I have to agree with the original thread post here. I recently watched a documentary called The Secret, and the way they put it, made it seem like you could have anything your heart desired, just as long as you thought about it, and imagined having it, day in, day out, and it would eventually come to you.

I came to realize that these followers, are trying to sell their beliefs, just like any other religion. Not with money, but with a media sense. All the stuff you see on TV and books, of course they are going to ham it up and make themselves look good. It's like trying to get a job by pulling the truth a bit too far by putting in things in your resume to "sell" your employment to them. It's all sales and marketing, and what they say shouldn't be taken with 100% belief.

Now me, I found this program not bad. A bit over the top, but it drove me to dive into Dianetics. Again, interesting stuff. I have chose to take bits and pieces of their theory called Law of Attraction, and which means in simple terms, you think or put out positivity, you get positivity back. Like Karma in a way too I guess...you get what you put out. You put out negativity, you get negativity back, and vise versa with positive thinking too.

That's about as much as I took in. I don't think about certain things I want so they come to me, but I strongly believe that if you work hard and stay positive, positive things will come, which you work hard for and pay off in the end.

They make it sound like it will come to you if you sit on your ass all day. No, it won't. It comes to you by you working hard to earn what you want, not JUST thinking about it.

So yeah, that's what I took from it. I try to think positive, and when something negative happens, instead of me getting mad about it, I think how that negativity came to me in the first place.

Everything happens for a reason.
