The law of Attraction vs. Quantum Physics

The Law of Attraction says you just think of what you want and you will attract it to you. While it does seem to work that way sometimes, the idea is misleading, as quantum physics proves. In fact, until you observe or experience your reality, it exists as invisible waves of energy. You aren't attracting anything, therefore, because you are observing it into reality - that new job isn't sitting somewhere just waiting for you to visualize it so it can be drawn to you.

Since we live in a physical reality, it helps to take an action to help you manifest what you want in your reality. What that means is that if you do something, say start taking vitamins, it will help you bring about the reality of improved health, for example. Without a physical action it is more of a stretch, and it can be your own beliefs that could prevent you from creating what you want.

So think about what you want and come up with a way to help you get there - if it's a new relationship, for example, sign up for an online dating service or go to a singles dance. You won't necessarily meet your new partner that way, but it will help you open to the possibility of a relationship. Taking action will solidify your beliefs and create the new reality for you!

What’s the Difference between Attracting and Creating, Anyway?

Is it "just" semantics that separates the two words? A dear friend of mine once said that words are all we human beings have to communicate with, so we need to be accurate with them!

The difference between creating our realities, as opposed to merely attracting them, is that creating bears a much greater responsibility. When you create something you are totally responsible for it - whether it is a painting, a relationship with someone you love, a job - whatever it is. Attracting it is more passive, in that what you attract already exists somewhere and you are acting like a magnet, drawing it to you. Creating takes more courage! You are completely responsible for what you create - and that is indeed how we manifest our realities, on a subatomic level, and based on what's in our subconscious minds.

With responsibility comes authority - you can absolutely have what you want, and visualizing is an important part of getting it, but first you must be sure that you have a fertile field in which to plant the seed of your desire: your subconscious mind cannot hold any contradictory decrees or what you want won't appear. If you have a belief that you'll never fall in love or never succeed, or some other limitation, it will prevent your having that relationship or success ... and you need to change the belief first, so you can have it!
