Millions watched the Oprah Winfrey show about "The Secret" and listened to the principals talk about it and the Law of Attraction.

Many have visited the plethora of websites devoted to "The Secret" and the Law of Attraction. It has almost become a worldwide obsession.

I am sure that millions of people have tried to follow the instructions and get the Law of Attraction to fulfill their desires and dreams. And, I am also sure that the vast majority failed to see any difference in their life or current circumstances.

It is not because the Law of Attraction does not work. It does, very well in fact. It has to because it is a Universal Law. Just like the Law of Gravity, the Law of Matter and the Law of Energy, the Law of Attraction is governed by physics. You know, that science class we took but did not understand all that well, the one where we dropped weights down the stairwell and slid blocks of wood across the desk. It was the one where we got an idea about gravity, friction, motion and energy. Do you remember it now? Well, that was physics. It is the science that governs and explains action and reaction, repulsion and attraction.

The Law of Attraction is governed by that science and as one of the Universal Laws, it will work anywhere on earth if the proper actions, beliefs, powers and vibrations are utilized.

So, if that is the case, then why have most people failed when they tried it? It is simple really. "The Secret" or the Law of Attraction, has a secret of its own that even the promoters did not know about.

If you take a look at most of the people involved in "The Secret" you will discover that they are people like Oprah Winfrey, Dr. Dennis Waitley, Bob Proctor, Dr. Joe Vitale, Jack Canfield and other similar types. You will notice that they are all people with very strong personalities and passionate drive. To consider them as "ordinary" people is like considering a hurricane as just another gentle breeze.

That having been pointed out, do not despair. It does not mean that "The Secret" or the Law of Attraction will not work for ordinary people. It will. It will work for everyone, even the ones who have tried over and over and have not had it work for them yet.

All of the above-named people did not need to know the secret behind "The Secret" because of the kind of people they are, strong willed, passionate and filled with self confidence and drive.

The average person may wish for a million dollars, but subconsciously they know that they will never have it. As a result, their subconscious mind will not send out the proper vibrations to attract that million dollars to them. Wanting or wishing for something and believing in your whole being that you will get it are two different things.

So, for the average person, the secret behind "The Secret" is that you have to take baby steps. In other words, you have to start out small. Your subconscious mind will never believe that you will get a million dollars if you ask for it, so do not even try. Instead try asking for something simple, say a seat in a crowded subway car or on a crowded bus. Or how about asking to find a parking space on a crowded street or near the doors of a busy mall?

When you buy a lottery ticket, do not ask to win the top prize, ask for ten dollars or 20 dollars or even 50 dollars. Since these amounts are possible and believable, you can convince yourself and your subconscious mind that you deserve it and that it is yours. Give thanks for winning it as if it were already yours. Be passionate and convinced that it is and constantly give thanks for it.

When you see these simple results of the Law of Attraction start working for you, then you can try working on slightly bigger things. Do not go too fast and do not become discouraged. If you check the histories of the aforementioned people, you will find that they did not succeed the first time that they tried. Just think back on everything that you have accomplished in life, such as learning to walk, learning to talk, learning to dress yourself, to ride a bicycle, to read and to write. They all took time, practice, determination and a belief that you could do it before it actually happened. Getting the Law of Attraction to work for you is just the same.

In conclusion, you can get the Law of Attraction to work for you no matter what your current life is like as long as you start small, convince yourself that you already have it and constantly give thanks for having it. When you continue passionately working on it one small step at a time and constantly expressing gratitude for having it, then you will eventually see that the Law of Attraction works for you too.
