Some say "Opposite Attracts", while others say, "Like Attracts Like, Based on the Law of Attraction". What's the Difference?

I understand that most people have a confusion in this area. I have consulted in experienced life and business coaches. Therefore, I discovered some things about it. I'll show you why and how people can get confused and then I'll explain the differences between them.

Let me give you an example.
In a scenario, especially in a relationship scene, you may have heard or seen occasionally that "opposites attract".  Well, it is pretty true too.

Then in another scenario, those motivational speakers like to say, "what you think or see in your mind, you will achieve it." It means that you will attract what you see in your mind's eye. "It's the Law of Attraction", "Like Attracts Like" so as they always say.

But why this contradiction? and how does one explain?

Ok, I will just do my best to explain the difference of both scenarios based on what I personally learned and understand from those more "enlightened" people/coaches/mentors around me.

When we say, "Opposites Attract", it is more of "Matter".   E=mc sq --> is "Matter" (meaning more tangible)
For "Law of Attraction", it is energy-based. Thus, Like Attracts Like.
