If I learn to create love for myself, I won't have to create a terrible relationship where my Self is totally dependent upon the giving of my partner.
If I learn to respect myself, people will in turn respect me.
If I learn to fight an oncoming depression, I have 'opposed' a dark period and created a probability for a lighter one.
I could say that I agree with this view, within limits because I don't know what another persons life lessons may bring to them. I.e. the second example.
I do agree our desires play a part, but I don't think we have free reign with desires if we choose options in the rest of our lives that inhibit them.
The basics of the Law of Attraction is 'will power has a metaphysical component.' Which I can agree with. A lot of the things that then follow I don't agree with as outlined.
