The secret v/s prayer

Tweet

About a week ago i asked if anyone had heard about the book/dvd. "The secret" we I've been reading it and have been getting more and more confused about how do you do positive thinking with out including prayer or a higher power. and if this works then why do some peoplehave all they wish for and others are still hoping,wanting, wishing, praying and thinking postive. in the end if you use any of this isn't it really just praying. and what made it happen the wishing or the praying????
