The book The secret essentially harps on Law of attraction which says, like attracts like. So when we are thinking a thought we are attracting like thoughts. And our thoughts become things. Its just a matter of time. We get things that we believe in, that we hold on to. How far this has been true in your life. Have you achieved things that you have always wanted to achieve? Do you hold onto your thoughts and try to materialise those? Happy believing in your thoughts and happy achieving those.

I agree Zass. And sometimes we dream of things that could never come true. We have to rationalise our dreams. I would only be sad if my dream is to be the queen.

Hi..Mimpi..i believe that as long as my thoughts are pure, and unselfish.. and as long as it does not offend the feelings of others, and added to this these qualities a constant and unwavering effort,if i have.. i am sure that i will achieve what i believe in it. Yeah.. one day or other i will be mastering the share market..and will be earning millions and millions of rupees. ( I have a big plan with the money earned.. but i bet that your guess will be wrong, when you try to decode my plan) Take care friend and have a good day.

This is a subject which has always fascinated me Mimpi and is what made me write about in a different forum. Thoughts do manifest themselves in ways and do travel in a different dimension . But leaving theology aside coming down to earth now, in my recent experiences i have been able to reach a certain stage only because i have been able to hold to positive thoughts. By holding on to them, they have become a sort of focussed direction or steadfast aim. When such an intense concentration in life is achieved our entire self is focussed on getting to that goal and we do most of the time achieve it. Here again caution on 1. Day dreaming and trying to concentrate on things which are beyond our actual reach and are in all realities impossible. 2. The point you make about happy thoughts is very important because the negative thoughts get held on too much more easily and get to do negative things more easily. My personal experiences make me believe that we can get to where we want to by holding on to those thoughts and acting accordingly. That is a great book BTW and enjoy reading it.

That is exactly what I wanted to convey. Happy thoughts is very important to generate positivity in ourselves and around. Negativity spreads the gloom more quickly and we lose our happy self! Focusing on our dreams and thoughts attracts similar thoughts and we fall into a groove which consciously and subconsciously generate our indomitable spirit to achieve that. The days when we think about bleak things we fall into the chain of bleak happenings. On the other hand when we think positive we get to it. The book says that words play an important part in this. We must avoid words of negation no matter what. Like instead of thinking, I do not want to get late we must think I will be in time....

W need to be constantly in the mode of psoitive thinking. "A positive attitude is like a fire: unless you continue to add fuel, it goes out." . And over time we will see the difference.

Hi! Mimpi! It appears true to me that when we start thinking positively and shape our thoughts towards a goal, ultimately we succeed in our mission. To achieve something, our thoughts or say chain of thoughts are the primary steps, till we start building thoughts, we cannot attain the desired goals. Understandably, our layer of thoughts prompts us and forces us from inside to perform a task physically. I would like to say that if I am determined to achieve a certain goal, I start thinking positively and work in the direction of achieving that goal and most of the time I have observed that my determination has brought my success. However, it is not necessary that my determination will start building up every time for attaining my all goals. Certain things are such that I do not easily get prompted to complete that.

Hi mimpi dear! Most of the time throughout my life I have been an optimistic and very positive person. Although there was a time in my life that I have lost faith in myself and the future. However, I am very blessed that I snapped out of it. I have counted my blessings and realized that I have a lot to be thankful for. Almost all the plans and thoughts that I have imagined, planned and dreamed about have come true. I still have a lot of dreams and goals now that I am picturing in my thoughts and at the same time, doing every possible thing I can to achieve them. I hope and wished that soon all will come true. Take care and blessings to you! lovelots...faith

Hi, mimpi!*S* This is something I have made a part of my life. I get up every morning, do what I have to do, then when it is quiet in the house, I open the back door, sit at the table and do my affirmations. It's not just thoughts, the vibrations from the spoken word go out into the universe and come back to you. We had a problem with the plumbing in our house not too long ago. I added an affirmation to my list to include the house being in perfect working order. Now plumbing problems can be expensive to repair. We have a neighbor who is a plumber. I repeated my affirmations every morning for about a month, I guess. One day, the neighbor saw Hubby turning off the water from the outside, stopped and asked if we were having trouble. He came in, took a look, and said he could fix the problem at no charge. I was absolutely thrilled, and realized that the power of positive thinking does work, and can bring us more than just a good attitude towards life. So, yeah, I do hold on to these thoughts, and these wishes, and add each one to my list of affirmations, because it works.

