Partially, I believe the quality of our thoughts can impact our reality. I think that if you have clear concise goals your ability to manifest them will increase. I don't know exactly how it works. I also call bullshit to this new age concept because bad shit happens to good people who did not "so called"manifest it. It's an interesting topic. Karma makes way more sense to me

Myself, I’ve never read the book but, I have been exposed to the concept through people close to me. Focus, tenacity, hard work, and intestinal fortitude have always worked for me.

The other day, I asked what this was, I’d never heard of it, but it looks like many of you have. I just thought that was funny. You know, in retrospect, it’s not really that funny. Never mind, forget I said anything.

Sure there is, write a book promising you can get anything you want just by wishing it, and BOOM, you will attract loads of money from gullible idiots who want life handed to them on plate.
Badabing, badaboom.

No. It's pseudo science.

Now I can really say.... Yes, what she said !!!!

Yes they worked for me now celebrating 57 years.

I don't see why it wouldn't work? It's not literally meant to change relativity in your favor, but it enhances positivity? Why can't other atheists ever admit positives? I'm an atheist too... Finding enlightenment and changing your life doesn't have to be sanctioned around Allah or Yahweh.

I only know two laws of attraction... gravitational and electrical.... the other stuff is wishful thinking that someone may think it helps. Good for them.

Never underestimate the weak nuclear force.

@Gareth Ahhhhhh... good one !!!! Well, that one and the strong nuclear force, somehow both land within the electrical category anyway.

@IamNobody Well, I was only making a joke, but now I feel the need to clarify that the nuclear forces are not electrical (strictly, electromagnetic) in case someone reads your post and gets the wrong idea. Why is my life so complicated? I never wanted this.

@Gareth ha ha ha ha.... Maxwell would've said that magnetic forces are linked to electrical forces and vice versa, so it's not that far off but strictly speaking yes you are correct

I like the idea of a positive attitude and maybe it does help because when you feel positive you tend to be more willing to take a risk and go for it. When you are negative you just sort of curl up and whine

Well, a positive attitude it's never a bad idea, but the notion that you can get anything you want just by relentlessly wanting it can become delusional. I do believe that we make our own luck, but that's different than wishing without doing anything else.

I believe your "energy" aka micro expressions and body language dictate what is reciprocated to you. Your preparation for events, like a positive outlook does. So, in a fine line, yes, I do.
