There are things in our control and things outside of our control. The things outside of our control will continue to frustrate us if we mistake those things for being in our control.

I haven't read any entire books based on the Law of Attraction; however, in the fragment I read of one, (The Secret), the author advises an inconsistent approach. The advice is that our belief that we shall experience positive outcomes will cause those outcomes to occur.

The most extreme case is that I could wish away my mental illness. That is not possible and is a counterexample to the Law of Attraction.

A more nuanced case is that I could wish that a woman like me. Although I have wished that many a woman like me, my wishing that she like me has not caused her to like me.

Our thoughts don't always reflect reality.
