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.Â
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.comÂ
The point here is this:Â 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.

LOA always works for me. Your five steps are right on point. I’m getting better and better at it. Taking inspired action is the key, I think.
Those who say that LOA doesn’t work for them- DO NOT realize it just did…
Hello!!
YES we want to know about “science of neurometaphysics!”
Thank you for all your inspired thoughts & actions you take to teach us!
LOA is always working & the tools to help get out of your own way do work
Joe, the zero limits book is fantastic; I really believe that this concept melds together so many ideas and histories. I also want to say I love you and I love all that you give to others.
Joe,
Share more about neurometaphysics.
Looking forward,
Jeff
I’ve been noticing the LOA in action since I was a kid in the 70s, particualrly the importance of letting go. I’ve also seen the effect of environment & other people’s intentions in bolloxing up a person’s intentions–both accidentally and intentionally. I never see anyone discuss that part of it, though. What happens if my intentions come into conflict with someone else’s?
For me remembering to be happy is soooo important. It sounds daft when I say I forget to be happy but it dawned on me the other day that I was so busy doing that I had forgotten who I was being!
Thanks for the list Joe, it’s a good reminder of how to receive what we desire.
Regards,
Karen
Hi Joe I like to kno more about neurometaphysics.
Thank you
You are right on the spot and your book the Key brought me a lot closer to attracting what I want in my likfe And yes it works I am hapopy all the time.
Thanks again,

I have seen results of LOA, I attracted a pair of boots I wanted, I attracted a pair of jeans I have wanted, a car detailing, and of course money…. but money is the hardest for me, I can’t seem to do it all the time and I am still struggling, I keep forgetting that I have the power to transform my mood from just ok and content to positivity and magnetism. That even when I am not up to par I am still attracting. I’ll have to change this today! : ) Thanks for the reminder Joe!
im getting alot of different inspired ideas lately Im excited to take action toward my own experience of LIVING!
…..as if the universe is in constant devotion to what i want to experience in my life
I have been fulfilled graciously and I am divinely grateful and bound to
the Positivity, amazing experiences and genuine people that flow into my life.
Joe
I think that you have done a great deal to influence my life and i look forward to someday meeting you
Thank you,
Eric~
Yes….the idea of neurometaphisics is a Great one!!! I LOVE IT. Tell us more. (and don’t hesitate to let us help along the way! I have been writing along these lines all day so when I read your post it made me smile broadly. Good for you!
I have heard that the universe likes speed and that money likes speed. Are there any scientific writings on this subject? I, too, am very interested to learn more about neurometaphysics. Thank you kindly for your excellent advice!
Hello Joe,
I love your Gravity and Action analogy – great reminder!
Barry
Hello Joe,
I to am having a problem of staying focused. I know I am going to obtain wealth. The book “The Secret ” has changed my life. I am a fifty year old high school drop out. Recently I returned to college even though I am a successful Certified Executive Chef. I want to teach children how to eat healthy, and stay healthy doing martial arts. How can I speed up the process? College will take me years. Thanks for being an aspiration. Charles Corbett CEC
Joe, I love what you are saying and it really hit home with me because I had just used the example of gravity (as I write my new book about the Option Method) to illustrate how we determine what is true and act accordingly, even with laws of nature. I find again and again that examples related to physics (and biology) bubble up again and again as I talk about the connection between unhappiness and beliefs. I’d love to hear more about neurometaphysics!
Thanks for the reminder. LOA is like fall in parachute, gravity is working but you decide where to land -or do nothing and let the wind drives you.
Please more inspiring articles in this blog and more information about Neurometaphisics
Sorry my English
I love you, Thank you, I’m sorry, please Forgive me:mrgreen:
Hi Joe, well ive been inspired and your books have really given me the tools yes LOA. I understand that had to learn, be empowred all this ws attracted t me. am achieving my dreams and my goals I know I have along ay to go. I am happy and today the LOA working – all day from last night i said me and the kids to day is a wonderful day and this will be 1 of the best days of my life and it has been fantastic! tomorrow i say wow – tomorrow will be a fantastic day another rgreatest day of my life i cannot wait for tommorow . Thanks Joe . I love the LOA I love All in yhis UNIVERSE!
but I a ho
Joe,
This reminded me of the saying, “If you think you can, you’re right. If you think you can’t, you’re right.” The LOA doesn’t work for people who think it doesn’t work because they think it doesn’t work.
