The Law of Attraction Defined

According to the movie The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, you can have anything you desire. This concept is known as the Law of Attraction. Whatever you want—whether it's wealth, a great relationship, perfect health—you can attract it.
But here’s the catch: ANYTHING you desire, you attract. That includes poverty, illness, and painful relationships. This is where many people get frustrated. They want abundance, but they’re still struggling. Why? Because The Secret only taught half the principle.
The other half is found in the most widely read book in the world: the Bible (KJV). Matthew 7:7-8 says,
"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: [This is what "The Secret" has revealed, and now for the second half] For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."
(Notes and emphasis by the author)
James 2:17 (KJV) gives us even more insight:
“Even so faith [Law of Attraction], if it hath not works [action], is dead, being alone.”
(Notes by the author)
So here’s the truth: the second half of the Law of Attraction is ACTION—specifically, inspired action.
Think about what you've been desiring in your life up to this point. Then take a closer look at the actions you’ve been taking, the choices you’ve been making, and the life you’ve been living. I know—this can be a tough pill to swallow. It was for me, too. And honestly, sometimes it still is.
But there’s hope. There are universal laws that govern action. When you understand and apply them, you’ll be better equipped to act on the desires of your heart.
Explaining these laws in depth is beyond the scope of this article, but I’ll list them here so you can explore them further or look for my other articles that go into more detail:
