Is The Law of Attraction a phase, or a way of life?

As you already know positive thinking is a way of life for me. There is no other way as far as I am concerned. Even the negatives can have positives from them. No fad at this part of town.

Fad, these things come and go with regularity. Tony Robbins, your 15 minutes is over, it's The Secret's turn for now.

Do I believe that any of the hundreds of "positive thinking" systems have any basis in reality? Nope, it works well for the hucksters selling the stuff, but it has never shown itself to be effective on anything but minor personal changes. To believe this sort of thing, you must believe that the millions of unfortunates in Africa, Asia and elswhere are just not thinking positively enough. As so many scholars have pointed out, "the Law of Attraction", "Positive Thinking", Tony Robbins, is simple greed married to a blame the victim mentality. The humourous thing is, after half a cenury of Peale, decades of Robbins, and a year or two of the secret, they still don't have the "success stories" they claim to (there are several reports on Robbins success or lack thereof, its very funny ready, well for we non-believers anyway).

Believe what you wish but I know damn few successful people who wouln't tell you to get your head out of the clouds and apply yourself to the problems at hand. Education and hard work will get you much farther than begging the universe for a living.

In Ancient Greece we had a saying ..SIN ATHINA KE KHIRA KINI ..which means pray to the Goddess Athena but move your butt in the mean time lol..And I totally agree with this..Yes looking at the Higher source, being positive and then applying oneself into the centre of that positive ray is the key to success.
People misunderstand positive thinking as just sitting there and waiting for it all to happen.No..you hold the thought, process it, magnify it and then explode it lol..well that is my way of putting it in a nutshell.
I.e From the moment I applied myself full on into being positive doors of opportunity just keep opening to me..but I am OPENING MYSELF TO THESE OPPORTUNITIES BY being in the places they are most likely to sprout..and come to me..does that make sense?

The Law of Attraction, as the word implies, is a LAW.It is a force that the universe works.It states that whatever you out out to the universe, you reap.It is based on a very sound principle which states "Whenver there is action, there is a reaction".That is how the universe works, except in the case of the law of attraction, it is manifested by the power of our minds, which, scientifically proven is very powerful.

The ability to use our minds to manifest our desires in life has always been the goal of man for thousands of years. Magicians, sages,wizards,sooth sayers and the like have devised methods in order to manifest their desires.Magic, being the most common although in the Far East, meditation and mental training are more commomnly used.

Our minds have this ability but because we only use 5-10% of our minds everyday, only very few people could be able to achieve this.

Hi,

I definitely don't think it is a phase but I think sometimes it is a very big thing to change in your life. For me I feel that I have to wake up and watch the DVD every morning for me to really feel that I am using it in my day. I love talking about the secret and I definitely beleive in it very strongly.

Regards,

Its absolutely a way of life. even before i knew it hd a name i was appying it. now i ahve listened to the audio cds and i love them. i recomend them to all my friends. someone mentioned all the people in Africa not thinking positivey. well, what have they ver experienced that was positive? i think if they learn it they can apply it. i knw for a fact it works. i,ve tested it many many times with always the same great outcome.i have sent a friend who never ever had anything go her way. she never had anything good to say,hated her job,hated her lfe,ect... she listened to the cds and is now a much happier person. she loves her new job,and her new life,and she was a super sceptic! so yes its a way of life. at least for me it is!

I'm trying my best to stay focus on the positive.For some reason the negative wants to really get in the way but im not going to let it take control.

I was SOOOOOO into The Secret when I first read the book back in February. But now I'm back to my old ways. I try hard to remeber the principles but it's hard to change. I do keep the book by my bed and refer to it at times to keep me inspired.

I agree with most of the previous comments - both from believers and not...

What I think (and experienced) is that you have to act for something to happen. We learnt in school that 'for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction'. So if you don't act, then there is no reaction!

I see The Secret as a 'refresher' to our state of mind as it should be. It's a fact that in our daily lives we are constantly bombarded with messages - most of them directly or indirectly negative. Take advertisements for example - they are everywhere: on TV, on the internet, out on the street, in buses... And what is the 'common' message?
Don't be a looser - get this product or service to be better! That's the normal sub-conscious message they have.
But are you a looser in reality if you don't have that thing? I don't think so! LOL!

Well, I think The Secret was done for money, but it still has a good message which is - ACT right now to achieve your dreams... and stop dreaming about them! There's a big difference between wishing something and wanting something!
