Hey, you know what? All hoopla aside, I like the LOA. And why not? It’s a cool idea, and if the choice is between focusing my mind on things I want versus focusing on things I don’t want, I’d rather spend my mental energy on things I want.

But here’s the question: Is “just” thinking, and emoting, and visualizing, and meditating, and yes, praying, about things I want going to bring them into my life?

LOA gurus say yes and offer proof like a garage full of fast cars, a big house, weight loss…

I don’t believe it.

If all you do is think, emote, visualize, meditate and pray, you may feel better, but all by themselves, those things aren’t going to make your house bigger or your cars faster.  And if you think about being thin, and keep eating, well, as they say, the proof IS in the pudding…

If it did work, everyone reading The Secret would be rich. And while a few are, most are not.

But here’s what does happen…

When you sharply focus your internal self on what you want as directed by the LOA, you are going to see many subtle things you might otherwise have missed. You’ll also see some obvious things your previous blinders kept from view.

It’s also going to help you stop sabotaging yourself in whatever ways you’ve spent a lifetime mastering. (Everyone’s an expert at their own version of this.)

It may even make you more “attractive” to people who can help you, because you’ve become a more positive, pleasant, less whiny person to be around, and perhaps more fun, besides.

In all these ways, practicing the law of attraction can make a huge difference.

But here’s one more very important point…

You see, in the physical world, where most of us live, if you want something to happen, you’ve got to move things around. Whether it’s atoms or bits, things still have to move around.  And that takes action.

The good news is that your LOA-driven focus can to cause you to DO THINGS, large and small, that you otherwise might have delayed, or blown off entirely, or done badly, which you will now do well. In other words, your LOA mindset can cause you to TAKE ACTION. And not only any action, but the right action. FOCUSED ACTION.

Is there something spiritual at work here? I can’t say, I’m not an expert. But I can tell you this: If you don’t have that last bit – the part about taking focused action?  Not much is going to happen.

But if you consistently take Focused Action, doing the right things, day in and day out, you can make miracles happen.

So I’ve a proposal.  The Law of Attraction is fine, but if you want really want to heat up your business and your life, apply the Law of Focused Action.

Be Unreasonable.  Sharpen your mental focus using LOA.  Then put the Law of Focused Action to work. Get busy with the things that will make a difference. Now.

P.S.  My apologies to anyone else who’s written recently about any similar subject.  When a lot of great minds think alike, that’s the LOA in action. Right?
