What’s the Difference between Attracting and Creating, Anyway?

Is it "just" semantics that separates the two words? A dear friend of mine once said that words are all we human beings have to communicate with, so we need to be accurate with them!
The difference between creating our realities, as opposed to merely attracting them, is that creating bears a much greater responsibility. When you create something you are totally responsible for it - whether it is a painting, a relationship with someone you love, a job - whatever it is. Attracting it is more passive, in that what you attract already exists somewhere and you are acting like a magnet, drawing it to you. Creating takes more courage! You are completely responsible for what you create - and that is indeed how we manifest our realities, on a subatomic level, and based on what's in our subconscious minds.
With responsibility comes authority - you can absolutely have what you want, and visualizing is an important part of getting it, but first you must be sure that you have a fertile field in which to plant the seed of your desire: your subconscious mind cannot hold any contradictory decrees or what you want won't appear. If you have a belief that you'll never fall in love or never succeed, or some other limitation, it will prevent your having that relationship or success ... and you need to change the belief first, so you can have it!
