Does the law of attraction actually work?

The law of attraction is all-pervading, and you will attract to yourself the object of your attention. If you seek that which uplifts you, educates you for a higher path, assists you to know more about yourself, it will come. If you seek that which uplifts and inspires you, it will come. If you seek that which helps you understand who you truly are, it will come. If you seek that which helps you understand the universe and how its laws work, that, too, will come to you. Everything works according to the law of attraction—that which you think of will be drawn unto you.
