If you’ve been around the internet in the last few years like I have you may have run into something called the law of attraction or LOA as it is sometimes called.

It is promoted as a way of obtaining all the good things you want by “manifesting” them into your life from the “abundant Universe”.

It got to be a really big deal a few years ago when the movie “the Secret” was released on-line and attracted enough paying viewers to make its producers wealthy to the power of 10.

But I think now it looks like the game is changing.

I was checking out some of the personal development blogs today and I came across another one of those sales pages for a typical law of attraction product.

You know the ones I mean?

They always have pretty much the same elements in them as their competitors do. In a way I can understand why. After all there are certain basic things you must do to have a successful sales page. That’s just marketing and I understand that.

What I find interesting is that it looks like the LOA thing may be suffering from over exposure. I noticed it because of the angle that a lot of the lesser gurus are now weaving into their offers. They’re all attacking and blaming other nameless gurus for purposely leaving out some important element of the L.O.A. teaching that is exposing all of us that bought their info products to massive failure and frustration.

Of course they have had an insight that is going fix the problem. We just have to plunk down another couple hundred for a copy of their new LOA audio home study course and all will be well in our lives.

It’s the old “Missing-Secret-In-The-Secret” promo.

Look, I don’t care if all the LOA venders want to copy each other into pre-existence. I’m not going to play their game. All I know is that you are a unique one of a kind human being.  One individual. Different, with differing desires and dreams. The idea that you can “pick up your copy” and it’s going to inject their wonderful ideas into your brain and change your life is ludicrous. Besides, the best books on this subject have already been written over 50 years ago by guys like Napoleon Hill, Wallace D. Wattles, and others. Most can be read free of charge with on-line downloads because they are considered in the public domain.

I’m not going to discuss here whether LOA works or it doesn’t. You can decide that for yourself.

I’m certainly not against reading great books either. I’m saying that if you think that inner-motivation is going to bubble up endlessly from a source external to you, like a book of someone else’s experience for example, then you could be in for a long wait.

Go with what successful people do. Dig down and find your passion and then follow it to the ends of the earth if you have to. That's what Andrew Carnegie charged a young Napoleon Hill to do back in 1908 and we’re still reading his work today.

You are not a copy. You are an original.

You really don’t need to buy a “copy” either. What you need is a simple but structured way of pulling up the little victories that have made you overcome difficulties in your own life and are woven into the fabric of your memory. You locate those and you'll find the motivation that caused them to come into existence. Then you compile that into a single document.

Now there's a book that  would really matter to you.

This is powerful stuff because it is based on sound long-term research that says: "Success breeds more success" but you've probably heard of that already right?

Oh, and one more thing.

Don’t waste your time and money on the offerings of the LOA copy club.

What do you think of this post? I'd love to know. Don't be a stranger. Leave me your comments below.

Thanks.
