The Science Behind The Law of Attraction

By 

I had a life-changing conversation the other day. The lady I was talking with spoke with such conviction, such energy, and such passion. “We create our reality,” she said.

She spoke about the law of attraction - which is how our beliefs form the foundation of our experiences. She described in detail our vibrations and how they interact with the universe. Although I’ve heard it all before, and dismissed it long ago, I was moved to my very core by her passion.

We should appreciate how truly lucky we are. There were times and places where owning a business was a crime – a punishable, serious offence. Never-mind renting a building and hiring employees, opening a lemonade stand could have landed you in jail.

Then, why is it that many of us never take advantage of this world of opportunity in which we live?
