MJ Bashes LOA (Law of Attraction) in his book, but a few chapters later, talks about Choice of Perception. When he was a child, he dreamed about owning a lambo once he saw it. I feel like the choice of perception is the belief that leads you to take action. Isn't the law of attraction quite similar to the choice of perception?

By the way I'm currently a pretty "Successful" slowlaner and I tried my best to get to where I'm at today but ever since I read this book I feel like I've really failed myself.. Is it just me? I am starting to see the cracks in my work, where I recently negotiated for returning to a company because I previously gave them immense value for my experience level. The result? They are no longer in contact with me. Not even a "No, final deal", not even a "Sorry, never mind".

I feel like a king when I work under a company and free to make mistakes and give it my all but when I try to create for myself I feel like such a wimp and it has taken me years to pull the trigger on even looking for an idea to make/ business to create for myself. It's like there's a big invisible barrier in my head that's been built by school and my perfect GPA (which I'm still attending and I'm scared to go back because I might be brainwashed for good, even though they teach very useful subjects). Why is it so hard? Is Choice of Action what I'm missing or is there something else?
