In my other article I wrote about the Law of Attraction and romance and got alot of feedback from my readers. I was happy to find out that the Law of Attraction actually worked for some couples. I was also shocked how many people are into the Law of Attraction. One person even found their "person of their dreams" by doing the exercise that The Secret suggested by writing down all the positive qualities that they wanted in the person they were wanting to fall in love with.
Another lady mentioned that "You get what your soul needs at each particular moment in life and not what you daydream of, or think positively of. If what you think positively of is what you may need is on a soul level you're granted success. Love: if you meet a man or woman you need to get a better picture of your own inner world. He or she is mirroring you so you can alone or together work through the issues at hand. Maybe it's for life or just for some lesson."
I thought what this lady said was really interesting. "The person that you are with mirrors you so that you can work through your issues together." I never thought of it that way. What about all the bad people you were with? That you felt in no way like? I guess maybe some parts drew you to that person. I didn't want to admit this to myself because if I look at the long list of people that I had dated, I wouldn't ever think we were alike. As I thought more about it though, I realized I was a different person at the times when I was dating those people and when the relationship didn't work anymore, was when I changed inside as a person and wasn't attracting those people to me anymore.
Another person told me that you could be attracting people not based on what you actually want (positive qualities), but on how you feel (depressed thoughts) and that those are being projected out there. You have to really feel and believe these feelings first before you get anything back.
In the movie the Secret, there was an artist who kept meeting the wrong type of woman. The Law of Attraction lady told him maybe it's because of all the paintings he had in his place of women with their backs faced toward him. She told him to start painting pictures of him with other women so, he did. He got alot of dates then, but no wife material. She then told him to start painting pictures of him with a woman enjoying their time together. Soon enough he found his wife- the woman of his dreams.
Interesting. Let me know if this works for you.

Thanks for an interesting post. There is little doubt that the Law of Attraction is real and at work in our lives.
In fact, it is really very easy for anyone to prove it to themselves.
Just by changing what you focus on, you can watch as your life changes to include those things.
It's really not that difficult. Just like any new skill, it requires some practice.
I can tell you from my own experience that it is worth the effort!
I'm really glad you included the feedback from the reader about how our relationships mirror our lives. It isn't that the "other" person is the same as we are in the way we would view a mirror simply, but that they play a part in our understanding of an aspect of ourselves. For example, if I happen to be a workaholic, I may attract a partner who is a playaholic. Why? Because on some level, I do not accept the "lazy" parts of myself. So our partners are there to give us an opportunity to heal our childhood wounds (and everyone has been wounded in one way or another) as well as to learn self-compassion and self-love. It might take an abusive husband for a woman to really step into her own power for example.
I also agree that it is your vibration (reflected in your dominant feelings) that is the attractor rather than your conscious "positive" thoughts. After coaching many people succesfully, I can attest that we CAN learn to harness the Law of Attraction www.lawofattractioninlove.com
