My friend told me this. if we think negative, things will get bad, if you think positive, soon good news will come. some sort of "law of attraction". your thoughts will appear that way, something like that..

i do believe in that. what you think is what you are. the more optimistic you see on things, the better the outcome will be. have you read the book, "the monk who sold his ferrari"? the core of the story is just like that. it is how you see things that will affect your life.

I have heard of this but when you look deeper into it, it is nothing new at all. It all comes back to a belief, if you believe you can achieve something then you can. If you don't believe you can achieve something, then you can't. It's very simple if you ask me. Their is a movie floating around named "The secret" which explains the law of attraction alot deeper then this. But yes that is a law of everything, just look around and study some people, even your friends. Notice how the negative ones are always in trouble or things are always terrible for them, yet the positive ones (not even positive, just people who focus their energy on something like making money instead of focusing their energy on negative things all the time) have a better and more successful life.

LOL I just read Oldbuddies post after I posted mine and he takes it to a further level. Of course that's why he is successful. We could all learn a thing or fifty from him. :-P

I think sometimes we can have a good attitude and make good things happen. Sometimes it seems no matter how hard we try to think positive and do positive things, bad things seem to happen. I do think that what goes around comes around. I try to do good things every day and try to have a positive outlook, no matter what, and just hope for the best from it, even though, sometimes bad things will still happen. Thats just the law of fate.

u call it "law of fate" and i think its a different thing. but i also believe in what you just said that no matter what you expect, sometimes what happens is not the way we wanted. we call it we are loser on that instance but if we keep on thinking positive, still we'll feel we are lead to that way.

I've never heard this saying before but certainly do believe it. When I'm around negative people it makes me feel negative but when I can get someone to see the "bright side" of things they seem to feel better and that in turn helps for better things to appear to happen.

hello, certainly it happens when we attract something negative or positive. so let's put ourselves in a positive wherein it could create happiness to us and to the people around us.

It is absolutely true!!! I have tested it many times. I am postive by nature reguardless of being raised in an abusive home and having a bad marriage. I am positive and creating huge goals for my future.

I know that the law of attraction works. I have compelety turned my lif into the law of attraction. and i must it has been working for me. the dog that i wanted i got, i just won some money the other day. and no matter how many times i look at my bank accout for the first time ever i always have more then enough to do what i want. my website that i have had for months just started taken off. I am making money the way i always wanted to, but "thought" just wouldn't happen. but let me say this. if you start to think positive, start feeling good, just knowing that everything is fine, that life is good. and you never win the lottery or buy a mansion, just feeling good and not worring about everything all the time isn't it worth it?

we are not going to lose anything if our minds were programmed to that. at least, on positive traits, we attract people in our environment.

There is actually a management theory behind this whole thing known as the Pygmalion Effect. It comes basically due to the fact that if people are very positive, then instead of looking for reasons for failure under which to hide, they actually go ahead and do the steps required for success. So it is a very scientific manner of dealing with problems and is not just an hogwash. This happens more when you take a leadership role and are leading a team. During times of crisis, the team look at you as to whether you droop your shoulders or keep your chin up and keep chiselling at the solution. This is what best descibes what your friend told you. Believe me this works. Cheers! Ram

we could attract the right people when we do the right actions
