LOA advice kind of seems backwards to me

To me LOA is not better things being attracted to you, but rather you being attracted to better things. In other words, as we change and grow we'll subtly be attracted to more positive aspects of life and will be ready to accept those things. I can remember many times in my past when I was presented with wonderful opportunities and because I wasn't ready to accept them I could never take advantage. I recognized their significance, but my current belief systems were not able to deal with their power.

I just wanted to put that out there, because I think a lot of people get the notion that good things become attracted to you, when in fact it's the opposite. You are the one seeking out this better life and these better things. I've spent the last several months using meditation, and other behavior modification modalities, and recently I've noticed that I've changed. I've changed the way I present myself, I've changed my looks (my hairstyle, the way I dress, etc.) and of course I've become more confident. I also notice that successful people want to get to know me now, since I'm now projecting a more confident person, but I had to first bring myself up to that higher level.

So my advice to anyone seeking to attract better things into their life is to only worry about yourself. Work on yourself and try to make YOU into the best person you can become. Practice mindfullness meditation, use behavior modification tools, that will change your beliefs, and most of all be patient. I just believe that the focus shouldn't be on the end goal, but rather the focus should be on YOU and the present and becoming someone able to accept something better in your life. Just make yourself better and stop worrying about the specifics of what better is. Be open to the infinite possibilities and when you're ready you'll be attracted to that better fit for your new higher, more evolved self.

The good life is out there, always has been, but you need to be ready and able to seek it out, not the other way around.

 

I would say that it's perhaps not attraction one way or the other, but rather than using the LOA techniques, you are simply improving your abaility at being aware of opportunities that will lead to those things you choose to "attract".

I think that's along the lines of what you're saying, though using different words. hehe!

the law of attraction that i study talks about making you a better you, then like attracts like and when those great things are there you feel more worthy and you attract like magnets.

 

What I have discovered with the Law of Attraction is that a person start off with wanting to obtain material things, then slowly move to taking complete responsibility of their thoughts and action. The seed has been planted that leads into merging into a more spiritual understanding which causes you to look back and release your blocks. And then you start expanding to the quantum physics level where you can better understand how your mind and heart are working in the energy field around you and then connects all living things to you as one. It first begins with you and then becomes One with all.

Being attracted to LOA in the beginning leads every one eventually to focus on their "stuff" because it is a natural progression of expansion. It's amazing to see the dramatic difference in people from when they first started to 5 or 6 years or even ten years later. The transformation occurs without even making it a goal to obtain because our focus is really on other things. It's an amazing and effortless journey! I've always said that when a person discovers LOA, there is no going back... eventually they all get it and humanity shifts.
