I first heard about LOA when I was 17 and I'd just started my first proper job. A friend of mine bought me The Secret on DVD and I watched it and didn't really believe at first. I visualized something (can't remember what) for about a week and after seeing no results, I said **** it it doesn't work. A few years later, I was looking online at something (can't remember what that was either) and decided to try again. After a week, I saw no results and gave up again. (I now know why I wasn't seeing results but at the time it was a mystery to me)
Years later when my boyfriend (who you all know I attracted back) left me, a little voice in my head led me to re discover LO. I watched The Secret again and this time I did a lot of research. I read books by Rhonda Byrne, Pam Grout, Elizabeth Daniels, Neville Goddard. I watched YouTube videos by Brett Moran, YouAreCreators, Victor Velure and of course, Veronica Isles.
This time I actually wanted to learn as much as possible and my mind wouldn't let forget or give up. This was the universe's way of letting me know where I'd gone with the break up, where I'd gone wrong in the past and what I needed to do to attract him back. Which of course I did as you all know. It was also a message from the universe telling that I had to attract him back. Otherwise I would have repeated the giving up saga that I did in the past. It was the way of the universe telling me that he is the right one for me and that the universe wanted us to be together too.
So how, why and when did you discover LOA?
Let's say you wanted to manifest money. You were most likely coning from a place of lack and desperation. You were focusing on NOT having money and as you know now that was just adding more of being without money. You were guided by the universe to discover LOA so you could learn how to manifest the money you were after.
In my case, the universe sent my friend to me to help me discover LOA.
most people on here want to attract love/reconciliation. The universe guided you to a place to discover LOA so you can manifest that love/reconciliation that you desire. Maybe you didn't love yourself or like in my first example, you were coming from a place of lack and desperation.
It is NO coincidence that you found out about LOA. It was the universe guiding you to help you. What you truly want/desire, the universe also truly wants you to have.
Just remember that nothing is impossible and you can have, do, be anything.
I don't regret not paying attention to the first time i found out about LOA. I can't even remember what my desires were so I can't have wanted them that much otherwise I wouldn't have given up after just one week.
The reason LOA stuck in the depths of mg mind was because I had to learn why my guy had left me and that there was no chance of him not coming back. I knew he was mine forever the very time I saw him. LOA helped remind me of all the thoughts I'd had the first time I'd met him. I learnt where I'd gone wrong and what I needed to do to get back with him 👌

I was about 17, maybe 18. My mental health issues were just starting to show themselves so I was incredibly angry and confused, I had no idea what to do with myself. After a rough few months which included being told by someone I wanted to be with that we'd never be together I decided that there was a lot more to life than struggling and crying. So I decided to Google ways to change your life for the better. I came across a few pages talking about the Law of Attraction, of course back then it sounded like a load of tripe. I decided to give it a go though, got nowhere obviously because my scepticism levels were through the roof.
I went on with my life, got diagnosed officially with a few mental health disorders and slipped back into playing the victim. I then decided to look into LOA again, I changed my perspective as well as I could. I decided I wanted a new relationship and some new experiences. Nothing happened straight away. One day I decided to tweet about the amount of Rockstar games video games I'd been playing, now keep in mind they are a popular developer they actually retweeted what I said. I had an influx of followers and new people talking to me, which I loved. One of them stuck out, we began talking daily. I wasn't keen on him, to begin with, I was 18 and he lived in England and I was in Wales, I didn't think I'd be able to do long distance. Over time that changed though and I actually fell for the guy. We had a hiccup early on because I didn't trust him and that's when I noticed thoughts really shape your reality. He originally told me it wouldn't work but I had this gut feeling that this wasn't the end of our story. I opened up to him about everything that was going in my life and my fears. He then told me he wanted to be with me, I was over the moon. That was December 2012. He told me at the end of April he'd booked tickets to me on May 1st, 2013. We had our first real date that day and it was honestly one of the best days of my life. So I got my boyfriend like I'd wanted, I also got the courage to travel to Manchester to see him. So being with him I got to go to Oldham, Manchester, Bury and even a nice little town in North Wales. So that was successful.
I'll gloss over the negative here as much as I can but him leaving because of old fears resurfacing helped me find myself again, I threw myself back into studying it all. I intended to manifest him back but wound up meeting someone else, of course, old fears crept up again and that went wrong, so I've dedicated my time again to find myself again, living with mental illness and not struggling.
In March I decided I wanted to go away from Wales for a while, see a new place gain a new perspective and do something I wouldn't normally do in my comfort zone. A day later a friend texts me and asked me if I wanted to go on a barge boat holiday for a week in the south of England. So I jumped at that chance and I came back with a new outlook on everything.
I'm still learning but I feel my life has started to begin at 25, I no longer dread my birthday and I know only good things are coming once I hit 26.

