"Yes I believe in it. I've made strong friendships on here having connected on a spiritual level. I have also gained financially in the "real world". The power of positivity is something I actively use in therapy work. The power of positive thinking is underrated " I agree with you completely. My only concern is this (and it does not distract from or voids the positive....) If somebody suffers from a terminal illness, there is a potential for feeling they attracted it because they did not think positive enough. And that is not the intention but it does happen. | |||

" Yes it does happen and looking on the bright side sometimes is hard. I’m guessing that with attracting what we put out there is often filtered because we will always seek validation of what we wanted to happen. Negative or positive | |||

"Never thought about it I just do what I think is right and if people like me then great." The law would say if you are treating people well then those people who will treat you well will be attracted to you | |||

" Very true, and a good point. It is possible to be positive but lead a lifestyle that abuses the body though. Or have hereditary disease, or a myriad of other things which affect us physically. On the whole though, positive thinking releases endorphins etc which the body benefits greatly from. As with most philosophies, there will always be some that fall outside of them. | |||

"When you use the law of attraction you have to be very careful what words you use to describe what you are trying to attract. The Universe doesn’t recognise ‘don’t’ or negative words in your affirmations, e.g.; Instead of using “I don’t want to be fat anymore” use “I am fit, healthy and enjoying the increased energy that comes from healthy eating and movement. I’m so very grateful for the motivation that keeps me working toward and achieving my goals. Thank you, Universe.” Say it, imagine it and feel it as though you’ve already achieved what you desire. I think it takes a lot of practice to switch your thinking and get it right, though." A great deal of inner work, yes. You are so right that it doesn’t recognise negative or positive, it just is. When looking to attract people you will only attract the same as you | |||

"The great and the good on Fab might want to use the law of attraction. If your shop window isn’t filled with the things that will attract what you want then you will be bitterly disappointed by your inbox. If you haven’t got the tools in your box to attract what you want then you’ll be equally disappointed. I’m not saying you shouldn’t aim high but be mindful that if you have a 11” cock and you want to attract the women that like micro penises it won’t happen. Equally if the ladies want a meeting of minds not someone that’s visual stop putting the goods on show and attract the men you want with words. Be mindful of everything else you want to attract, a man with a good mind might not necessarily have other attributes you want. It’s really quite simple "Very good points. Be the person you want to attract on fab  | |||

"I'm not sure i do believe in it per se. But if you are very clear about what you want you are more likely to notice it. Or for something like fab, if your profile is very clear and descriptive then when your ideal person does come along they will recognise themselves and message you. If they read it. Whether it increases the odds that that one person will come across the profile in the first place, i remain unconvinced." Yep. Similarly if you're clear in your intent to have a lot of money you will probably work darn hard and have two jobs. | |||

Mainly like most philosophies the idea that if things don't work out it's because you didn't have enough faith. " I’ve not heard anyone say that, in my experience; usually if someone says it hasn’t worked for them the response is that the Universe has something better planned, or that it has worked but not in the way you might have expected. Agreed, that DOES sound like a bit of a cop out, but it’s much gentler so keeps the positivity flowing. | |||

Yes, exactly this, and it’s never taught as just ‘think it and it’ll appear’; by focussing on your positive intentions you’re then in the mindset to work out actionable steps that will help you achieve it, not just lay back and expect it to knock on your door!

That is precisely the scenario I had in mind (and I am thinking of a specific person, too). And there is so precious little you can say or do to help, other than perhaps being there, listen and acknowledge their feelings about things. Feels so inadequate. | |||

Power does come from within. The external is a reflection of the internal. The internal is the one we have control over
That is very much easier said than done in the face of great adversity.
In the face of adversity you how to look at your reactions and understand why you have them. "As I said that's very much easier said than done and in my opinion dismissive of the really bad stuff that some people have to go through. | |||

"I'm not sure i do believe in it per se. But if you are very clear about what you want you are more likely to notice it. Or for something like fab, if your profile is very clear and descriptive then when your ideal person does come along they will recognise themselves and message you. If they read it. Whether it increases the odds that that one person will come across the profile in the first place, i remain unconvinced. Yep. Similarly if you're clear in your intent to have a lot of money you will probably work darn hard and have two jobs. Yes, exactly this, and it’s never taught as just ‘think it and it’ll appear’; by focussing on your positive intentions you’re then in the mindset to work out actionable steps that will help you achieve it, not just lay back and expect it to knock on your door! There is SOME work involved
yes I understand. I just think of it as having a sensible approach to life. If I want something I need to work towards getting it, if I'm nice to people it's likely that some of them will be nice back etc. It won't always work that way but that's how life goes. I don't believe the universe is interested in me as an individual
I see what you mean. I think it’s more of an aid to working on yourself, how you view the world and your interactions within it, for anyone that needs guidance or help getting started.
I think my personal philosophy is broadly the same as yours but I am inclined to believe that most of our power comes from within rather than without.

I am a believer in the Law of Attraction, but I agree with what you’ve said, it’s so hard to do it, when you’re feeling low and everything is getting on top of you. "I know exactly how you feel. On some very strong meds, in fact, but still have the odd crash despite that. I think it’s helpful to remember when you’ve felt so hopeless before and come through it. | |||

I do not believe you can really offer hope by asking them to look inside.... to me that would feel like insult to injury kind of stuff? | |||
