Why the Law of Attraction Can Fail
Exploring false thinking and behaviors that sabotage the process
I’ve written about the Law of Attraction several times and have been a dedicated student for years. Although I write on the subject, I am not an expert. I still find it to be an ongoing challenge, one that’s both fascinating and confusing. I share my take on it as I continue my learning journey.
As a spiritual person, I was taught (through various teachings) to detach from material wealth and focus on inner growth to enhance joy. Yet, as physical beings, we have desires, needs, and dreams we want to manifest. This, too, can give us joy, albeit temporarily.
The physical world and spiritual world- feel separate but are connected.
Balancing these two aspects can feel like a contradiction, leaving us wondering why the Law of Attraction sometimes seems to work and other times leaves us frustrated.
In this article, I’ll discuss the several reasons I believe the Law of Attraction seems to fail—or, more accurately, how our expectations and behaviors may be causing delays in manifesting what we desire.
