The Law of Attraction has been getting a lot of attention lately. Between Oprah and the movie "The Secret", practically everyone has heard about it. What a wonderful thing, to be able to attract anything to you that you want. But that isn't all there is to it. Let's take a look at the Law of Attraction, the good, the bad, and the ugly.
The Good - The Law of Attraction doesn't care about your age, your gender, or your status; it works equally well for everyone, and it has changed the lives of many men and women for the better. By using the natural law of the Universe and tapping into this limitless pool of energy, anyone can take a dream, a desire or a goal and be moved into positive action.
The Law of Attraction is a reason for people to take stock of their abilities, to seriously look at their goals and to begin making them come true. The nature of how the Law works gives people a chance to take action, use their potential, avoid procrastination and live a life that is filled with purposeful dreaming and creation. The Law is not just about having goals, it's about fulfilling them in a structured way.
The Bad - Everything about the Law of Attraction depends on the individual and by that very nature, the law can turn out to be quite bad. If you are unconsciously using the Laws of Attraction in a negative way, you will create a life that you don't want and will wonder why your life is so pathetic.
And, if you've chosen your readings about the Universal Laws carefully, you'll find that just because the power of making dreams come true is available to everyone, it doesn't automatically mean that we all can take our pick of the apples from the tree. Just visualizing won't create results. It takes way more effort than that.
And the Law of Attraction has fallen victim to commercialization. Notice all of the books, blogs, CDs, seminars and movies, all promising to be THE guide to the Law of Attraction. Most of these products (and they are products) promise their readers and users a new thing, a new concept, a new action plan but in truth, they don't all deliver. What they contain is just the same ideas and concepts of the same law. Innovative? No. Repackaged? Definitely.
The Ugly - Can something this good be ever bad? Is it possible for a Universal Law to hide an ugly, dark side? Is there something about it that we should worry about? It is if you are in the habit of making your own reality that is way out of line with possibilities.
The danger is that the Law of Attraction might be misinterpreted and used to the extreme and spun off into a world of fantasy. This can happen when a person creates his own reality, something that may be a hundred million light years away from the truth in his life.
Let's take for example the well-loved reality show 'American Idol'. Hundreds and thousands of those who audition for the show, really, truly believe in their hearts that they are the next American Idol. Now let's say that a fourth of them use the Law of Attraction to help them make their dreams come true. Will this work?
Thinking that the Law of Attraction will work based solely on the premise that only focusing on something you want will bring it to life is faulty. Using the American Idol example, we'll find at least two examples where creating your own reality collides with a successful use of the Law of Attraction. First, not everyone who uses the Law of Attraction has the talent and singing skills to help them go through the rounds in the competition. Second, even if everyone who uses the Law of Attraction does have the singing talent, not everyone will get his dream because there's only one top spot. The rest will lose due to a lack of votes from the viewers and the fact that there's only room for one.
Remember that the Law of Attraction is about the truth. It will not survive or thrive in misconceptions and delusions, especially if these are self-imposed. Depending on how you use it, the Law can change your perception of things in your life. For that alone, consider the Law as something really Good. But as you use the Law of Attraction, be aware of the bad and the ugly as well.
