It appears so straightforward: Ask, expect, and receive.

Some people swear that the Law of Attraction works. Others try and try and experience nothing but apparent failure. Without positive results, they can't help but wonder if 'the Law of Attraction' is a bunch of New Age mumbo jumbo.

There are some very good reasons why the Law of Attraction does not seem to deliver all that it is supposed to deliver.

Results May Not Be As Instantaneous as Expected

One explanation why the Law of Attraction may not work is that you might be wanting your wish list to manifest immediately. You have to realize that the Law of Attraction involves sending out positive energy around a subject. You must trust that the universe will send it back to you in the right time.

What you're asking for is most likely something good that you're excited to receive, like a hefty chunk of cash to pay off some past due bills. You may find that you are worrying whether the Law of Attraction will actually work and asking exactly when it is going to manifest. When you're riddled with impatience, it may mean that you do not really believe that anything is coming. You are just going through the motions and not willing to commit to a positive thinking routine.

The Universe May Have a Better Way

You might also be expecting the manifestation of the Law of Attraction to arrive in a limited, specific fashion. For instance, you might ask for cash. You are hoping someone you know will just give it to you. This may be your conception of the Law of Attraction. However, if you are alert to the universe around you, you may discover another means of fulfillment of your request. An idea might be revealed to you that would bring you the money you want. Following up on the inspired idea might involve some work, but the end result would be the same ... the cash you need. If your energy is positive, you will look upon this circumstance with gratitude and joy. By the Law of Attraction, acting on inspiration can only enhance the good in your life.

Getting Frustrated and Quitting

Another mistake people make in using the Law of Attraction is to put too much emphasis on current reality as they see it. When they see things that seem to prove that the Law of Attraction is not working, they quit believing. They get frustrated and their desire to maintain positive thoughts disappears, only to be replaced with negative thoughts. This negative thinking will bring more of the same.

The fact of the matter is that if people truly understand the Law of Attraction and the science behind it, what appears to be going on in current 'reality' will have little influence on them. This is because they will have total belief and trust that the Law of Attraction has been operating all along. For instance, today's reality is only the manifestation of yesterday's thoughts and the future will be different.

Masters of the Law of Attraction realize that their new positive, focused thoughts will without a doubt come to pass in the future.

Negative Upbringing

Negative or limited beliefs instilled since childhood may be suffocating the good that the Law of Attraction can deliver. Many have deeply ingrained emotions about things they consider to be too hard to conquer, or too much or too big to have.

A great deal of this may be due to upbringing, education and experience. If, during your entire youth, you were taught that rich people are disfavored by God, it creates a paradox when practicing the Law of Attraction to attract large sums of money. For example, you may consciously intend to manifest wealth using the Law of Attraction but on a subconscious or emotional level, you are rejecting any cash that may come your way because you don't want to be a bad person.

These emotions tend to cloud the energy you are sending out. Experts in the Law of Attraction have developed ways to release such emotions. These techniques permit a person to be free of negative vibes that have come from childhood or past experiences and to use the Law of Attraction without subconscious limitations. 'Mind Movies' are an exciting new resource that can be easily used to transform the negativity lurking around in the subconscious mind (see http://www.achieve-your-destiny.com for details). People's experiences from Mind Movies have been incredible.

If you properly use the Law of Attraction, you will have what you want. It can be easy once you change the way you think and feel about things. If you can come to fully embrace the Law of Attraction, you can witness fantastic results through the Law of Attraction.
