The Power of Positive Thought

There is a "Universal Law", called The Law of Attraction. This law is working constantly with everyone and everything at every single second through time. It talks about what you think is what you will attract. Ie. Birds of the same feather, flock together. Like attracts like, etc.

Positive things come to those who think positive things will happen. It is proven, over and over and over again through this universal law.

For some, it might be hard to understand, but if you research it and start slowly putting it into play, you will see that it works. As bizarre as it sounds, it works. I've tried and am continually trying to play my life game with it. So far, so good

There's a book and movie called "The Secret" which talks in detail about it. Very interesting!!

The power of positive thinking works and if it doesn't, it is because there is that little voice somewhere in the back of your mind whispering "failing" words to you.

Check out the movie, or read the book

Do you think a negative thought would be better?

I wouldn't advocate negative thought but I do think there are times when being realistic leads to acceptance and closure which imo is healthier than clinging to hope despite the facts especially in the face of a terminal diagnosis.

My mother verbalized the wish to live; but yet still held hatred and resentment toward others; these are two polar ideas/ideals and two polar entities cannot occupy the SAME space at the same time; ONE has to take over--the one with most power wins. In this case she chose to give the power over to the hatred and resentment; this manifested itself into Cancer (reseachers have even tracked Cancer events to hurts/losses and unforgiveness that has never been resolved) .So she gave the power to the Cancer that took her; the cancer in her mind and heart that she couldn't let go of.

It really makes me sad to read this. I have seen many strong, positive, productive, happy people attempt to fight cancer and lose. Saying they didn't have the will or attitude to cure themselves would be blaming the victim. There have also been scores of nasty, resentful, lazy, hateful people that have lived long, physically healthy lives so imo sometimes a body is just a body, imo.

Again, "we" you and I do not know what is TRULY in another's soul. They may verbalize one thing and believe another in their soul. WE have no way of knowing.

Please correct me if I am wrong but this still sounds like you are saying that since we don't know what is going on inside their soul it is possible that they could have prevented their premature death if only they really wanted to.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I always enjoy reading other's opinions but while I do think attitude makes some difference I don't feel it is as influential as you do. We will have to agree to disagree this time.

"Another school of thought in metaphysics is that "fighting cancer" is NOT the answer--"fighting cancer" gives the mind a negative connotation....our minds have a tendency to focus on a negative---rather than the desired results...... Instead of "fighting cancer"... one should be proclaiming HEALTH.

To fight something is to give it more energy!