Great synopsis of the five points. All are right on target.
Thanks.
Steve
Hi Joe,
Thanks for posting this, this post reminds us all of how to stay focused!! I have just ordered “The Secret to Attracting Money” and am eagerly waiting it’s arrival. I have started my own blog, “http://hollyisattractingmoney.blogspot.com/” and it will track my journey through your program. I feel that I am ready to beging and clear as to what I want from life. I look forward to any comments anyone has and sharing my journey. I love you,
Holly
Clearing is the key!
Zero Limits is amazing. It inspired me to pick up the Qur’an which has changed my life. Have you read it Joe?
peace
Luke
Exactamundo, Joe! I don’t always get what I want, but I ALWAYS get what I expect–which is what I create and attract.
You can’t have “attrACTION” without “action”!
joe…i always look forward to your pearls of wisdom…..
Joe,
Thanks for this post. I can never hear this enough. It helps me stay focused. I’d love to learn more about the science of neurometaphysics.
I love you and all your work.
Paula
thanx Joe
I would love to hear more about the science of neurometaphysics. Is it anything like quantum physics?Thank you for your constant freebeez, they are always helpful and/or uplifting.
I am so very grateful for your bloodhound /journerlistic persistence to find out about Dr Hew Len .I am so moved by Ho-oponopono.
Do you have any C.D.or DVDs on Ho-oponopono?
I have read Zero Limits several times,love it!
Please can you tell me how can I write to Dr Hew Len
Joe, do you know of anyone teaching Ho-oponopono in Australia?
I so want to learn, I have Jennifer McLean’s CDs on it.
wishing you joy beyond your understanding
love,light & laughter

Hi Joe,
What a great article! I love the analogies that you have used here. As well as being a Life Coach I’m also a Fitness Instructor. When I teach I too explain the rationale behind my method of teaching although not necessarily at the time. Sometimes, I like to guide my clients/students so that they can work out for themselves how their body should be responding under certain conditions.
Nonetheless, regardless of the method I use in my teaching I aim to instil a greater understanding of body mechanics, etc. because I know that they will gain more from the experience and progress faster. They also learn how some very challenging movements can be performed in a manner that may not be effortless but certainly graceful and fluid.
Similarly, the more we learn how to master the Law of Attraction, the more effortlessly we will be able to attract what we desire in life.
Best wishes

Neuromethaphysics.. cool term..
It is soooooo true about getting clear, you have to become certain, as certain as a rock in what you want and the belief you have it or doing it.. it’s the only way.. And in the beginning you have to do it over and over again..
Like jumping a flick flack or salto, either on the mat or the balance (10cm wide & 120 cm high for competitions) for the first time by yourself.. You’ve done it over and over again with the help of your coach. You know you can do it, easily with only the touch of 1 finger..
But doing it the first time entirely by yourself ends up, atleast with me and several others I’ve seen doing this, in a block up.. You start, you make a very fast forward movement, you’re still knowing you can do this…, and then.. you totally block.. precisely at the moment you’re about to do the flickflack or salto..
It will happen time after time, untill you loose the belief you can’t, you have to get blanco & clear about it and embrace the full belief and knowing you can.. Then you go.. you do it alone and by yourself.. and when you did it.. You have this burst of energy that makes you do it over and over again to perfectionize your flick flack or salto.. and the next great big movement you want to learn is your next goal, your next level..
I’m so Truly Happy I learned to be a gymnast, that I learned to go through my comfort zones so many times that it’s habitual to go through , I would not have wanted to miss that.. I learned to be Great when I was Little.. and I learned to be Humble and Obiedient to the Universal Laws.. Because they are around and they are working, always.. Period.
Love, Light & a Lot of Laughter

Yes, I would like to hear more about the science of neurometaphysics.
I absolutely want to learn more about neurometaphysics!Thanks Joe!
Thank you, Joe, for all your insights and inspiration. I really appreciate the way in which you integrate so many different concepts and philosophies into your thinking. I would be very interested in hearing more about neurometaphysics.
