#8 - Law of Attraction DEBUNKED: You Cannot Attract What You Want

You cannot attract what you want. You can only attract WHAT YOU ARE. The law of attraction is a metaphysical pseudoscience that claims that one can attract anything they desire by thinking positively. However, there is no empirical scientific evidence supporting the law of attraction, and it is widely considered to be based on erroneous, unfounded assumptions. Many people get caught up in the idea of the law of attraction but most of the time it is wishful thinking maintained through the negation of suffering. Positive affirmations of grandiosity are not going to change your life, they are only going to inflate your own sense of self-importance which is going to hurt you in the long run. This is because positive affirmations don't lead to real-world behaviour change. The law of attraction claims that you can attract things simply by the power of thought but doesn’t emphasis the most powerful act you can commit: behaviour change. Instead, positive affirmations only create a blanket of comfort which negates the most important message you need to know: If change in your life is desired, the toleration of suffering that comes from stepping into the uncomfortable unknown through behaviour change must also be accepted. This is because change requires you to do things you don't usually do, those things are usually not comfortable at first. You cannot attract what you want by remaining to be the same person you have always been and expect different results. That would be the definition of insanity. New age thought negates the necessity of suffering so that its message gains popularity through the power of false hope wrapped in positive, pseudo-spiritual platitudes of self-righteous pride. This usually leads you back wanting more of their “magic formula” because they only tell you what you want to hear, not what you actually need to hear.
