The Law of Attraction

The Law of attraction works such that all that is similar will be attracted to each other. Sayings like “birds of a feather flock together”, and “like father like son” seem to reflect the workings of this Law.

For the human spirit, there is an inherent ability to attract things just as a magnet will attract metals. This Law of Nature ensures that man will not attract all sorts of things to itself in a wild confusion. The effect of this Law ensures order. Therefore only what is similar to the nature of the human spirit is attracted to it.

In this, our thoughts, words, actions and even our aspirations play a very important part. So a person who lives in a particular state of mind will attract a similar reality to himself. For example a person who lives in perpetual fear of attack by enemies seen and unseen will eventually be harassed and in some cases lead to depression and serious mental illness!

One can on the other hand cooperate with the workings of this Law. For example, if you are a new business owner just starting out in your business  and you desire that only those who are punctual and honest are those you require in that business- you start off by being punctual yourself. Pay yourself a salary and do not take company money anyhow. You will find that only those who have the same work style like you will be attracted to join you in the business. If you wish for a good spouse (wife/husband) you start out by becoming a better human being first and only a person that complements you will be attracted to you.

On a lighter note I tell my friends that if they want a quick experiment of this Law, all they need do is to invite about 40 people to a party. After a while during the party, they will find that people will seat in a way that suggests a common interest. People who work in the same place will move close to each other, those who enjoy talking about football will come together, the beer drinkers and smokers will form separate circles! You can also change an undesired circumstance. For instance where a man decides that he is tired of being a drunkard, he can start by forsaking the company of his drunkard friends, make new friends with those who find better ways to relax. His lifestyle will change gradually in accordance with the measure of his inner change.

A close look at our surroundings shows the operation of this law. And that is why this saying is true: show me your friends and I will tell you who you are!
