The law of attraction is always at work from "summary" of The Miracles of Your Mind by Dr. Joseph Murphy
The law of attraction is always at work. It is the power that is available to you right now. You are constantly attracting into your life the things, people, and circumstances that correspond with your dominant thoughts. Your mental attitude, your subconscious mind, and your thoughts are always attracting the things and people that harmonize with your dominating thoughts. The law of attraction is neutral. It operates in the same way as the law of electricity. It can be used to heal or to hurt, to attract success or failure, to bring you happiness or misery. Your dominant thoughts and beliefs have a magnetic power that draws to you the things you think and believe. Your subconscious mind cannot argue, it accepts as true that which you feel to be true. It acts this way regardless of whether the object of your belief is good or bad. Your subconscious mind works with the law of attraction. Whatever you impress upon your subconscious mind is expressed on the screen of space as conditions, experiences, and events.
The law of attraction is always at work because it responds to your thoughts and beliefs. If you dwell on obstacles, delays, and difficulties, your subconscious mind responds accordingly. It will attract more obstacles, delays, and difficulties into your life. If you dwell on success, health, and happiness, your subconscious mind will bring to pass the happy, joyful, and satisfying conditions of your life. You attract to yourself what you are, not what you want.
Your mental image, belief, and thought determine your destiny. You attract to yourself those experiences that match your concept of yourself. If you want to change your life, change your self-concept, your beliefs, and your thoughts. You can attract what you want when you impress your subconscious mind with a mental image of the desired outcome. Your thoughts and feelings create your destiny. It is up to you to choose your thoughts wisely.