Thank you Joe for being here, for being you, and for loving us!
Than you for being you, being here, and loving us!
Good metaphors there with racing cars and weight lifting. Takes a bit of knowledge and practice to master anything of value…
I know that on certain occasions when I have changed my attitude towards either doing something or expecting something to happen for me; amazingly it has.
I’m going to consciously try to follow these fives rules consistently everyday and I expect to see some quantifiable benefits.
Dear Joe,
I perfectly understand now the reason why you got a standing ovation for recently sharing this wisdom of yours with a live audience.
Thanks for reminding us (and me!) about these five steps to get better results in our lives. Trust that I will have these five steps transcribed on a piece of paper, which I will post on my computer as a constant reminder of this wisdom.
On top of that, I have read both “The Key” and “The Attractor Factor”, books that I highly recommend to anyone interested by the LOA topic.
Warmly,
Chantal
Salve,
chiedo se “Il segreto per attirare un numero di denaro” (CD, DVD ecc.)
è tradotto in lingua ITALIANA.
Se così non fosse…prego il Signor Joe Vitale di pensarci e di accontentare
e far conoscere il suo lavoro anche a noi in lingua Italiana.
Ringrazio di cuore
CordialitÃ

I think the best way to sum this post up is by saying:
THE LAW OF ATTRACTION ALWAYS WORKS. IT’S JUST A MATTER OF WHETHER OR NOT YOU REALIZE IT…
Henry Ford once said something along the lines of, “whether you think you’ll fail, or whether you think you’ll succeed… either way… you’re right!”
Every thought that passes through our minds is an object. It may not have definitive shape, size, mass, weight, or form… but it’s still an object nonetheless.
The LOA is simply a governance to help us realize & respect the power of our thoughts. I think in this post you help those who are reluctant to fully reform themselves to obey this law, realize it’s importance.
Joe,
I have send a mail to you. I’m comin from Belgium (near France).
I speak french, so sorry for my bad english.
I see a true friend and a “master” in you.
Thank you for all your works, you have really changed my life.
I read books every day, but you “inspire” me the most.
I respect you
Joe,
Your work is fantastic. Go on.
You inspire me.
I’d like to reply to post #6 by Jeff –
.”..What happens if my intentions come into conflict with someone else’s?”
2 years ago I broke up with my long time gf. We both had been deeply hurt by our troubled relationship. I hit rock bottom emotionally, mentally but the painful experience awoke my ’soul’. That tends to happens when your ego gets ‘pummeled to the ground’ forcing you to completely ’surrender’ to life.
Have to say that this most painful period of my life was also my most rewarding.
Anyhoo listening to my innerself I realized that I indeed wanted to settle down with my gf. I also knew that some changes(painful as it were) that occured within myself now can make the relationship work. It was all necessary and part of the plan. The universe was indeed serving me whether I understood it or not.
At this point, on the surface it seemed TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE to settle down with her. She seemed deeply in love with someone else, completely lost faith in me PLUS her family and close friends despised me. I did manage to maintain communication with her but it was clear that she felt that the likelihood of us getting together was impossible.
Yet spiritually I felt I can have it if that is what I truly wanted. Everything will be alright. No conflicts. No one will get hurt and everything will fall perfectly into place. That was my deep belief. Everything will sort itself out nicely.
This is precisely what happened. We are both blissfully married now and expecting our first child. The guy that she was deeply into somehow willingly withdrew out of the relationship with her, which convinced her that he wasn’t worth it despite him being a superb guy. He was happy for both our newfound happiness. Her family and friends turned around and loved me.
There is no ‘OUTSIDE’. My experience all orginate within me. Because of this there ARE NO ‘VICTIMS’, spiritually speaking. It’s all me. I’m making up all my experiences and ‘experiencing’ the experience(good and bad) is what something very deep inside me wants I think. I’m not really ‘here’ but actually I’m sort of very actively participating in the universe’s MOST ADVANCED VIRTUAL REALITY PROGRAM. I therefore can relate very well to Dr Vitale’s book ZERO LIMITS. This ‘GAME’ is so REAL I sometimes have to remind myself what it really is. It doesn’t make me take life and people for granted. In fact it makes me want to PLAY THE GAME really well, being more aware and positively affecting things and people around me.
