Abstract

The law of attraction is a concept that some people rely on to realize their desires. The increasingly dynamic nature of modern society has led to the Law of Attraction becoming a strategy in individuals' mindsets, motivations, and behaviours, enabling them to achieve their goals. This concept is related to the self-fulfilling prophecy theory proposed by Robert K. Merton in 1948. He stated that a person's beliefs or expectations can motivate them to act in such a way that those expectations ultimately become reality. This view is also held by Generation X, who are insurance agents. This study examines insurance agents' understanding of the LoA as it is applied in their daily work. This study employed a qualitative method, conducting in-depth interviews with three informants who have worked as insurance agents at Company Z. The informants believe that their various achievements are the result of consistent LoA practice. In addition, LoA has also influenced their way of thinking and has become a mainstay of the informants when carrying out their work. This phenomenon demonstrates that believing in LoA is a rational action. However, the method of implementation is not concrete, as it relies on the influence of the subconscious, which becomes an adaptive strategy when facing life's uncertainties. This finding also shows that, amidst modernization, some individuals remain at the metaphysical stage, believing in abstract concepts such as LoA. This indicates that development towards a positive stage of society is not occurring evenly.

Abstract

This study aims to challenge the traditional concept of achievement often defined merely as formal recognition. It seeks a broader and more inclusive understanding of achievement by acknowledging various forms of success and abilities possessed by students. The research methodology employed is qualitative research. Data were collected through three main techniques: in-depth interviews, direct observation, and documentation. Informants for the study were purposively selected to ensure they possessed relevant knowledge and experience on the research topic, consisting of three students, two teachers, and three parents of students. Data obtained were analyzed using Interactive Analysis techniques. The findings of the study indicate that the definition of achievement extends beyond academic accomplishments to include personal development, social skills, and the ability to overcome challenges. The implications of this research are crucial in supporting every child to reach their full potential and in fostering an inclusive and supportive educational environment. Every child deserves recognition for their achievements, not only in academic fields but also in the development of personal skills and values that prepare them for the future, thereby promoting a more inclusive paradigm shift in the assessment and recognition of student achievements.
