What Is the Law of Attraction?

The Law of Attraction is a belief framework commonly summarized as thoughts and emotional focus attracting matching experiences. It can also be used more modestly as a reflection practice; there is no established evidence that thoughts alone control external events.

A practical way to use this idea

Separate belief, attention, action, and outcome whenever evaluating a claim.

Worked example: Thinking about a career change may make related opportunities more noticeable, but applications, skills, timing, and other people still affect results.
