The Law of Attraction
The soul attracts that which it secretly harbors;
that which it loves, and also that which it fears.
– James Allen: writer and poet
By now most people have seen or heard of the The Secret which was original released as a video and his now a book. The basic premise of The Secret is the concept of the Law of Attraction. The Law of Attraction states that we attract into our lives that which we think about, whether it be positive or negative; we create the events and the conditions of the world in which we live in.
This is not a new concept. Many of today’s success philosophies have come from the Bible, James Allen’s As a Man Thinketh, and Napoleon Hill’s classic, Think and Grow Rich. In fact, Allen’s title came from the passage in the Bible, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” (Proverbs 23:7).
Allen wrote As a Man Thinketh around 1904 and Hill wrote Think and Grow Rich in 1937. This philosophy of success, that we attract into our lives that which we think about and desire in our hearts, has been around for a long time. It just continues to be repackaged and delivered by more charismatic success gurus.
It’s really a simple, yet powerful and effective, principle that doesn’t require you to spend thousands of dollars to learn and apply in your life. Nightingale Conant has an excellent Napoleon Hill program for under $40.00.
If you learn and apply the principles in this program, your life will change.
