Murphy’s Law is the Law of Attraction
Murphy’s Law says that what can go wrong will go wrong. When what can go wrong, does go wrong, it is because of the Law of Attraction. The Law of Attraction is a principle like gravity that is due to the electromagnetic forces within thoughts and emotions.
What we are really talking about here is beliefs. The law of attraction works to bring us what we believe. Beliefs are just strong thoughts. Both thoughts and beliefs attract experiences which replicate the underlying element in the thought or belief. Beliefs are strong thoughts with emotions reinforcing them, and therefore, you are attracted to and create what you believe.
Murphy’s Law is actually the Law of Attraction. If everything goes wrong it means that you have beliefs that are producing that result. If you change your beliefs, thoughts and emotions in the proper way, the universe will conspire to bring you everything you desire.

Selecting identity
"The ideal self you aspire to be already exists. I am not speaking symbolically. That authentic self is not just an idea, it exists within you now. There are many variations of the self you are within you. I call them probable selves.
"The fact that you have many probable selves that are components of your overall identity and whole self is supported Einstein’s relativity, David Bohm (former protégé of Einstein) and by the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics which is hugely popular among physicists."
