Why The Law Of Attraction And Goal Setting Are Different

Many people mistake the Law of Attraction (LOA) with goal setting. While there are similarities between the two self-development tools, most people don't always get them right.



However, when you figure out how to use the LOA properly, it will work and change your life. Otherwise, people can continue striving for their goals but they are chasing the wrong things that lead them to a wrong path.

This is not to say that you can't use the LOA to help you achieve your goals. (This could be the reason why people get them confused.) Some believe that if you try to set the wrong goals or your goals are too aggressive, LOA will be used against you because you will stress out by not being able to accomplish those goals.

In this way, goals can be looked at as the path you set whereas the LOA is the power or the engine that will get you there.

When you create a plan (your goals), you focus on the positive aspect of the plan and how it can get you to where you want to be in life.

Do you need to have goals to use the LOA? Take finding a mate, as an example.

You may go out on more dates every month. You may think this is a goal. But will it result in finding someone? It may, it may not, but the point is will that person be right for you? When LOA is used, proponents believe that you will find the right person due to what you put out into the universe.

The big dating websites will state they have the scientific formula for choosing the right mate.

Perhaps they do a good job. But, can they beat the LOA when it comes to finding love? Does the very nature of using one of these sites set the stage for the correct components needed using the LOA to find that mate? It does get you to focus your attention on thinking about the right qualities you find desirable.


There are people who believe that when you stop looking for love is when you tend to find it. This goes against the grain of both the LOA believers and the dating websites.

Then again, from the LOA perspective, perhaps you have put out to the universe the proper requirements needed. Then, when you stop stressing about trying to find the perfect person by not thinking about it anymore, you are rewarded with finding someone. This can happen without even turning on your computer.

Anyhow, whether you believe in the LOA or not, the only way to really get what you want in life is to BECOME the kind of person that deserves the things you want. Take action and make things happen.
