isnt it sort of common sense in a way
even though its a bit exagerated... i still think its pretty obvious..think positive and look at things with a positive eye and things will be positive.. duh

[pbradley]

Sounds like a bunch of ego-centric crap.

[SynthethicalY]

Yes, but they are not saying that, they are only saying if you think it enough it will come to you. They never say that one needs to work their asses off to get there.

And by thinking positively, you made the outcome positive? How is this different from praying and getting the desired outcome?

[ALIEN ANAL]

im not saying you get the desired out come, im saying that if your able to flip things around and not look at it in a bad light and a good light instead then you will be positive

and isnt praying all to do with hope anyway, not actually getting your wish granted by the big guy upstairs?

Yes, thinking positively will make you more aware of opportunities than if you are dismissive and negative. But the link says "As put forth in the film, the "Law of Attraction" principle posits that people's feelings and thoughts attract real events in the world into their lives."

well i didnt watch the video and i did say they do exagerate the idea that i said before..i think what they are saying is stupid and a load..but i do think thinking positivly works.
