to an extent, but it's a little simplistic

Interesting. I'll have to ponder this.
I think it varies, and that the timing in different seasons and pages in our life influences our choices and attention.
Our energy is always changing (our frequency), and so our present energy affects our attractions.

Yeah, it may apply more in business, but the idea was interesting. I think that as Capricorn, or perhaps a Virgo Mooner I've felt this way about love. I have been challenged on that thought, though, and maybe I'm wrong. Then again, perhaps in attracting who I am I'm attracting people with similar potentials that are seemingly hidden from public view.

I think it does apply to relationships and I experienced it personally... Right after my divorce I decided that the best way to "get on with my life" is to start dating immediately. Just seemed like a good idea at the time...lol. I can not even begin to tell you what a bunch of freaks and losers I got acquainted with. Later on, I realised that my reasons for "dating" were anything BUT true desire for love and intimacy. People that I have met were the mirror image of my insecurities and hang ups.

Kamilla, so true...

You have to change up that energy..alot of this makes you soul search. When you continue to meet the same kinds of people believe that there is something in you that attracts those type. That is where soul searching comes in. You have to be big enough to see what you might not like about yourself..I am doing some soul searching right now and it has been very liberating..I will attract only positive things from this point on..

I've given it some more thought, and I do believe there is truth to it.
We do hope for someone who would understand us; our dreams, hopes, aspirations...and who have similiar ideas about seizing life's potential and of inspirations and happiness. So, maybe it's our own focus on finding this another that repels/attracts.

Perhaps as we see ourselves a bit in another it helps us better sense their hidden inner potential that you mentioned, AG. Because we recognize it in ourselves.

I've noticed that as I follow my own natural free Truth more, I seem to attract others who are creative, unique, contemplative individuals, who seem to know themselves well (or are at least very focused on doing so) and are hoping to find a way to live their own Truth freely as they feel it as well.
And they seem a balanced mixture of Freedom-seeking, with hopeful sharing, which is much like me.
