Self doubt is one of the emotions which can block the Law of Attraction from working fully in your life. The question 'what if I'm doing it wrong' is one question we often ask ourselves. It's a natural thing to ask. Even back as far as school are told there is a right and wrong way to do things, and then we are tested on those principles. I have news for you: there is no right and wrong way to work with the Law of Attraction, there are just a series of lessons to learn.
Here are some ways to start combating self doubt.
Take very tiny steps in the direction you wish to travel. There's no way you can learn everything about the Law of Attraction all at once, and there's no way you can implement every aspect of the Law of Attraction all at once, so don't! Do one area at a time, and learn how to make it work for you, and then move onto the next area. This leads onto the next area: impatience.
When we are impatient we are demanding that the universe hand us everything all at once. It's a self-defeating attitude, and it stops you from seeing what progress you have already made. Take time to smell the roses, and realise that everything happens it its own time. If you feel yourself becoming impatient, take a deep breath and try to work out why you are impatient and what you can do to change this. It's one of the lessons along the way when working with the Law of Attraction. Make it work for you rather than against you. This leads to the last area: there are no examinations.
There aren't any exams. Really, there aren't. Your journey is different to the next person's. So because of this, you'll never have to walk into an examination room and pass a test. This may seem scary because it means you have no yardstick to judge yourself by and to judge others by. Actually, knowing you won't be tested and graded is freeing. Think of the freedom you have no to be yourself, and move in your own direction without restraints.
If you are still concerned, there is nothing wrong with seeking advice so that you can refine your goals and plans. Let go of the impatience, take tiny steps and realise there's no need to judge and you are on your way. There's no right and wrong when working with the Law of Attraction, just a series of choices.

I agree with Trudy as she explained how self-doubt can be the very limiting factor which causes a "block" in how effective the Law of Attraction works to get us what we want, rather than what we don't want. It is also the very thing that causes people to dismiss the Law of Attraction because of the fact they are putting more emotional investment into the things that they don't want without even knowing it. Self confidence is a very important factor, and everyone should strive to improve that quality in ourselves--of course, at the same time making sure not to become arrogant.
Everyone should understand that there is more to the Secret Law of Attraction than the things that are simple and obvious.

It is designed to work for even those who have tried seemingly hundreds of self-development programs.

Law of Attraction "Goldmine" is NOT What it May Seem
Although most people see a goldmine when hear that they can be, do, and have whatever they want just by thinking about it, most don't understand that the Law of Attraction is much more complicated and involved than just simply "thinking" about what they want in order to get it (I'll go into that a little more in a minute). Also, they may think about what they want, but what are they dwelling on for the rest of the day? The bill that just came in and what's going to happen if they don't pay it? How they can't get any sleep because of their neighbors loud music?While nothing can be absolutely proved when it comes to the Law of Attraction, popular theory suggests that everything that goes on in your mind causes a vibration, and the bigger the vibration, the faster whatever you are attracting will come to you (be it something you wanted, or something you did not want). Empty thoughts that aren't associated with any kind of emotion or personal feelings don't cause much of a vibration, and aren't significant enough to override all of the negative things we are exposed to in this world--which inevitably cause you to have negative thoughts, even if they are thoughts that are completely void of emotion/feeling, they're enough to cancel out the empty thoughts of the things you DO want.In order to make the Law of Attraction work for you, it's best to set aside a portion (more than once a day; perhaps upon waking up, and before bed) of your day to relax, and "think" about what you want. By "think", I mean fully emmerse yourself in the situation you want to be in, and picture it in the PRESENT-tense... do not picture yourself in the future in that situation, picture yourself having what you want--NOW. That is an important thing that many people overlook.So to conclude this post, the Law of Attraction may not be the "Goldmine" that people think of it as when they are first exposed to the idea. It's not as easy as just thinking about what you want and then going on with your day. There must be a significant amount of "vibration" coming from those thoughts, and that happens when you visualize and get your emotions/feelings wrapped up in your thoughts.For more information and product reviews on the Law of Attraction, check out this Squidoo lens: The Law of Attraction.For the most complete and best-value product on the Secret Law of Attraction, check out this course called: The 6-Week Extreme Life Makeover.

Human beings control their own lives and destinies. In order to lead a good life, they need to be have leadership qualities. One of the essential qualities is the ability to look beyond the past into the future. Real leader uses past experience as reference. He will not dwell in it no matter if it is good or bad. Like Anthony Robbins frequently said in his works " The past does not equal to the future unless you live there". Leader learns lesson from the past but he is not obsessed in it. Neither is he regretted nor euphoric about the past. He just accepts the past as fact. He only looks for what course of actions he needs to take for the future. Leader must have visions. In this article, we will talk about how to create vision for the future of your life.

There must be many things that you desire. Write down your goals in each area. Your goals can be about your health, education, financial, career, relationship, spiritual or self improvement. Make sure that you cover all major areas which you think are important. Writing down your goals will be the most important step to induce to the ability to see the future more clearly.
2. Create your vision board.Make your vision board by searching for some photos that match your goals.

