Thousands of emails poured into Oprah Winfrey's website after the February 8th show featuring "The Secret" and the law of attraction. Many wondered whether it was right for a person to use the law of attraction to direct their lives. Many Christians asked if it was a sin to use this law.
The law of attraction and the bible
The bible is accepted by many to be an inspired collection of historical facts connecting man and God. Throughout the bible, in both the old and new testaments, the law of attraction can be clearly seen in action.
Before we look closer into biblical examples, lets refresh our minds as to what the law of attraction is. This universal law states that like attracts like. On a deeper level it proves that everything in the universe is energy. Since thought is a form of energy, anything you focus on with strong emotional intent, feelings and concentration, you eventually bring into your existence. Like attracts like.
Therefore if you focus or energize your thoughts with pictures of poverty and lack, that is what you attract. If you concentrate your thoughts on health and wellbeing, by the law of attraction you must bring into existence health and wellbeing.
Genesis
The book of Genesis tells a great story that proves the law of attraction. Joseph was a young farm boy when he got a dream of being a great King. Of all of Jacobs kids, Joseph was the least likely to become King.
He was the youngest of the family. He had no leadership skills. Even his father and brothers couldn't see Joseph being a King.
But none of that made a shred of difference because Joseph held the thought of becoming a great leader in his mind so persistently it eventually came to be. Although he suffered numerous setbacks, he held firm to his belief, he held onto that dream until he became the great leader he saw in his mind.
That is the law of attraction in action.
The law of attraction doesn't only work on bring us good. Anything we give our energized thoughts to, and by energized we are specifically meaning emotionalized thoughts, thoughts mixed with strong emotions like excitement, love, fear, anxiety, these will super-charge thought energy and set the law of attraction in motion.
A clear example of this can be seen in Job 3:25 when he said, "Because a dreadful thing I have dreaded, it has come upon me. And what I have been scared of comes to me."
A Christian view
Christianity is based on the teachings of Jesus Christ. In one of his famous sermons Jesus directed his followers to ask for what they want with the faith and belief that they already had it. In fact he said anything that you ask for in a spirit of faith and belief you would get.
Again, this is the law of attraction in action.
A double edge sword
Like the law of electricity, the law of attraction is a double edge sword. It can be used for success or failure. Electricity can light up a city and provide much needed energy, or it can snuff out life. Everything is dependent on how we conform to it's principles of use.
Did God design electricity? Did he put it in place for our use? Can it be used for a good outcome or a bad one? Yes, Yes and Yes! Gravity is a natural law. Yet if you don't use it as it was intended you could fall off a building or a cliff to a disastrous end. However God's intent was for it to serve us. So it is with the law of attraction.
It's interesting to see nature at work. When a seed is placed in the soil it doesn't contain everything it needs to grow and flourish. But by the law of attraction it draws to itself water, minerals and all else it needs to blossom. This is the wonder and beauty of this amazing law.
We as humans have a great ability no other life on earth has. The ability to think. A mind with free will. Yet another gift of God.
You have the power to design your life and the free will to design it as you wish. Just as God intended. What we must all realize is that the law of attraction will not cease to exist simply because we do not believe in it, or we refuse to utilize it. It has always been there and will always be.
Our only intelligent option is to begin applying it for our growth and betterment. Why not use the law of attraction to be a better Christian? Why not tap into this powerful law of nature to praise it's creator? This truly is the only intelligent option.

BEWARE OF THE BLACK HOLE - Refocus Your Management Energies Where They Matter
Although in substantially different industries (environmental clean up, health care, building products, and business performance consultation) our management stories gathered from over a decade were bound by some stark similarities.
Not only have we experienced employees from all walks of life, but we also consistently struggle with how to manage them in a way that fits us, the culture, and of course gets results. I've managed teams across various industries myself and the landscape of people doesn't vary as much as one would think.
My management roles consistently entail providing high-level direction and barrier removal to obtain results. I've remained steadfast in my stance that you attract and breed top people by rewarding their performance with the basics of respect, freedom and trust to start. A win-win situation. Basic workplace expectations entail do your best in all situations, work until your work is done, apply a careful blend of balance, and if the work is not up-to-snuff then you've earned a not so comfortable spot under the microscope.
Our late night discussion rounding out 2010, led to uncovering a strong commonality in teams. A simple representative of this was a team of three I once managed early in my career. All knew the standards I stated above and claimed to uphold them. Yet, the results were anything but standard. One employee blossomed, another just was, and the latter, although failing, seemed all too comfortable with their micro-managed circumstances.
Star: For the "A" player, his work was stellar. His hours were steadfast but ranged in flexibility due to his workload and were determined on his own recognizance. There was mutual respect and trust deriving "a walk in the park" work relationship that was fulfilling and valuable to us both.
Orbiter: In the middle lay the "B" player pulling her weight. She wanted to do her job then go home, nothing more nothing less-an 8-to-5er. Performance met average expectations. And that was that.
Black hole: On the flip side was a seemingly hard worker. He held late office hours. Kept me up-to-date on all the potential projects he was attempting, yet the rest of the team would end up completing it for him. He profusely apologized for his failings, asking for more training, coaching and resources-as his manager I felt obliged to provide. He was difficult to identify as the "C" player for some time with all his premeditated distractions. Smoke and mirrors.
What an energy suck...for me as a manager...for my team...and for the company. Our desired state was being undermined by an individual who was a master at falsifying perceptions and shielding himself by passing blame elsewhere. Don't fall for it.
Outcome
My "A" player thrived beyond expectation. The one who could benefit the most from focused support was the "B" player, yet they remained in stasis. Ensuring this state was the fact that my energies were drawn and eaten up by the constant demands of the "C" player. Typical.
Refocus
The standards supported the culture. A genuine framework administered to all employees equally was maintained. The lesson learned was that the application of one's management style must change to meet the specific type of individual you're dealing with. To identify your players properly, set your clarifying performance initiatives/metrics immediately and manage them every day. Take action.
At the end of the day, as a leader, each of us must stay true to course. You can actively rank your team and focus your energies accordingly or watch it unfold, and ultimately, unfurl before your eyes. Apply your management consistently, but also with the flexibility to move fluidly between your various employees and events. Don't waver in your standards; just find the right way to live them bringing the business at hand, and in the future, to the place you envision.
Hold true to your efforts, but never stop looking for the insights you can use to evolve your purpose and attain the unattainable rewards. Don't let the black holes hold you back.
