Understanding the law of attraction can be summed up in 5 essential things you need to learn to open your flow:
1) Focus On What You Want
2) Remember Things Will Always Happen When They Should
3) Don't Worry About The How
4) Create Positive Energy
5) Keep Making Small Changes
Master these right now and you will know how to engage the universe to attract what you want.
In a nutshell, these are the law of attraction steps to take when manifesting what you want. In our understanding the law of attraction and manifestation we are talking about like attracting like. The concept may seem simple, but there's far more to it than that. It means you can have control over your future happiness if you take responsibility for many of the elements of your life.
1 - What you focus on is what you see around you and what you see around you dictates how you'll act and ultimately the way your life will turn out.
It is important to understand how positive thoughts and negative thoughts are both utilizing the law attraction in your life. If you believe everyone hates you, you'll see it everywhere you go. Everything others say and do will be taken negatively to reaffirm your belief and you'll respond in kind. Ultimately, what you believe in your subconscious mind.... that others hate you.... will become a reality. Some people thrive on self-pity and seem to enjoy sharing stories of their bad luck. Is it any wonder so many people continue to experience problems in understanding how the law of attraction works for others and not for them?
2 - Remember things will happen when they're supposed to happen.
It's a pretty tough job controlling the small details of the universe, but luckily you don't have to do it. Some people think they should have X happen at a specific time in a specific way for their goal to be achieved. That's not true. Things happen when they will be the most beneficial to you. While everyone wants to see things quickly, they'll come as quickly as they should for your success.
3 - Don't worry about the how, just start focusing on what you want to attract.
Creating a visual daydream on how something is meant to happen can be fun, but not at all productive. Rather than guide your vision through the how, simply focus on the what. By the what, I mean what you want. Trying to figure out all the possibilities for how you'll get something takes bundles of energy that can be used elsewhere. Some people fret that they don't know how they'll achieve a particular desire and that can block them from getting what they want. Instead, just knowing you'll have love, happiness, good health, and wealth without worrying about the how, releases your energy.
4 - You create the energy around you that attracts the circumstances, objects, and situations.
Your emotions (thoughts and feelings) are like a magnet, causing your Reticular Activating System (RAS) to bring the right things into your field of focus. You can be anyone, do anything and have anything you want, but the belief in that is what will open your awareness toward the right opportunities. Understanding the law of attraction and manifestation is like being in control of a magnetic field surrounding you. Learn how to build your future from the magnetic energy in the predominant thoughts you hold.
5 - Make small positive changes each day to see massive results.
You won't change the way you think overnight, so don't try to do it. It's just too hard and you'll end up tackling more than you can handle. Just make a small change each day, a 1% change. Learn something helpful in your job, make an effort to forgive someone or find some joy in the day. Changing your attitude and beliefs compounds and one day, you'll find you're a very different person. You become a better person with a better life, than you were when you started the journey.

What is the difference between laws of attraction and manifestation?
The difference is the relationship between cause and effect. You can engage in the law of attraction in several ways to manifest (cause) your dreams and goals (effect). My most simple example is that if you look for the positivity in all situations, you will find it. And THAT can manifest the changes you wish to have in your life. But wait . . there is more!
Understanding this universal principle doesn't mean that you'll never have problems. Stuff happens continuously to everyone, but some people use that information for their benefit, while others sit a wallow in their bad luck.
Those people tend to attract the negative more frequently than others do. Is that just because they're unlucky or is it because they think they're unlucky and this negative thought subconsciously works to prove themselves right?
How does the law of attraction work?
You attract things and people to you in life no matter whether you’re thinking and feeling positive or negative. Survey your life and you will see how the Law of Attraction is working out for you. More importantly is it working to your benefit or not? Are you where you want to be, or do you want something different? If you want a better life, more love, better relationships, more money, or better health, start taking effective action and focus on it so you can change how you think. The law of attraction will work out well for you when you do the right things to facilitate it. And most important for understanding the law of attraction is that it will work out not so well for you when you don’t!
Is the law of attraction real and has this secret worked for anyone?
Yes, yes! Me, me! As well as being a profession psychic, I've been successfully using the Secret, Law of Attraction, and Creative Visualization for many years. So, from my standpoint I know the powerful effect of thought really is creating my future. In my own personal case of formulating self-fulfilling prophecies, with my desires, goals, and outcomes, I have had more than enough evidence to know unequivocally that - YES - the power concepts in the Secret have worked for me! But as a psychic, am I seeing future events that come true or am I projecting thoughts that come true? For me it works both ways and I have a lot of gratitude for both!
