I disagree . Have you looked into it or read up on it ?!

I have, but I find life so full of quirks, happenstance, odd pathways and delight, that I find it quite difficult to subscribe to the idea of the law of attraction. True, there are absolutes, or mostly so; but outside of those absolutes, life for me offers possibilities beyond what I can imagine or focus on. To have a clear objective is good, even smart; but to have the focus to carry out that objective, to the exclusion of all else, seems to me, to be too rigid. I want to, so to speak, smell the roses along they way, and if I happen to find a particular rose with a fragrance and beauty (figuratively, not literally) that takes me down a different pathway, then I want to go down that pathway.

Now, that doesn't mean I haven't or won't again have objectives I want to achieve, I have and will again. I just don't want to miss the possibilities. Which for me, dictates non belief in this law of attractions. Maybe I shouldn't say non-belief, it's more of an acceptance that it does work; but a choice to not let it be in the driver's seat.

I assume, from your response, you believe in it, and either are or wish to practice this life style. That is fantastic - we, the people of this crazy world, are as different and varied as those roses I earlier spoke of, and I wouldn't have it any other way. In our differences lies our beauty, our future, and our past. I'd love to hear what you think of this law of attraction.

@frequentlyme I think it’s takes practice to achieve the workings of the law of attraction , it has workded for me in the past and quite quickly but now I have a big task
Ahead of me and will require focus 24/7 and intent . I will follow the teachings of Abraham Hicks !

@Irishgirl1605 Makes sense... if you have a big task, then it makes sense to find a way to accomplish your goal. I'm all for and support anyone who wants to achieve a goal, so if it works for you, go for it! Just don't forget to smell the roses along the way - for me, life is just too precious to miss out on all the little things along the way, and following any single path isn't for me. I do wish you the best of luck... or the best that the law of attraction can offer.
