More Guidance For The Universal Law of Attraction

A couple of years ago, everyone was jazzed about a movie that was making its way through the landscape called "The Secret". Based on the book by the same name authored by Rhonda Byrne, the movie proposed a concept that positive thinking attracts positive energy from out in the universe to produce good results in your life, while negative thinking did the reverse. This is called the "universal law of attraction". 

The movie made it sound pretty simple. Visualize a sports car long enough, and pretty soon you'll have it. But as most of us know, that is a pretty simplistic view of wishful thinking-even if most of us admit that the universal law of attraction is real. This feeling has been confirmed by the results of a recent survey.

Some 7,190 people participated in a survey about the universal law of attraction and what they thought about it. First, is it working for people? The survey results broke down like this:

• 838 people reported that it never works
• 445 people said it worked once
• 3,681 people said it works some of the time
• 1,352 people said it works most of the time
• 874 people say it always works

These survey results are interesting-they point to the power of positive thinking. That's because for most people the law is working at least some of the time. So it would seem most of us can acknowledge that the law of universal attraction is real. And really, its always working. Its even working for the people who report it "never" works-its just working in the opposite way to what they want because they're plagued by negative thinking.

Respondents were then asked the following question: "Do you believe that the Law of Attraction is enough to reach your goals, or do you feel that there are other elements, concepts, and techniques that need to be complemented in tandem with the Law of Attraction before you can see real, accelerated results?"

56.05% of people said Yes, but 43.95% said that while the universal Law of Attraction is crucial, it is not enough on its own. As one person said, they would like more understanding and they feel that the details are missing.

That intuition is correct. Experts who've been studying the universal Law of Attraction for many years, including Bob Proctor who appeared in the movie "The Secret", say that there are other "laws" that should be applied to get the most out of the secret. To get consistent results, you have to apply the all of these laws in your daily life.