Don't Get Overwhelmed By Taking the Necessary Actions
The last post described some great tips on what you should to to have the Law of Attraction working in your favor. I know it may be hard to cut the time out of your day to do these things, but it is very important. Taking the time to sit down and write down what you want to achieve in each area of your life shouldn't take very long, but it should get you critically thinking about what you want to do with your life, and what you want to achieve.Making a vision board may seem like a hassle for many people, especially those who do not have any magazines or newspapers lying around. Here's a quick tip: Use the internet. Do a Google Image search on the things that you want, copy and paste the pictures into a word document and print out your vision board onto paper. It works the same way. But why? Why use a vision board if you are going to visualize in your mind anyway? A vision board stimulates the initial visualization process and makes it much more powerful. Wouldn't you agree that things seem more "real" and believable when we can see them with our own eyes? A vision board is an essential tool for visualization in the present tense--which also happens to be an essential ingredient to getting what you want with the Law of Attraction.Taking action is probably the hardest step in the entire process. Wouldn't we all like to think that we can just think about and imagine what we want and heave them appear at our doorstep? Doing those things is what is needed to make available the things that you want, but when it all comes down to it, YOU must reach out and grab it (taking action). So why not just skip the entire process and jump right into taking action? If you are able to do so, by all means, do so! The other steps are for the things we cannot control, which hinder us from getting what we really want.I'm an avid Christian so more important steps for me in this entire process is prayer, faith, trust in God, and knowing that it is not the 'Universe' that puts into motion all of these things that I attract (or that God allows me to attract into my life), but is the omni-present God of the entire Universe.For more information and product reviews on the Law of Attraction, check out this Squidoo lens: The Law of Attraction.Everyone should understand that there is more to the Secret Law of Attraction than the things that are simple and obvious.

The Secret - Law of Attraction - Define and Apply
The Law of Attraction is very real and people are utilizing it right now to achieve their dreams and goals. Through monitoring and controlling your attitude and perception you can change the experiences in your life. The programming that lies in the depths of your subconscious mind is that which controls your conscious mind, which in turn controls the choices and decisions you make in relation to the direction your life takes. By thinking positively you will be much more likely to have positive experiences to match. The bible verse that says "as you sow so shall you reap" is in line with the Law of Attraction, as is the passage "if you speak death you will eat death". Both indicate that what you think, do, feel and believe is where life will take you.Anyone who begins to understand the Law of Attraction will want to convert to positive thinking. For those who experience difficulty mustering up a positive mood, simply plant that smile on your face and the feeling will follow! It is important to understand that it's your very own thoughts that are controlling your emotions, so steer your thinking and your emotions will improve as well. The best way to learn is through experience, and by analyzing your thinking patterns and the way they are making you feel you can realign yourself to the law of attraction until it simply becomes second nature.If you don’t believe you deserve good things to come to you then they won't. This means the Law of Attraction demands you improve your self esteem and confidence so you are ready to receive your dreams. The things, people and experiences in your life will all relate to what you really believe, so if you don’t like something you see around you, start with analyzing yourself. The Law of Attraction wont work in your favor if you force yourself to think good thoughts yet walk around in a foul mood. You have to feel, think and expect that what you want is being drawn your way. If you are doing something in your life that is disrespecting yourself then the Law of Attraction will ensure you only get what you are stating you are worth with those actions. If something you are thinking or feeling is not something you would want thought or felt about you, stop doing it immediately. To further your understanding and deepen your connection to the true source of universal love, God, you can learn other laws such as The Law of Pure Desire, The Law of Paradoxical Intent and The Law of Harmony.To learn about belief and surrender, read The Law of Pure Desire. This law teaches you to use love as your guide and be passionate in your pursuits. The Law of Pure Desire teaches you to incant what you would like to attract so your subconscious mind can lead you towards it. Losing all negative beliefs relating to your own self worth, you must imagine yourself being there living in your dream future life, feeling the wonderful emotions. Being open minded so you recognize when your dreams arrive in a different form to what you originally visualized is also part of this law.The Law of Paradoxical Intent is most importantly relating to trust, letting go and believing joy will be yours, regardless of all else. It involves being concise in your intentions and avoiding distractions. The Law of Paradoxical Intent reminds you to maintain calmness, stay relaxed and don’t allow impatience or urgency to drive you. Learning to measure internal not external happiness and be in a state of thankfulness for the life you have rather than focusing on what you are missing out on are vital for being able to live in the moment and utilize this law.No one likes to be judged or criticized, and the Law of Harmony is all about not judging others. If you do your best to make every relationship harmonious and be kind and forgiving to everyone you will be rewarded in your own life. Use every opportunity to give and help out because you never know when you may need the same help yourself. The Law of Harmony refreshes your motivation to be propelled to do for love alone and to seek kinship with other people.If you maintain a clear focus towards peace, happiness, beauty and love the world around you will be full of those things. If you instead allow yourself to be drawn down into negative actions and thoughts of criticism or competition, then that is all you will see. Uncover your deep and true desires and allow them to be your motivation and guide for life and what you want will be where you go. You only need to do your part by making these changes you are in control of and the Law of Attraction and the universe will arrange the rest.CW Teo is an expert in personal development.

