What To Do When the Law of Attraction Doesn’t Work

by Joe Vitale on March 2, 2009

I hear this complaint from time to time–

“I like your books and I like the movie The Secret but the truth is, none of it works for me.”

Have you heard that before?

Have you maybe even said that before?

So what’s the truth?

Does the Law of Attraction (LOA) work or not?

Do all these “feel good” books and movies actually work or not?

Why do they seem to work for hundreds of thousands of people but not for you?

Let’s explore this. 

Consider…

If you drop a ball from the roof of a building, does gravity or your letting go make it drop?

Think about it.

When you toss a horseshoe, what makes it land on the other side: gravity or your toss?

Well?

Which is it?

Gravity or your action?

When a baseball player hits a ball out of the park, what made it fly and then fall: his swing or gravity?

Which was it?

Was it the swing at the ball that sent it into space, or gravity pulling it down after he hit it?

Obviously, it’s both.

It’s the same with LOA.

When anything happens in your life, you can say it was LOA that made it so or you can attribute the result to some other cause and pretend LOA doesn’t exist or doesn’t work.

You can even say, “I don’t believe in LOA.”

You can even say, “LOA doesn’t work for me.”

It’s your choice.

But what’s the truth?

What’s real?

What’s most helpful?

Look at it this way:

Why do most sports coaches tell their players about the laws of physics?

The coach believes the more you know about what is happening when you are playing the game, the more you will be conscious and will work with those laws of physics to win the game.

For example, I’ve recently begun racing my exotic sports cars. While I could just get behind the wheel and drive, the trainers teach me about geometry and physics so I have a better understanding about how to successfully drive the car at high speed.

In short, they want me to know about all the laws at play so I can accomplish my goals better.

That makes sense, doesn’t it?

The idea is to become more awake and aware so I can get more of the results I prefer, even on the race track.

The same is true in the gym.

I’ve trained with Frank Zane, Scott York and others. These athletes don’t just tell me to sweat more or lift more. They also teach me to be aware of gravity, for example, because working with it can help increase muscle mass.

Are you starting to get the picture?

The Law of Attraction is the same as the Law of Gravity or any other law: it’s working whether you give it credit or not. Knowing about it can help you achieve the results you want.

In other words, if you’re one of those who say LOA doesn’t work for you, then you might as well say gravity doesn’t work for you, either.

LOA is always working.

Gravity is always working.

That’s why they are both laws.

You can dismiss either or both if you like.

But does doing so help you or limit you?

If I can become a better driver by knowing the invisible laws at work when I race, and I can get better results in the gym with an understanding of the universal laws at work, and a sports figure can achieve his or her goals better by knowing the hidden laws underneath the game, doesn’t it behoove you to know about the other laws operating in your own life?

Given the above, what can you actually DO to get better results in your life – even when the Law of Attraction doesn’t seem to be working for you?

Here are five things:

First, quit shrugging off your power.

LOA is working and you are working it, probably unconsciously. Instead of saying it doesn’t work for you, own that it does. This is far more empowering than being a victim. Assume you are doing something inside yourself to attract the results you are getting. It all begins with accepting responsibility for your life.

Second, choose what you want.

Instead of being bounced around by circumstances, start to direct or at least request where you want to go. You turn your inner radar on when you make a decision. You begin to steer the ship. Intention helps align your body and mind to go in the direction you prefer.

Third, take action.

Nothing happens until something moves. As I’ve said many times, the universe likes speed. Money likes speed. Take inspired action ASAP. It’ll give you instant feedback and instant results. As your actions bring you new information, you then take new actions based on it.

Fourth, get clear.

I’m constantly saying that you must get clear of the limiting beliefs within you in order to attract your intention. Counter-intentions will always trip you up. Be aware of your thoughts when things don’t work out for you. Those are what you need to get clear of. Those are the beliefs that attracted what you got. How do you get clear? One easy way is through Zero Limits.

Fifth, be happy now.

