There’s this interesting quality about humans that other living creatures don’t possess: we can choose to believe in things that aren’t real.

“Homo sapiens rules the world because it is the only animal that can believe in things that exist purely in its own imagination, such as gods, states, money, and human rights.” — Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens

So when I first watched The Secret, I told myself I choose to believe that there’s some truth to the whole idea that the world gives you what you want if you believe you deserve it and think on the same “energy level” — or whatever they call it.

As soon as I chose to believe it, my confirmation bias got to work and found me all those times when things worked out exactly how I wanted them to.

You have those examples, too, right?

We all also have the opposite examples, though. Times when things didn’t work out, even though we worked for it and wanted it, and believed we deserved whatever it was.

So which is it? Is the Law of Attraction real? Is there “something” out there that works for us?
