popular due to the success of the secret

which is a book that has sold over 19

million copies it states that if you

want something to happen you just have

to believe and think about it really

hard and your thoughts will manifest it

whether it be events things or even

people if you believe in it hard enough

it will happen but just how true is the

law of attraction i think that the law

of attraction is ninety percent correct

i don't agree with how it says that your

thoughts manifest things with thought

powers of the universe because frankly

in my opinion it's common sense why it

works see we have a thing right here at

the top of our heads called the brain i

like to think of the brain as a

problem-solving machine because that's

what it is that's what it specializes in

that's how our DNA has survived the test

of time for millions of years by having

a way to solve all of the obstacles and

problems that come your way you give

your brain a problem it start solving it

it's cold ok we need to build a fire and

shelter

we're hungry okay we need to find food

somehow you want to pass on your genes

ok we need to find a mate and the great

thing about our problem-solving machine

is that it's the best type of problem

solving machine on the entire planet

out of the 8 million other species on

this planet we're at the top of the food

chain because that's just how good our

problem-solving machine is on top of

that each of us shares about ninety-nine

point nine percent of the coating of

this problem solving machine or as we

like to call it DNA with every other

human on earth even great scientist

great athlete and powerful powerful

people so it's safe to say that the

majority of people share in equally

powerful problem-solving machine the

reason the law of attraction works is

because that's just how good we are at

solving problems if you give your

problem-solving machine a task to

complete it starts looking around your

environment for things that solve this

problem which is why people who decide

to lose weight and start envisioning

themselves skinnier suddenly find

themselves surrounded with more

opportunities to learn about weight loss

they say well it must be the law of

attraction working the powers of the

universe all of these forum post about

ketosis or intermittent fasting or the

coincidence of bumping into someone who

gives you fitness advice

it's not the universe that

setting you up those opportunities have

always been there it's just that you

never notice them until you started

thinking about weight loss all the time

and this law can be applied to just

about anything you want to be rich think

about it and imagine yourself becoming

rich you want a girlfriend think about

it and imagine yourself already

succeeding and form you'll get a

girlfriend now you might say well this

is intruders tons of things are wanted

to go to never come around

well that's because the law of

attraction isn't a hundred percent

accurate

you can't just think and put something

appears in front of you there are four

mistakes that people make which stop

them from accomplishing whatever it is

they want with the law of attraction

number one they stopped giving their

brain problems to solve

if you look around this is extremely

common nowadays people go out drinking

they spend hours watching TV or netflix

and scrolling through social media they

play video games it's almost as if

people are running away from reality

they don't want to sit down and

contemplate what their problem-solving

machine needs to work on next

in fact it gets so anxious about the

future to incapacitate themselves in any

way possible

they're basically turning their machine

off so if you tell people you want to be

successful and start your own company

you spend six days a week under some

sort of influence whether it be weed

alcohol TV or porn

you're never going to solve this problem

because guess what your machine isn't

even turned on the second mistake that

people make is that they try solving

unsolvable problems there's certain

problems your problem-solving machine

cannot solve there's simply no correct

answer for example let's say that you're

in a toxic relationship you've been

together for a long time but things have

been sour for a while there's arguments

break up getting back together

manipulation lack of trust you spend so

much time worrying about how to fix the

relationship when in reality it might be

something that you can't really solve

sometimes there's simply nothing you can

do to fix something and it's best to

just walk away another example of an

unsolvable problem is trying to go back

in time to fix something many of us

spend large periods of time

ruminating about the past oh I should

have done this in high school or oh I

should have said this to so-and-so when

you do this you're telling a

problem-solving machine to solve this

problem but it

it's not possible there's no way you can

go back in time and solve it

so in the end you're just wasting more

time the third mistake is that people

give their brain problems that

contradict each other i would say that

this is actually the number one most

detrimental mistake that people make

because it's something that flies under

the radar

let's say for example you want to be in

a relationship you think about it all

the time but at the same time you spend

time thinking about why you don't

deserve to be in a relationship

most people who are single who really

really really want to be in a

relationship

don't think they're attractive or doubt

their abilities to court a member of the

opposite sex

so in this case you're telling a

problem-solving machine to do two things

number one looks for ways to get into a

relationship number to look for proof

that i will never be in a relationship

the solution to the second problem

negates the solution to the first

problem in order to find proof that

you'll never be in a relationship will

start acting in a way that will make it

so that you won't be in a relationship

another example of this is very present

in my group of childhood friends they

all say they want to own their own

business and make a ton of money but at

the same time they don't believe taking

risk is safe nor possible so in this

case they're telling their

problem-solving machine to solve two

problems number one look for ways to

start a business and make a ton of money

number to look for proof that taking

risk is not face nor possible again your

brain is unable to solve problem one

when it's looking for answers to problem

two because if you're looking for proof

that risk is not possible you're going

to skip over every opportunity that

could eventually grown into a thriving

business

the fourth and final problem people make

is that they don't give their brain

enough time to solve a problem let's say

your goal is to build a six-figure

business realistic even if you knew

exactly what to do

how long do you think that would take

you even the smartest and brightest

would have to work for at least a year

or two in order to accomplish this goal

from nothing but you're not the smartest

you're not the brightest you don't know

what to do

so that means they'll take you anywhere

from two to maybe even 10 years of

constantly asking your problem-solving

machine to solve this problem in order

to solve the problem people are very

impatient they think okay law of

attraction

I'll think about my six-figure business

really hard for like a week or a month

but if you ask any successful business

owner

the first model business was like the

answer is well it usually sucked really

bad but the reason they succeed is that

they continue to ask the problem-solving

machine to solve this problem as long as

it takes until it's solved it

the key to making the law of attraction

work for you really comes down to your

ability to turn on your problem-solving

machine constantly ask it to solve one

problem to clear your mind of any other

problems that would contradict that one

problem and to make sure that you're

asking a problem that can be solved

that's why although all this magic will

talk about thinking and envisioning your

goals

sounds like bullshit it's actually very

powerful and effective because when you

envision a goal and you're thinking

about it all the time you're telling

your problem-solving machine i want that

so let's get to work and that's it

it's simple!
