It seems so straightforward: Ask, expect, and receive.

The Law of Attraction seems to work like magic for some people. Others repeatedly try and receive no success. Without anything happening, they can’t help but wonder if ‘the Law of Attraction’ is a load of nonsense.

There are explanations why the Law of Attraction fails for some.

Results May Not Be As Instantaneous as Expected

One reason why the Law of Attraction may not seem to work is that you might be expecting immediate results without doing the inner work. You have to realize that you are simply sending out positive energy surrounding a subject. You must trust that the universe will send it back to you in its time.

What you are seeking is most likely something good and that is in some cases desperately needed, like a nice chunk of cash to pay off some persistent creditors. You may find that you are worrying whether the Law of Attraction will actually work and asking exactly when it’s going to happen. If you do, it may mean that you do not trust that anything is coming. You are just pretending to believe and not willing to commit to a positive thinking routine.

Stifling the Universe’s Creative Power

You might also be expecting the manifestation of the Law of Attraction to arrive in a limited, specific fashion. By way of example, you might ask for a financial windfall. You are hoping a relative will just give it to you. This may be your idea of the Law of Attraction. However, if you are aware of what takes place in your environment, you may come across another means of fulfillment of your request. An inspiration might be revealed to you that would create the money you want. It might involve some work, but the end result would be the same … the financial abundance you wanted. If your outlook is positive, you will recognize the opportunity that has been revealed and pounce on it with gratitude. By the Law of Attraction, this can only enhance the good in your life.

Giving Up Too Early

Another error people make in using the Law of Attraction is to put too much emphasis on the current reality they see. When they see things that seem to prove that the Law of Attraction is not working, they quit believing. They get frustrated and their once-positive thoughts degrade into negative ones. This negativity will bring more of the same.

The fact of the matter is that if people truly understand the Law of Attraction and the science behind it, external evidence will have little effect on them. This is because they will have total belief and faith that the Law of Attraction has been operating all along. For instance, today’s reality is only the manifestation of yesterday’s thoughts and the future will be different.

People who experience success with the Law of Attraction realize that their new positive, focused thoughts will without a doubt come to fruition.

Limiting Belief Systems

Deeply held beliefs instilled in us since childhood may be limiting our experience with the Law of Attraction Many have deeply ingrained feelings about things they consider to be too much to ask for or have.

A great deal of this may be due to past experiences and upbringing. If, during your entire youth, you were constantly told that prosperous people are bad and selfish, it creates a paradox when practicing the Law of Attraction to create abundance. For instance, you may consciously intend to manifest wealth using the Law of Attraction but on a deeper level, you are rejecting any financial windfall that may come your way because you do not want to be a bad person.

These feelings or subconscious drives have a tendency to cloud the positive energy that you send out using the Law of Attraction. Experts in the Law of Attraction have developed ways to release such emotions. These methods allow the person to fully use the Law of Attraction. ‘Mind Movies’ are an exciting new resource that can be easily used to transform the negativity lurking around in the subconscious mind (see http://www.achieve-your-destiny.com for details). People’s experiences from Mind Movies have been outstanding.

If you properly use the Law of Attraction, you will have what you want. It can be easy once you change the way you feel and think about things. If you can come to fully embrace the Law of Attraction, you can witness fantastic results through the Law of Attraction.
