  • the law of attraction has become widely

  • 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!
