The Secret Of The Law Of Attraction

When using the secret (law of attraction) how often must i think of the thing i want?
im trying to attract someone that i know, who has gone away, back into my life, how often during the day should i be thinking and wanting and feeling him coming back to me?
It has been my understanding that The Law Of Attraction doesn’t exactly work to attract a particular person. See, the person that you are trying to attract to you also is trying to attract things to his/herself as well. We cannot use this this law to manipulate other people. However, if it is love or a friendship that you are trying to attract, then the law can definitely be of assistance to you. We just can’t be picky about the who and the when/ how it is delivered. This law is constantly working in our lives, whether we know it or not, but to use it deliberately takes some study about the workings of it. I do not have the time or space her for all of that!!
I will leave you with a tip though regarding your question, what you attract is the sum of your thoughts, emotions, and faith in the process, and you must visualize what it is you want as if you already have it. You must find the “feeling” of already having it. This is what you must have as the predominant thoughts around that which you are wanting. But you cannot doubt that it is on the way at all. This law has worked for me like magic in every area of my life, but you must have the belief that it works. It takes alot of practice and patience, but after you have worked with it for a while, it becomes easier and works faster!
Hope this helps! Good Luck!
