Like all of us at various times, his life could be - let's use a technical term here - a 'total shitstorm.'
A headmaster at his school said he would never amount to much.
After college, he was unable get a doctoral dissertation accepted or an academic job.
He had a daughter before being wed, who was given up for adoption.
He got divorced.
He was integral in the building of the atom bomb, but then "became a leader in the movement to find ways to control it."

Still ...
After college, while "toiling six days a week as a third-class examiner in the Swiss patent office," he produced four papers in his spare time that "upended physics." The fourth being E=mc2.
In 1919, after Einstein proposed an experiment during an eclipse for other scientists to test his theories, the New York Times headline read: "Lights All Askew in the Heavens / Men of Science More or Less Agog Over Results of Eclipse Observations / Einstein Theory Triumphs."
Near the end of his life, he was offered the presidency of Israel, which he politely declined.

Some would say Albert Einstein did not practice the Law of Attraction as, obviously, he did not always attract good things.
Some would say he most certainly practiced the Law of Attraction as, obviously, he attracted many good things.
Some would say who the hell knows, but you might as well err on the side of expecting good things because that's a lot more fun. … Amen!
