Law of Attraction : The Universal Law | Personal development articles What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear attract? It is really great when you are able to attract what you like into your life. This is not a dream, it is very much possible to do so. The Law of Attraction has been expressed in various manners. 1. “What you transmit around in the form of your thoughts, feelings, mental pictures and words, is what you attract into your life”. It is a fact that like attracts like. I am sure you must have experienced a situation where you were very focused on accomplishing something. For example, do you know why subliminal software programs (specifically Subliminal Flash) are so powerful and help so many people in achieving their goals quickly and with no effort? Many of us also go through a time when we need something pretty badly, but do not get it.
