Positive Thinking, not LOA.

I just read some of Chi's blog & this topic came up to which I was going to respond. Then I thought, wait a minute, I have my own blog.

Anyway, this film, The Secret has been turning some heads & some are, unknowingly being taught the secret will, not can, will change their lives for the better without affecting other people's lives.

People will do just that, sit around hoping things will soon be a lot better.

This film has been out now for a few months & I haven't heard or read about any miraculous changes in anyone's life due to this, Not one.

Now anyone who knows me hear or read my opinion on the way to achieve a better lifestyle & outlook on life. If there is any way possible I can turn something into a positive result, I'll do it. I look at tragedy as something to learn from. IMO, most of these occurences do indeed have a lesson to be learned by others or yourself.

The idea of thinking & acting positive is a little getting used to but it can be life altering through practice. Greet people as you walk pass them. Add a little smile. Thank you & you're welcome will come naturally over time. Hold doors open for people. Not just seniors or prominent individuals, anyone.

Think about it every now & then.

What I'm saying is similar to "The Secret". The law of attraction does work, in that smiling does catch on. Thank you will bring a you're welcome. How do we get a losing team to pick up their spirits? The more positive you behave, the more people will respond in kind.

The same works with negativeness. How do riots start? It's certainly not by the crown who is having a good time, enjoying the game, movie, concert & the like.

When you see the world as an opportunity, you will strive & look for these opportunities. When they arise you will answer the knock because you were listening for it. If you are thinking negatively you are looking for & expecting bad things so you will find these things or actions because you were looking for them.

Now, we cannot go around being all happy-like & ignoring life's real issues. We will always have bills to pay. The cost of living is going up. People get sick & people die. We all make mistakes. Natural disasters occur all around us. We deal with life as it happens. It's good to be prepared but not everything goes as planned.

We can however, look at theses real life issues as what they are. We learn from both the good & the bad. How does cursing & swearing help a situation. An even bigger situation when family is involved. When someone dies, we grieve. Then we, IMO, think about all the positive aspects of their past. The worst thing, IMO, one can do when visiting someone at the hospital is to say things don't look good. We don't talk about people dieing or becoming worse. We try & uplift a person's spirits.

When you are looking for a new job, for instance, do you look for the lowest paying job? Do you look for a job where you will be treated like crap? Do you try & work your way to the bottom of a company? I don't.
PEACE
