Law of Attraction—A rather peculiar law
It doesn't work the way you think it does
A lot has been said about the Law of Attraction. Some right, some woefully wrong. Here we are gonna discover a variety of things that comes in the vicinity of this law - from the secret to Law of Attraction - if Law of Attraction is real or not - why the Law of Attraction hasn't been working for you and how to make it work, the right way.
We say a lot of things. Listen to your inner voice, listen to your heart but nobody quite taught us how exactly to do that.
How can one identify what kind of desires are good for you and your life? Should we evaluate all those desires based on thoughts, feelings, or emotions? Or something else? The whole world screams on top of their lungs to believe in themselves. But what exactly is a belief and how does one do that? So, let's get to the crux of all those queries.
FLEXIBILITY - Need of the Hour
Before diving into the article, first, allow me to quote 'Tao Te Ching':
"When he is born, man is soft and weak; in death, he becomes stiff and hard. Truly what is stiff and hard is the companion of death, what is soft and weak is the companion of life."
One gotta be flexible to actually live life. And flexible not in just terms of your body, but terms of your mind, thinking, and beliefs. Be open to change your beliefs. Be open to accept you were wrong. I know it seems pretty hard to come down the ladder of ego we have been climbing, but hey, that's what flexibility is all about.
The Hole in the Law
So now, let me first tell you that I was a strong believer in the law of attraction. I used to think that one can surely attract houses, cars, money, bungalow, and what not using this law when I first heard about it.
But what happened one day made me question this law and the way we all think about it. One of my friends told me that he won big time in a casino using the law of attraction. He was playing roulette and he focused his mind on the number 1. Then he placed a bet of $100 on number 1 and lost. He did it again, lost again. And again. And again. He kept on losing 10 times in a row, and won the 11th time, making $2500 in profits. (Bet: 35:1)
As he won the 11th time his belief grew astronomically.
He kept on going and going, and the next time made a profit of $1500, and like that he made a total profit of more than $13,500 that night. Now, he has blind faith that the law of attraction can make him a millionaire the next time he plays.
This got me to thinking if the law can attract cars, money, and what not, why can't it attract a simple number in a casino?
On digging deeper into this, I found out that no one can actually beat a casino in the long run. They practice the law of probability, which is always in their favor, which is why they are in the business in the first place.
So now, in the short term, it may look like my sweet friend can beat the casino, but actually, that's how a gambler takes birth. It's less probable for someone, who initially loses in a casino, to go back and play again. People like my friend are actually the main income generator of casinos. They know that when someone wins in a casino, then that winning will lure them back into the casino to play bigger than before, and that's where the law of probability will kick in to help the casinos make their money back.