Thought Manifestation
I keep hearing talk about Thought Manifestation, Reality Manifestation and the Power of Positive Thinking. It’s everywhere, along with a number of advertisements in the form of many documentary-films – What the Bleep, and The Secret among them. So the approaching popularization of the Law of Attraction and Create Your Own Reality. Personally I loved these things on the first viewing; then upon later consideration, I realized they are a bit of a bastardization of most levels of so called Quantum Thought (a bastardized term if there was ever one!) A bit like how popular music is a bastardization of true music – so-to-speak.
So are we entering an age where occult beliefs are to integrate into the mainstream – only to be worn like a new trend of i Pod?
We could call it, I, Manifestation.
In entering popular thought; the message behind thought manifestation – the Law of Attraction – could begin loosing some of its essence. These things are being driven from a perspective of self-serving, self-fulfillment. Don’t get me wrong – it’s great to have nice stuff… but I, Manifestation lacks a certain grace of thought. When creating our own reality, should material fulfillment be the eventual result of our faith? As if the term Faith could ever be applied to materialism…
But this isn’t what reality creation is truly about is it. It isn’t so much that there has been a perversion in the ideals; but rather a corruption in the interpretation. And I suspect that is how it goes – it seems to me that this is often the result when millions of people get their hands upon what could be deemed holy law. Scripture is another area where group interpretation rules over and above the true message. It is what is within us that counts – as was told in the famous words: “The Kingdom of Heaven is Within”.
What is within any of us? It’s a question we should be constantly asking ourselves.

The Law of Attraction
The Law of Attraction simply says that you attract into your life whatever you think about. Your dominant thoughts will find a way to manifest. But the Law of Attraction gives rise to some tough questions that don’t seem to have good answers. I would say, however, that these problems aren’t caused by the Law of Attraction itself but rather by the Law of Attraction as applied to objective reality.
Here are some of those problematic questions (all are generalizations of ones I received via email):
What happens when people put out conflicting intentions, like two people intending to get the same promotion when only one position is available?
Do children, babies, and/or animals put out intentions?
If a child is abused, does that mean the child intended it in some way?
If I intend for my relationship to improve, but my spouse doesn’t seem to care, what will happen?
These questions seem to weaken the plausibility of the Law of Attraction. Sometimes people answer them by going pretty far out. For example, it’s been said by LoAers that a young child experiences abuse because s/he intended it or earned it during a past life. Well, sure… we can explain just about anything if we bring past lives into the equation, but IMO that’s a cop-out. On the other hand, objective reality without the Law of Attraction doesn’t provide satisfactory answers either — supposedly some kids are just born unlucky. That’s a cop-out too.
I’ve never been satisfied by others’ answers to these questions, and they’re pretty important questions if the Law of Attraction is to be believed. Some books hint at the solution but never really nail it. That nail, however, can be found in the concept of subjective reality.
Subjective reality is a belief system in which (1) there is only one consciousness, (2) you are that singular consciousness, and (3) everything and everyone in your reality is a projection of your thoughts.
You may not see it yet, but subjective reality neatly answers all these tricky Law of Attraction questions. Let me ’splain….
In subjective reality there’s only one consciousness, and it’s yours. Consequently, there’s only one source of intentions in your universe — YOU. While you may observe lots of walking, talking bodies in your reality, they all exist inside your consciousness. You know this is how your dreams work, but you haven’t yet realized your waking reality is just another type of dream. It only seems solid because you believe (intend) it is.
Since none of the other characters you encounter are conscious in a way that’s separate from you, nobody else can have intentions. The only intentions are yours. You’re the only thinker in this universe.
It’s important to correctly define the YOU in subjective reality. YOU are not your physical body. This is not the egoic you at all. I’m not suggesting you’re a conscious body walking around in a world full of unconscious automatons. That would be a total misunderstanding of subjective reality. The correct viewpoint is that you’re the single consciousness in which this entire reality takes place.
Imagine you’re having a dream. In that dream what exactly are YOU? Are YOU the physical dream character you identify with? No, of course not — that’s just your dream avatar. YOU are the dreamer. The entire dream occurs within your consciousness. All dream characters are projections of your dream thoughts, including your avatar. In fact, if you learn lucid dreaming, you can even switch avatars in your dream by possessing another character. In a lucid dream, you can do anything you believe you can.
Physical reality works the same way. This is a denser universe than what you experience in your sleeping dreams, so changes occur a bit more gradually here. But this reality still conforms to your thoughts just like a sleeping dream. YOU are the dreamer in which all of this is taking place.
The idea that other people have intentions is an illusion because other people are just projections. Of course, if you strongly believe other people have intentions, then that’s the dream you’ll create for yourself. But ultimately it’s still an illusion.