Hey, this is a good thread, people should join.
I remember I saw the Secret back on 2007. My father brought it home and we watched it together because it was very popular. But we, as a couple of suspicious, skeptic people, were disappointed.
I also grew up with a brother that's a firm believer that life is but God's dream. He's A Course in Miracles teacher, which is kinda like a spiritual path of the LOA, only they believe all desires should be to meet God again because life is just a dream and it doesn't matter. They also believe that all pain and suffering in this world comes from the memory of our separation from God when we decided to have a physical experience in this world.
Either way, he's super happy, he visualizes, and he has fulfilled all of his dreams.
I always wanted to be like him, but I was never fully attracted to the universal Laws. I got on this journey after my lover left me in January. I started in April and I, of course, was in no place to manifest anything. I was unemployed, sad, depressed, and had more limiting beliefs than a third world dictator.
I look back and I really don't like the person I was. I was the guy who thought "Well, yeap, God exist but he just doesn't care about us humans"
I also thought "unconditional love doesn't exist", or "failure is guaranteed", or "success requires a ton of luck".
So I'm so happy that I changed, that I'm on my way to get rid of all those beliefs that have been holding me back, and most of all, I happy I found something to believe in. I feel like it was calling,e all this time because I became passionate.
On April, I tried the Superman game but ended up crying in my bed alone and listening to sad music every couple of days. Then, I just said that I wanted to create a better life for myself so I could also share that life with whoever comes next. So I started reading (and listening) to Abraham Hicks, Benthino Massaron, Rhonda Byrnes, Joseph Murphy, Neville Goddard, and much more.
Sadly, I discovered LOA by looking "how to get your ex back" on Google until Veronica Isles's channel popped up. And well, that surge of desperation changed my life, now that I think of it. Now I'm doing what I love because I created it (I'm a series and movie screenwriter, also a musical composer for the series).

I knew about like a year and half ago by watching the secret but didn't fully understand it.
So I had some knowledge but didn't go depth to it.
So I re-discovered on my third day of the breakup (which to me doesn't feel like a breakup) two weeks ago so starting looking up videos, reading books and talking to other people when it comes about it.
I still learning and I am happy that all of us are here doing this together.

I came across The Secret in 2012. I read the book and watched the movie. I completely believed in it. I just knew right then and there that I am the only incharge of my life. Even though I never practiced LOA because I had everything I could ever ask for, I never felt the need to practice LOA until May of 2016 when I broke up with my boyfriend of 1 and a half year.
I looked up ways to get your ex back and found Law of Attraction yet again. I thought of giving it a go. Now that I truly believed in it, I got my boyfriend back. But what I never understood was that my limiting beliefs aren't fully gone. I was still an insecure person and I still wanted my boyfriend to reassure me after every few days that he will never leave again. So while arguing with him one day, I slapped him because my insecurities were too much to handle. Anyway, we were still together and fine. But those insecurities never left my mind. So what happened? Exactly, he broke up with me in April 2017.
Now that I think of it, I am grateful that this happened, otherwise I wouldn't figure out that I still have so much to change about myself. I have manifested a lot of things with the help of LOA. And I am really grateful that I could find this magical world.

I never knew about LOA until december 2016.
My girlfriend broke up with me in Late september, so of course I searched all over the internet for ways to get your ex back.
And Even bought some of these "get your ex back programs", which of course none of them worked.
I don't know how it happen, but somehow I fell over one of veronicas videos in Youtube around december 27'th.
And from then on I've been reading alot about LOA and trying to live my life through it.
Manifested a couple of small things, but no sign of contact with my girl.
But I have also had alot of fear, doubts, anxiety, disbelief, not completely forgiven her etc.
