Fascinating exploration. In my MLM days *shudder* I was sent to a conference where the focus was all about this, the Jack Canfield Principals (part of The Secret), and not accepting 'no' from the world. Even then, although I wanted to be grabbed by the excitement and momentum of it all, it felt fake. Why? Because it was a stadium full of sheep being led by rich people who wanted more on the backs of our hard work, marketed as wanting success for us. It *was* fake. Envisioning the results of a won goal can be powerful to aim our actions in the right direction (although my aphantasia prevents me from achieving this the way a typical person can), but not to make it come to you. And thoughts aimed at the goals? Wanting it 'bad enough' just makes it happen? Yeah that's BS on a platter fed to us for book sale gimmicks. 🖤

Oh, you were also a MLM victim? I have been too for a long time. I then went down the Robin Hood path. I worked with a MLM magazine and sold the rich people on the top articles in our magazine that fed their egos and my pockets. So I finally got some money back 😅 The LoA thing is a perfect fit for MLM. If you don't manifest your goals, it's your fault of not wishing it enough.

Exactly. If you get the plague, your faith wasn't strong enough lol. Yeah I sold PartyLite for a few years.
