Of course, we would do well to think positively. But there are still some things that positive thinking will not do anything to change. Like bringing back a loved one who died. Think positively. But there's more to it than that.

Hi Lonn,

I do believe we have the power to create the life we want.  I also believe in negative and positive energy.  Murphy's law was written for people with negative energy.  I think like attracts like.  If you're negative you will attract that and if you're positive...the world is your oyster.

The world has always been my oyster... I never knew the Law of Attraction had a name, but I've always felt that I was particularly blessed and, as I read in Jack Canfield's Book The Success Principles - I am an "Inverse Paranoid - I operate as if everyone is part of a plot to enhance my well-being". Or, put another way (in the same book) "Instead of believing the world is plotting to to do me harm, I choose to believe that the world is plotting to do me good"

Even bad things that happen are all a part of the "plot" to get me where I need to go and to bless me by a forced change of direction.

Jennifer, I've always called my mentality "Reverse Paranoia" - I think everyone's out to help me!

And.... I bet you find that they DO! There's a chapter in my book called "My Guardian Angel" - which is simply about how I always felt a protection over my real estate business, in many ways. Again, I'd never heard of LOA, I just KNEW that nothing awful was gonna happen - at least nothing that I couldn't handle. My Guardian Angel rocks!!!

Positive attitude breeds positive energy which attracts others.  People like to be around others who are positive and can help them be positive.

My mother always told me that what you do to people comes back double and while I didn't understand the mechanics of how this worked and still don't, it does seem to be true.  I wonder if the two concepts are related?
