We all know that in advertising there is a tendency to use over-hyped words and inaccurate definitions to promote a product or an idea. This happens all of the time, even with products that ARE beneficial and produce quality results. With regards to the law of attraction, this has kind of been overdone as to the presentation of it being a scientific law.

So, the question, is the law of attraction a scientific law needs to be answered.

And it can be done with the use of only two words, N-O. No. It is not a scientific law. It cannot be measured in specific terms and there is no standard unit for measuring a thought or an idea. Can we observe that thoughts and ideas have an effect on the world around us?

Of course.

Do we know that faith is essential to success? Yes, we do. However, is there a standard unit of measurement for faith? For confidence? For inspiration?

No.

So, to present the law of attraction as a scientific law is not only false it either shows an intention to mislead or an ignorance as to what science really is. Success is an art. There is no one formula that will produce the same exact results such as 2+2=4. Why? There are too many variables. It cannot be controlled.

Why am I telling you this?

To give you the right information that you need. You see, the law of attraction is an art form. Using it to produce success is an art. If you believe that it is a scientific law, you will not only be approaching it in the wrong way, you will also end up disappointed when it does not work with 100 percent mathematical certainty.

And if you are curious, pick up a science book and look for the law of attraction. (Pick up a real one, not one that is sold in the self help section, only in the science section) Or ask anyone that presents the law of attraction as an exact science, what is the unit of measurement for faith?

They will be stumped to answer that one.

Go beyond the law of attraction. Learn the art that produces success.

If you were putting together a police force, what cops from television shows would you want to have working for you? What cop shows have characters that would be the best to have on your side in the real world? If you were putting together your own police force you would want the best and these 5 fictional characters from cop shows are the ones you’d want.

Oliva Benson

Olive Benson from Law and Order SVU is definitely at the top of the list of cops you would want for your police force. She is a tough cop who has a personal attachment to her cases that makes her relentless in her pursuit of justice. While there is always a concern that too much personal involvement in cases could make a cop unstable or unpredictable, Oliva Benson seems to have just the right amount. Her balance of personal and professional motivations makes her the consummate detective.

Brenda Leigh Johnson

This character from the Closer would be a valuable addition to any police force. Her specialty, of course, is closing cases. She feels right at home in the interrogation room where she always discovers the truth. Her complexity of thought and quick thinking allow her to handle the most difficult cases and to make it look easy.

Lennie Brisco

Lennie Brisco from Law and Order was a character on the series that started all the other Law and Orders. He was a tough cop who pounded the pavement. He seemed like what you thought a real cop might be like. His temper occasionally got the better of him but that was only because he cared so much about his work. Like any good cop, he never gave up on a case and did whatever it took to get the bad guy. He was just the picture of a good, reliable cop.

John Munch

Another character from Law and Order SVU that you would want on your police force, John Munch had the dedication to his job and a desire to find criminals that you would want. More than that, he maintained a sense of humor and although he was affected by cases he was relatively unfazed. You need someone who can handle the tough cases without breaking down and John Munch is your guy. Humor in the face of adversity is priceless.

Chief Wiggum

Okay so Chief Wiggum is the incompetent small town cop from the Simpsons but don’t you want some comic relief on your police force? As long as you don’t give him any real responsibility then you will be fine. This is the guy who makes everyone else look better by comparison. Oh, make sure he doesn’t have a gun either.

These are 5 fictional characters from cop shows that you would want on your police force. Most are there to find the bad guys and take care of business. The last one is there to remind you that at the end of the day everyone has flaws and even though you may not be perfect, you could be worse off.
