the secret and what the bleep do we know.

I did see What the Bleep and I believe the Secret follows those same lines. The authors of the latter were on Oprah and insisted it's not the same as 'positive thinking'. The truth is most of us obsess over our problems and the horrible things that might happen to us. It takes a whole new mindset to keep your focus in line and focus on exactly what you want to attract into your life. And many of us have no idea what we want. It's not enough to wish for wealth and health and happiness. You need to define exactly what each of those is to you. How much wealth? Are you talking cash, stocks, or lots of grandchildren? By health do you mean lack of disease, or the skills of Lance Armstrong? You see what I mean. Also, as Oprah pointed out a few days after the show promoted the Secret, that is only one universal truth out of many. That is only one brick in the road so to speak. You need to be proactive in stating what you want and then moving in that direction. For example, a lot of people want to move, but how many are actually packing boxes and telling all their friends they are job hunting in the location of their dreams? There's a big difference between positive thinking and positive doing.
