What's wrong with my 'manifesting tactics'?

[FlickeringFlame~]

I visit this forum often and reading the success stories has given me faith,it really has that the LoA  does work.But I haven't had much success of my own.I've been successful attracting cars of some specific colors,and a few other things like attracting a favorite TV show..but that's all the success I've ever got  Phone calls/text messages are something that I've never been successful in attracting..I don't understand..I do let go of all attachment(well,I try to  )..I do have faith in the law..
What's going wrong here?!

I think maybe you don't believe you will get it or there is some limiting belief that is blocking your manifestation.

Just curious but where did you get that profile picture because another member is using the same one?

@FlickeringFlame~

Keep patience and keep faith, you will see all your desires come true...
Just believe that you can manifest everything you want... the belief and the feeling is the most important.
So far i also did not manifest anything significant. But i still believe everything i want is on its way....

@Mariposa,

FlickeringFlame~ and Maverick both have used the 'Eminem' avatar, which is available in this site's avatar gallery...

Oh that explains it!  Thanks!

I didn't realize there was an Avatar gallery.  I downloaded my own picture.

Thanks for the explanation.

The Law of Attraction will line up every person, event and situation to match your vibration, and it is your focused thoughts, feelings and emotions that make up this vibration. What are your focused thoughts, feelings and emotions? If your focus is that you have difficulties, that you are not successful in attracting what you want that's exactly how it's going to be.

How can you think and feel in a way to match what you desire, when your reality does not represent what you want?

"Isn’t it all to easy for me to sit here and say, “match the vibration of your desires, and your desires will manifest.” When, for so many people, the thought of thinking like they had their ideal, in a reality when they don’t, is just too difficult. How can you think and feel love, when love is not your experience? How can you think and feel wealth, when you’re faced with poverty? How can you think and feel health, when you need to take your medication?
And if I could give you the definitive solution to do this, I would. But lets be honest, when we have lived a life, never being taught the importance of our thoughts, and the most of us let our minds run out of control. Suggesting that you can control the way you think and feel, seems an outrageous idea. So how do you get the Law of Attraction to work? Well, the good news is, you don’t. You never have to get the Law of Attraction to work, because it is and always will be at work, and for as long as you think, the Law of Attraction aligns you to your thoughts. " *


*taken from a website on LOA, don't exactly know which one because I write things I find in a notebook so here is some of it..

you have manifest alot of things...so you do know that the law works but you also question the law...change your thoughts and you change the world...simple!!! you have faith but do u really BELIEVE IN THE LAW? when you wholeheartedly believe in the unforeseen then you will experience magic in your life....Happy manifestation.

[FlickeringFlame~]

Thanks everyone
I'll work on it.Like DH4-EVERHAPPYINLOVE pointed out,maybe I don't really believe in the Law..maybe I don't believe that the LoA will work for me..but if it works for so many people,it will work for me too,right?
I hope to post a success story of my own soon

@Moonpetal-I really liked your idea of writing down such nice quotes in a notebook..I've been thinking of making a journal for such LoA related stuff too..either to record my feelings/thoughts(good/bad)..or to just note down every successful manifestation,however small it may be

I've been successful attracting cars of some specific colors,and a few other things like attracting a favorite TV show..but that's all the success I've ever got 

I am also successful at attracting these things . Toast!

Phone calls/text messages are something that I've never been successful in attracting..I don't understand..I do let go of all attachment(well,I try to  )..I do have faith in the law..
What's going wrong here?!

You know, I am also having the same experience. I've never attracted phone calls/texts from someone in particular. From my experience I can not attract anything in particular. When I expect something in particular to happen, it just doesn't. Now most of the members here question that "Do I really understand the law" or  "Do I really believe in the LoA", but what I've experienced is, When I use The Law of Attraction at my stake, it works the best. When I try to associate myself with something in particular, it fails royally.

FlickeringFlame~, what I'd recommend you is don't be obsessed with anything in particular. Instead think of what you want to attract, describe it in detail, feel like you have it, act on it, you will face the least resistance and then be ready to accept whatever comes your way. When I follow this strategy The Law of Attraction never disappoints me, moreover I always get more and better than what I had asked for.
Of course, this is something that works for me, you have all rights to accept / deny it.

@All who practice The Law of Attraction -
Do you think this is a limiting belief? I am really confused about this. Please help me out.

Thanks

The way I understood LOA is that it works regardless of do you believe in it or not. You focus on something and the more you keep focusing on it, it will manifest.. So maybe we shouldn't worry about whether or not we believe enough but rather just focus on what we want and feel good about it.

Could it be when you try to manifest particular things that you have expectations on how and when it's supposed to manifest? Or do you get impatient about it after a while and start having doubts? Or shift your focus on it not manifesting? I noticed that with me sometimes it starts great and I think and feel of having it but after a while I realize I start to think more of not having it and just end up sabotaging myself

Yes, I like to write notes on what I read, it helps me a lot.. I've also extracted the sound of the Secret in mp3 format (may the authors forgive me please) and play it while I do other things, helps as well
