The Law Of Attraction

Makes sense it does.

Indeed. Like one of my fave quotes - "A hostile person lives in a hostile world, a loving person lives in a loving world. Everyone you meet is your mirror."

yeah nice quote

this is where i got the first post from -

lots of good info there

I like !

Well, once you accept that this is how your life works, you will understand the need to be positive. i always try to keep positive, and everyone always tells me how lucky i am or how smiley i am etc .. and you know what? you make your own luck and happiness so beleive in what you want and you'll get it

this theory doesn't explain so much... like why good people suffer terrible illnesses, why good people die terrible deaths when all they've done is live positive lives. I've known many positive people who rarely have down days and their lives have ended tragically through no fault of their own (i.e. cancer, road accidents)

it's all well and good to say that you create your own energy and positive energy begets positive energy and vice versa however I think it is very naive to believe that life is that black and white.

truth is some things are out of our control and we need negativity just as much as we need positivity. To not know one means you cannot know the other. Everything needs a measure.

I don't believe it is healthy to always be positive - some situations just don't warrant it. And I don't believe that it's healthy to always be negative becasue that does attract more negativity. Life is about balance and finding what is right for you.

Some people are naturally positive and positive things always happen to them. Not everyone is like that and that needs to be accepted also. True life is what you make it but it is never for anyone else to judge what you make of your life or to bag you for the way you deal with it. That in itself is being negative in a way.

Nothing irritates me more than when something awful happens and people tell you to get over it and think positively of it. You cannot process bad situations if you don't deal with them for what they are. Bad things will happen, you will have to deal with them. Understand that and you are on your way to finding balance.

To me it's all about about balance and acceptance of others methods of dealing with their lives and situations.

To know true happiness is to have known true unhappiness

my 2 cents.

good points mich...


i see what cris is saying and i do agree.... not all the time, like you say, but i could certainly apply a more positive outlook to my life

couldn't we all??!!!

yes , but your talking extremes

the basic thing here is if you have a positive attitude, your life will in general improve as compared with a negative attitude

I completely agree with this , and have seen it in action

it wont stop you getting cancer though

actually my point was that it isn't that black and white. I just started with a rather extreme example. You're right Jase, it's all about striving to be more positive but it is completely unrealistic to expect that because you are positive only positive things will happen to you. Regardless of your attitude there are forces in play that will dictate that negative things happen, like other people, natural disasters etc!

i never siad that if you always think positivley that bad things wont happen...

where/when did i say that??

also this thread isnt supposed to be about DEBATING

lets pleeeese not bring another arguemnt into here

ITS A POSTITVE THREAD!!!

Bad things will happen to even the best of people

So it's best to spend all the time you can with people you love

*sigh* i just bought my thoughts into the discussion. No debate required I just have a slightly different view on the whole thing to some others. Am I not allowed to add that? that's not being very positive!

you're exactly right eternal E and that is how I try to live my life.

That never really worked for Eek the Cat though...

poor guy

LANCE ARMSTRONG - It's no about the bike!

No.. but positive attitude CAN help...

My grandmother just died around 3 months ago... spend 15 years with cancer off and on...

She still went 10 pin bowling twice a week, out to dinner for 2-3 times per week with her friends (all 20-30 years younger than herself) had spend the last 10 years of NYE out partying until the early morning just to name a few tihngs... she was 82!

She never let life get her down, she kept on living... until a very fast demise in the last 3 months... only after she'd seen her first great grand daughter (the only girl child out of 15 boys) that she'd alway wanted get past first birthday!

It might not stop cancer but a positive outlook until the end can certainly make a difference!

I agree with the law of attraction it make perfect sense! Put out what you want back from the world.

Hell yeah.

My view on terminal diseases is if it's a certainty; then don't waste any more of your precious life/time feeling crappy about it. Milk life for all it's worth and enjoy every last breath - doing anything else is just wasteful, and allowing whatever terminal disorder it is you have get the better of you (even moreso).

This isn't the case 100% of the time obviously; physical incapacity and so forth can stop you "getting out and about" - but for a lot of cases time is spent worrying and feeling hard done by when it should be spent doing things that make you happy and saying "stick that in your pipe and smoke it, Death, I'm going to leech all the positive experiences from life and use up every moment that I have left, and convert them into dollars and buy a thousand zombies to pwn you before you can pwn me".

.. ps: it's all serious up until the final half of the last sentence - so just ignore that bit

Looks to me like some people know the secret, and others need the secret.

Is it really going to hurt your life that much to think more positively, the universe is a balance, you put good things out and you'll get good things back... and the same for bad/negative.

the balance is in the energy of the universe, not the balance of yourself. Its about affirmating for the good rather than the bad, and its all about knowing how to ask the balance to favour you positively...

oh he's so cute...

how is he relevant??

i like to think that my glass is half full, not half empty.

soon as you start talking about vibrations - my eyes glaze over

but the theory is sound in my experience

Bad things happen to everyone.....its how you react to these situations which I think is important....I, personally, will always try and see the silver lining behind any cloud that comes my way....what else can you do

Keep sending the positive vibes out there.....one day it just may work, and you'll get some back for free

or you could just be a misery guts and hate life, the whole way through

lol, yeah, its not like you come back to do it all again
