I am a big fan of the law of attraction for so many reasons, there is no doubt. One of the things that I find so healthy about it is that it is bringing us all back to a place where we are realizing that we are responsible for ourselves. That we are not victims, we are volunteers. We are empowered beings, if we chose to be. I also love the way that it teaches us to choose our words and our thoughts carefully and that our thoughts do not choose us, no matter how it seems. All this said, I feel that the Law of Attraction is also a place that we can easily fall into some pitfalls.
Pitfalls such as entitlement and lack of gratitude because we fee we don't have it "all". And then there are people who seem to be so "aligned" and "having it all" that we begin to wonder what is wrong with us. Thoughts like, "well, I must be out of alignment or blocked some how because I don't have everything that I want". I have noticed in some cases there is an immaturity about this law. As if we comparing the Universe to Santa Clause.
When we are a good boy/girl we can have that fancy car. If we don't get that fancy car, there must be something wrong with us. Then our mind becomes a hampster running on a wheel, getting us no where.  We go into our minds to figure out where the block is so that we can be in alignment and get what we want.
Becoming aligned is not a place we can get to by using mind power. Becoming aligned is about connecting with the Source within from the place of our spirit. And, from what I can see, there are things our spirit has signed us up to learn here in Earth school. Some of us have signed up for patience, for example. That means there are a lot of people wandering around wondering what is wrong with them because they are unable to manifest matter into their earthly life the way they want to. And the truth is, there is nothing wrong with them. And they will likely get what they desire after they learn about patience. There is a level of acceptance that goes along with the the Law of Attraction.
I feel that learning to accept what "reality" is, acknowledging the desire for more and still living in that place of acceptance in the moment is the best way to attract what we truly desire. And the high point of applying the law this way is that are truly in a place of spirit when we get "it". Manifesting material goods is no longer the driving force. Our SPIRIT is the driving force and all the other stuff just becomes the fluff.
Using The Law of Attraction from the place of Spirit is where the good stuff is. We are able to fully enjoy and appreciate all that we bring into our lives because our definition of our self is not hinged on whether we are clear enough to manifest matter. Our definition of self comes from the place of authenticity, the way to true alignment for materialization of what we so desire.
