Here is a definition of The Law of Attraction from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia;

This article is about the New Thought principle. For the scientific and historical laws, see Laws of attraction. For the film, see Laws of Attraction.

The phrase Law of Attraction, although used widely by New Thought writers, has a variety of definitions. Turn-of-the-century references conceptualized the law of attraction as relating to physical structure and to how matter develops. A more modern consensus among New Thought thinkers is that the Law of Attraction says people's thoughts (both conscious and unconscious) dictate the reality of their lives, whether or not they're aware of it. Essentially "if you really want something and truly believe it's possible, you'll get it", but putting a lot of attention and thought onto something you don't want means you'll probably get that too.

Widespread popular interest for the law of attraction reached its peak after the release of the The Secret, a 2006 cinematic release. After the film's release, the book, Law of Attraction: The Basics of the Teachings of Abraham, by and Jerry Hicks made the New York Times Best Sellers list, drawing more attention and interest to this topic. Prior to this, the couple had been in the field since the '80s. In 2007, Oprah Winfrey began a series of interviews during her talk show on the law of attraction.

* Since many of the claims of the law of attraction appear impossible without violating established scientific principles and our understanding of the universe, it has received criticism from the scientific community. Physicist Ali Alousi, for instance, criticized it as unmeasurable (and therefore unscientific) as well as questioning the likelihood that thoughts can affect anything outside the head. The Associated Press is also quoted as saying that "some medical professionals suggest it could even lead to a blame-the-victim mentality and actually be dangerous to those suffering from serious illness or mental disorders".

* Response; Now I don’t know about you but sometimes I think our “scientific community” is blinder than a bevy of dingbats on a bright sunny day. They say the Law of Attraction’s results are unmeasurable. That’s just closed minded. The mind is like a parachute, if it doesn’t stay open – well – the results won’t be pretty - hair, teeth and eyeballs all over the landscape.

If the scientists can put a monkey in a cage, observe him, take notes, record their observations, measure the results of behaviour modification and come to scientific conclusions – then – why on earth can they not put a human in a real life situation, have him apply the principles and techniques of The Law of Attraction, observe him, take notes, record their observations, measure the results of behaviour modification and come to scientific conclusions?

There are numerous examples of spectacular results when the principles of The Law of Attraction are applied!

History is filled with successful leaders and most of them were willing and even eager to share the secrets of their success with others. Andrew Carnegie shared his secrets with Napoleon Hill and encouraged him to interview the great successes of his time. Men like Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, John D. Rockefeller, Harvey Firestone, Woodrow Wilson, John Wanamaker, George Eastman, F.W. Woolworth and the list goes on and on. Napoleon Hill found that these great men had much in common. One thing they all shared was the use of goal setting and visualization which are two of the core principles of the Law of Attraction.

Jim Carey
Some years ago I saw Jim Carey being interviewed by Barbara Walters. Jim told her about how a few years earlier, when he was still a struggling comic and washing dishes part time, he wrote a check to himself for $10,000,000. He dated it November 1995, and tucked it away in his wallet. In the Fall of 1995 he signed a $10,000,000 contract to film “THE MASK”.

Bruce Lee
A framed original copy of a contract hangs on display in the Planet Hollywood, Las Vegas. The contract with the word “SECRET” written across the top in red letters reads as follows:
MY DEFINITE CHIEF AIM
I, Bruce Lee, will be the first highest paid Oriental Super Star in the United States. In return I will give the most exciting performances and render the best of quality in the capacity of an actor. Starting in 1970 I will achieve world fame and from then onward till the end of 1980 I will have in my possession $10,000,000. I will live the way I please and achieve inner harmony and happiness. Bruce Lee, January 1969.
Bruce Lee’s life was cut short but there is no question that he more than reached his goal by the end of 1980.

George Burns
George Burns, actor and comedian, understood goal setting.
George had an outstanding career in Hollywood. Although his Burns and Allen performances with his wife Gracie were well accepted in his early career, his super success came in later years, after the age of 80. He was so successful at his craft that he was selected to play GOD in a couple of movies. It was George’s goal to reach 100 years of age. George died at age 100. Perhaps both George and Bruce should have set their goals a little further out.

In 1952 a poll was taken among the current Yale University graduating students. One of the questions asked was whether the students had definite goals in place or not. It was found that only 3% of them had goals set. In 1972, almost twenty years later, the students were again contacted to see what they had achieved. The results were astonishing! It was found that not only had the 3% achieved more than the others but that the net worth of that 3% exceeded the other 97% combined! Of course, money doesn’t indicate success in all things but it is a good yardstick to measure with in today’s society. So as you can see, goal setting is very important. But what kind of goals should you set? You should dream big and establish goals larger than yourself. You should visualize yourself already having accomplished these goals. You should review and visualize these goals daily.

You should have a lifetime goal. As you travel on life’s journey you need a destination. If you don’t have a destination you will surely get lost along the way.

‘Would you tell me please, which way I ought to go from here?’ ‘That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,’ said the Cat.
‘I don’t much care where—’said Alice.
‘Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,’ said the Cat.
