Perhaps you have heard about the Law of Attraction before. It's a New Age teaching that is based on the understanding that whatever you focus on, you create more of.
Are you focusing on the negative in life? You'll get more negative. Are you focusing on the positive? You'll receive more positive.
Yet, as simple as it sounds to just "think happy thoughts", we humans are a bit more complex.
It's one thing to say it, and quite another to feel it and believe it on the deepest level. This level of deep belief is where the true "attraction" occurs.
Perhaps, like me, you have come across this teaching and held both curiosity and skepticism in the same hand. Is this really true? And perhaps most importantly, how does this fit in with my Gospel beliefs? Can I really have anything I want if I just believe it strongly enough?
I have studied the Law of Attraction for years, and as much as I wanted to fully embrace it, I struggled to reconcile my Gospel beliefs into this framework.
