Like a number of people perhaps you have been introduced to The Law of Attraction and maybe you have tried it a few times and maybe it has worked for you a little or maybe not at all.
Your friends and relatives are members of the misery loves company crowd and they either tell you that they do not believe in "that stuff" or that they tried it a couple of times and it didn't work for them so they gave it up.
One of the problems that exists in the world today is that people have become accustomed to dealing in the physical world and have decided to play the game of life according to someone else's programming and parameters, even to the point of occasionally finding cheats that make them seem better than they really are at the game and then they get to the end and get the game over sign and they are done.
These people of lost sight of and learned to ignore their non-physical self and given up the spiritual aspects of their lives.
Ask yourself what is the purpose behind what you wish for or desire to attract.
Is it to make your friends, neighbors and relatives jealous or envious? If this is your motivation, you are probably not going to be very successful.
How about wanting more abundance in all aspects of your life so that you can make a better life for your family and provide assistance to those who need help in the world.
Think of all the worthy causes you might assist.
Wouldn't that feel better than the first motivation mentioned above? The other important aspect of attracting is your affirmations should not be stated just the one or two times you may have previously attempted them.
They need to be repeated.
It also helps to write them down and re-read them, numerous times.
This is just part of the process, there is more to learn about the power of the law of attraction.