Happiness is what you really want. Be happy now and you’ll have your ultimate goal and you’ll send out a vibe to attract more moments to be happy about. The best way to be happy now is to be grateful now. My hypnotic story about the pencil in the movie The Compass is a great reminder of the power of gratitude.

I’m a neurometaphysician. I created the new science of neurometaphysics.

I’m a neurometaphysician. I created the field of neurometaphysics. This goes beyond neuroscience, which is the study of how your nervous system affects your life. Neurometaphysics is the science of how your thoughts create your life.

Obviously, I can talk about and teach the deeper aspects of the LOA for hours. But I don’t need to go into deeper explanations here when I’ve written such books as The Attractor Factor, The Key and Expect Miracles; and recorded such audioprograms as The Missing Secret, The Awakening Course, and the brand-new record-breaking bestseller, The Secret to Attracting Money.

And if you want ongoing personal support, I also created an online community to help you achieve your goals at www.attractmiracles.com 

The point here is this: LOA is always working.

If that’s so, how are you attracting what you are getting (or not getting)?

It’s deeper than your conscious thoughts.

But it’s not hidden.

Look and ye shall find.

Ask and ye shall receive.

Follow the above five steps and — Expect Miracles.

Ao Akua,

PS — The Secret to Attracting Money explores all of this thinking, and more. It is a spiritual and practical system for attracting money. It goes beyond the Law of Attraction. It builds on and goes beyond anything I’ve ever done before. It’s guaranteed to work, too. See www.thesecrettoattractingmoney.com

I know the law of attraction works, I have seen it. I get dreams that also come true and they where pretty freaky. But there are also times when I get a need to do something and go and do it and nothing comes of it. What are those? I have always been faithful to the promptings. I believe in gratitude and practice it and I have really been forgiving and loving in my life. But still when i do not feel well I can’t help but suspect that those moments might be limiting the flood that I should be seeing. Like I said the dreams come all the time and I have yet to not seen them come true. However, there seems to be a lot of pain that has to be done before they happen.

In the end it always the fault of
our limited beliefs.

Get clear, let it go, feel free and cherish
your new beliefs that propel you to your
ideal life.

LOA works if we believe in it to the point
that u say ” See, ive told you before, i can
feel it “. Thats it.

Dont compare LOA with gravity, lung and etc.

Just accept it. You can only experience it if you
put enough focus,energy and openness of it.

Brilliant post Joe!

Hey Joe,

I just finished listening to your Zero Limits audio. I have to say, it is awesome.

Thank you for writing and sharing it with the world, and especially thank you for your perseverance in tracking down the ‘mysterious’ person!!

God bless you and yours.

I Love how Joe makes everything sound so simple in life..i haveseen teh movie The SECRET so many times.. i have experienced LOA working for me but the ones who say that it doesnt work ,are the one who actually are concentarting on “What they don’t want” from life….. i can say this confidently because i have experienced this.. Sometimes my mind deviates and its starts concentarting on what i don want , and when i get what i did not wish for, i again realise that the LOA worked but it was me who was applying in a wrong way…. That is where we all need to concentrate and realise the Existence of LOA>>>> Love you JOE…..

what is the math behind the LOA? i ask because it was compared to gravity, and since gravity is 100% supported and explained by math, i figured LOA might be as well. what does the math look like? thanks

Yes, Joe, I am fascinated by neurometaphysics. I would love to hear more. I am also a member of your attractmiracles site. The information there is wonderful. Thank you so much for all you do.

I’m sorry. Please forgive me. I thank you. I love you.

Hi Joe, my favourite person

Thanks for shedding more detailed light on the Law of Attraction. It has been for the longest time a Law that has been rather difficult to apply.

Thanks again, Joe and God bless

Hi Joe,

Great post. I agree with all the points listed and I like the sports analogy.

I would love to put this in my monthly newsletter. Please let me know if you are OK with that.