My painful episode gave me just a ‘hint’ of what this universe really is. People like Dr Vitale and his peers are just so much higher in awareness. I can only imagine how delicious it might be for them to be walking this planet.
I tell you every moment and ‘things’; it’s mere existence feels miraculous. Sometimes I imagine that when my time is up I will look back an incredibly miss the earthly expereince, the air, the room, the laptop, the sun, the skin, the emotions. Thinking that way makes you savour every moment of the NOW. Even as I stood waiting inline yesterday buying Fried Chicken. In those ‘dull’ moments look around you.. notice the people, the ’stuff’ as mundane as a straw seems.. feel it.. everything around you is miraculous. Sometimes you can almost ‘feel’ the air, the trees etc acknowledge YOUR acknowledgement and blissful gratitude of what IS.
I hope everyone gets to enjoy this.
Joe invented many things more than supreme being Ohoh Joe got ability from supreme being Is Joe using ability Go Joe Go Make money Joe very very important
Hello Joe
First of all I want to say that my mother tongue is Spanish, so I hope you can forgive my mistakes in this text…
I have health issues since more-less 6 months and Im desperate. I’ve just read the book “Zero Limits” and I find it amazing. Since one week I’ve been practising the phrase “I’m sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I love you” it helped me but I think not enough. It would be wonderful if I get more information about the ways of cleanning. I know that more tools for cleanning are taught in the Hooponopono Workshop but for me it’s too expensive and far. Even the language will not help me. I think my English is not enough for a workshop and Im actually in Germany (and my German is not enough too)…
So I hope you or someone can help me
Thanks a lot
Patricia
Thanks, Joe! These things cannot be said too often! And you have a cool way of saying them!!
The LOA is always working because all atoms and cells communicate at the same time . When you have a thought. These thoughts actually create particles. These particles attract like particles. There was an experiment that showed even particles of water are attracted to each other when separated. So weather someone believes it or not, there is proof of the LOA. Thanks Joe!
Beautiful article as always…
Beautiful article as always!
The law of attraction works in exactly the same way as your lungs take in air, naturally without stress or effort. Trouble is we humans try to force the LOA to work in our favour and are invariable disappointed with the results. Most people chase a lump sum of money but that will never get the LOA working in their favour. Just as Joe says; just like gravity it is there all of the time working all of the time but it is not obvious until you take some form of action to prove it. If you lie in bed all day you will seldom witness the law of gravity but as soon as you move (take action) it springs into reality so it is with the Law of Attraction.- We seldom think of what we have but always of what we lack.
Joe I just wanted to say how much reading the attractor factor has opened up a block I wasn’t even aware I had. I cannot tell you what happened or how it happened, just simply reading the book did something. The night after reading it and every day since I am on a continuous cycle of Dinvinly inspired information, I can barely keep up with the writing it down and or sketching things. Color everywhere! Even the way my message work is received is changing, the Universe does like speed! Something shifted inside of me also, I no longer feel off balance all because I read attractor factor and gained clarity on manifesting – I literally felt the moment of the difference between ego and divine – everything has now come together for me. Thank you so much! I am also using “hopo”. I also am a Realtor and things are changing there also. Amazing. Thank you. Much Love, Trish.
So, all you have to do is pretend so hard until you can pretend that you’re not pretending.
I have a hard time making LOA work for me. Whenever I try to concentrate on getting something good my Pink Unicorn pet always distracts me. Not to mention the green elves that tickle me feet.
Please HELP becuase I REALLLLLLLY want LOA to work.
Thank you Joe! LOA definitely does work, like you say it’s inevitable like water flowing down a hill. In my own life I have attracted so many things, I have attracted myself a laptop and a new girlfriend in the last year! Amazing. Unfortunately recently my doctor has told me that I have had an anurysm and that drugs are needed which I cannot afford. Luckily instead of working for the money I have the secret and I will try attracting the medicine I need. like gravity pulling the tides. Sharing your knowledge of neurometaphysics would help so much in this!! Like many others I am also using “hopo”. Love to you and all Jamie
