Psychologists, New Age thinkers and religious leaders have been talking about the Law Of Attraction for years, though it gained popularity again when the book "The Secret" made waves in 2006.
The law is simply this: We attract whatever we think about, good or bad.
Oprah is a fan of the law and devoted an episode of her show to how it could change lives.
"The one who speaks most about illness has illness. The one who speaks about prosperity has prosperity," Esther and Jerry Hicks write. "You attract all of it." By focusing on something, you make it happen.
Thinking about something means you invite it in, even if you don't want it.

"When you think a little thought of something that you want, through the Law of Attraction, that thought grows larger and larger, and more and more powerful," according to the book. So keep your thoughts positive.
This allows you to create your own reality by "attracting" the experiences you want to have. You probably brought bad things upon yourself by worrying about them, according to the laws described in the book.
In other words: Listen to your intuition. Instead of overthinking your choices, let your emotions guide you toward what is right and what is wrong. This will result in a more satisfying life.
You can make good things happen more quickly by thinking about them more..
"Want" and "desire" consist of wanting "to focus attention, or give thought toward a subject, while at the same time experiencing positive emotion. When you give your attention to a subject and you feel only positive emotion about it as you do so, it will come very quickly into your experience," the Hicks write.
To make a change, you've got to see things as you hope them to be, not as they are.

This is something that successful people know about. It's also called visualization. Michael Phelps spoke about picturing himself winning every night before bed.
"In order to effect true positive change in your experience, you must disregard how things are — as well as how others are seeing you — and give more of your attention to the way you prefer things to be," the book says.
Finally a positive post. This is one of the best things I have seen you post Barracuda