Still wondering if anyone have any insights at all into the math behind this “law?” I just don’t understand how it can be compared to gravity without offering any math as means of explanation. Gravity is a mathematical concept. If the LOA is like gravity, then where’s the math? Otherwise it shouldn’t be considered a law, but rather simply an idea. still searching for some explanations about the connection between LOA and gravity other than just saying that they’re both laws because you say so. thanks

I am totally convinced with the LOA and its operation.

But one thing I would like to seek clarification is about the action to be taken for attracting wealth. I have understood the principles, the methodology of Wealth attraction but as an employee of a company, I would like to know what action needs to be taken to attract wealth. Please bear in mind that I am only an employee.

It’s all about taking responsibility to change ourself and to learn about these laws since Law of Attraction is not the only law. Very good article… thanks for sharing, Joe. :)

Hello Dr. Vitale:

I am so thankful that people like you exist. I never imagined to learn so much in such little time from you. I purchased the book “The Secret” and saw the movie as well. When I watched the movie, although everyone exercised a tremendous participation, in my opinion, you were the one individual that caught my attention. You have a clarity of expression and explaining circumstances that get right to the point.
I identify myself with many things that you mention in “The Missing Secret” as well. I recently purchased this material and am really enjoying it. Although the DVD kind of cuts off sometimes, I am not sure if it was a reproduction defect. This is a miraculous piece of information.

I am so grateful that the Divine has given me the privilege to come across your material. I was undergoing a state of depression, and not enjoying my life as I used to after giving birth to my second child, as well as losing my job and facing foreclosure. After reading the book “The Secret”, watching the movie, reading and listening to the material provided in The Missing Secret, my life has improved approximately 75%(since I learned of your materials only 1 month ago). I am still waiting for the divine to resolve all my issues, including my foreclosure matters, but my faith and gut tells me that this solution is on its way. I just have to be patient and take action for improving my life. I have taken the first step which has changed my feelings, thoughts and emotions. It has even changed the way I feel about everyone around me. I wish all I could do for a month is read all your material.

Also, is this material in Spanish. I would love to tell my family members about this, but they do not understand English that well. In order for me to translate this for them, I guess I’ll have to have The Missing Secret Party. How about the rest of the non English speaking population? You shall really consider translating it into Spanish. Please let me know if I can assist, I am fluent in Spanish. I can speak, read and write in Spanish.

Dr. Vitale, thank you for changing my life. This is just the beginning of a new life filled with prosperity and abundance for me. I have no words to describe the excitement I have and how grateful I feel of your existence. Now let me say good bye with my favorite exercise from The Missing Secret, I AM SORRY, if I have taken five minutes of your time to read this e-mail. PLEASE FORGIVE ME, for loving your material. THANK YOU for clarifying my hidden thoughts and changing my life.
I LOVE YOU for creating this enriching jewel of material. MAY GOD BLESS YOU EVERY SECOND OF YOUR LIFE!!!

Thanks again for your precious time.

Respectfully,

Alexa

Dear Dr. Joe Vitale

Our nerveous system operates using electricity and i have attempted to link the LOA to the thought process. However i cannot make the connection between the frequencies of the brain and the “things i want”. I do find it very arrogant of you to call it a law, as opposed to theory.

P.S i enjoyed the movie very much, and hope to hear more about the LOA.

I have your CD set, The Missing Secret. I have listened to the CD’s multiple times. For some weeks I had put the CDs aside. Then I began to feel particularly hopeless. I found The Missing Secret again and listened. The next morning I recieved a call for donations from AmVets. I felt distrbed and I knew that I must pay atttention to what I waa feeling. I felt that our veterans needed more than just a donation. That was this past Saturday. Today is Thursday and I am in the process of building a program for our returning vetereans and current veterans. I am trying to buy a ranch/farm in SW Texas at which our veterans will be trained, educated and employed. Our farm will raise dairy goats and sheep, herbs, vegetables, grapes for Texas wine, and may include raising emus and chickens. I will also have homes built for the veterans to buy. And I thank you, Joe Vitale, for teaching me to allow the flow to occur in my life. I am so grateful to you.