Visualisation is very effective but you need to be careful how you visualise. As an example many years ago I desired for my boyfriend to propose to me so I meditated on an engagement ring. I focussed on it every day and carried a picture of my ideal ring in my purse. Eventually I did receive the ring and it looked just as I imagined it, but because I put too much emphasis on the ring instead of visualising the perfect relationship at the end of the day I was left with the ring and no fiancé; what I should have done is envision the perfect relationship and chances are I would have probably attracted the perfect person for me. The other thing I learned is timing. I visualised an amethyst coloured car and it came to me 10 years later because I was constantly pushing and getting frustrated that my wish wasn't coming true. I think the idea is to envision and then let it go to the Universe and be happy. A positive outlook is paramount.

I think it is very true to an extent. I have been thinking and wanting to buy a house in a particular posh locality which is easily accessible to all the important places in the city like the malls, beach, school and the hospital. It is a great place and it is my dream residence locality. I was patiently waiting and willing to buy a place there only. Exactly fie years back I met a builder who was starting a project in the same area. He took an instant liking on me and ready to sell an apartment for which many VIPs were bidding. I just grabbed my dream. I think my thought has been materialized into reality. Now I have bought another one in the same area and both the apartments are worth four fold the price I paid.

You are right Bala! Our thoughts constantly attracts like thoughts which in turn makes us strive for what we want and believe in. And a time comes when our thoughts becomes real. I am really happy that you could buy your dream house. Hold onto your thoughts and they will come true eventually.

Dreams /anticipations/expectations are things that pushes one's life... Generally if one get 10 he/she will long for 100.. and when 100 gets longing still go for 1000 and then to 10000, 100000, 1000000, 1000000000000 and so on... all are greedy in someway or other... and that's the pushing power/force of life... to limit it is possible but then one could be called as a 'saint/sanyasin' (not in its present day meaning, anyway)or 'nirmama/nissanga'

It happens mostly in me. because when I believe in something I just dont break myself from just thinking of it but rather working to achieve it. For me it is just a matter of mind and action, the things the we want which is real and for real were quit easy to achieve as long as we stick on the reality sides and never exceeding our capability and seld limit.

There is always thoughts of goals to obtain, which is good. But ones thoughts can be negative too at times, and that hinders your goals, so ones positive attitude helps obtain the goals in life.

I have always believe in dreaming big and acting to achieve those dreams. It has been my attitude to push myself into the limits by dreaming big which other person would not event think of. This has been manifested through the contests I jointed. Way back in college, I would love to join accounting quizzes. There was one time that I had to join five (5) accounting quizzes within a week. I believed that I could win all those quizzes. What I did is I prayed and work hard on reviewing and constantly believing I could achieve that. Certainly, I was able to. So I really think if you dream big, work on it and PRAY hard for it, it will certainly come true.

I think I have achieved most of the things I visualized around 35 years ago when I first learned about the Law of Attraction. One thing I didn't get though was my large mansion - but there again, I don't think I really wanted it as it would have been far too big. I know I don't really want one now and prefer just a nice small comfortable house which I have got. - Derek

See there you are! somewhere inside you did not really want the mansion and your thoughts were not that strong enough to transform into a form. I am so glad that you got your dreams. Law of attraction is a great thing!

I have read some parts of The secret,and knew something which has been writen by it.In some ways,I think it said is right,if a person is always pessimestic and don't have a goal in his life,he will not success in his whole life. But the key is the obejective must blance with your ability.If your task is to earn 10 million dollar one month and you just a common worker in factory,how could you do that?I think we should make a clear and possible goal in our future.If it were been achieved,the next one should be higher.
