The "LOA" Industry and the Reality of Success Rhonda Byrne’s The Secret and its subsequent adaptation as a film made waves across the masses. Law of Attraction (LOA) was dubbed as "magic" or the "power of thought": think and it will come into action. The book insists on a methodology of positive thinking, assumption, and "seeing the magic." Inspired by this, a brand-new industry emerged. People called themselves "LOA coaches" (really?). They tell a backstory of how they 'discovered' these 'secret' techniques and almost all of them have a similar plot in the lines of, They were going through a difficult time, struggling emotionally, financially, and mentally.

  Looking back, what’s one transformation of yours you couldn’t believe yourself? Answer: ACCEPTANCE of yourself. As a child, I was in a dangerously insecure zone — partially due to studying in a same-gender school (anyone who has attended an all-girls’ school or college might relate to me), and partially due to the bullies I had to encounter.

If you don’t let your kids do what their heart calls for, it becomes very difficult for them later in life. ” That one sentence shook me. I couldn’t help reflecting on my own life. As a child, life sciences fascinated me. I always imagined a career in laboratories, helping unravel nature’s secrets. I pictured myself teaching, researching, and earning a living while contributing to a larger comm...
