The Secret
Can someone explain The Secret and the Laws of Attraction to me? I understand the general idea that if you think postivily you will get everything you desire. However, I know there has to be more to it.
Also do you agree with The Secret? From what I know, I do, but I would like others opinons.

1. The Secret... The basic idea behind the secret is that YOU are able to control YOUR REALITY by controlling your thoughts.
2. The Law of Attraction... Simply... Like attracts like. If you have a negative attitude you will attract more negativity. If you have a positive attitude you will attract more postivity.
3. Really... There isn't a lot to the secret. You've got the idea. "If you think positively you will receive everything you desire."
4. Do I agree? Yes. Why? A better question would be, "Why not?" What's wrong with having a positive attitude and expecting good things to happen to you? And I've noticed that the people that do have good attitudes and expect to get what they want more often get it, than the people who have negative attitudes and believe that their dreams will never come true.
For example, let's take two of my friends... We'll call them E and M. E has a very positive attitude and expects to eventually get what he wants out of life. That doesn't mean that E doesn't complain sometimes, or that he doesn't get sad, or that unfortunate things don't happen to him occassionally. But E doesn't dwell on the negative. He tries to figure out what he can learn from every mistake and every unfortunate event and how he can improve himself. And even if he's sad... He knows that he won't be sad forever.
Now M on the other hand has a very negative attitude. She complains about just about everything... She is one of those people that you don't like talking to because she never has anything nice to say about anything. Most of the time she is depressed about something and she often wonders if she will always feel this way.
Now let's look at what E and M's lives are like. M lives with her family... Which she really hates because she doesn't get along well with her family members. But she doesn't have another option because she doesn't have a steady income. She doesn't have a steady income because she usually quits her job at the spur of the moment because she is convinced that either management or her fellow associates are 'conspiring" against her. This suspicious attitude is also reflected in her personal relationships. She often suspects that her boyfriend is lying to her which ultimately leads to the death of the relationship.
E on the other hand is capable of supporting himself. He's been working for the same company for about 7 years. He started at an entry level position and through hard work and a willingness to learn was promoted again and again. He is in a healthy happy relationship... He and his significant other even moved in with each other two months ago. While E has some problems with friends and family, he believes that he is loved.
5. How do I apply the secret to my life? Though my life isn't perfect... Instead of dwelling on the areas of my life where I am dissatisfied, I try to maintain a sense of gratitude for what I do have. For example, I'm young and healthy. I have a loving family and friends. I am in a healthy relationship with a wonderful man. I have everything that I need...
When I do think about what I would like to change... Instead of getting upset and thinking that I am doomed... I try to view the situation from a rational perspective. I then ask myself how I would like that particular situation to change. Then I ask myself, "What can I do to bring about the change that I want?" Then I try to make those changes. Those changes are not always easy... But instead of getting down about it, I try to be optimistic. And while things might now always work out how I thought they were going to... I'm usually pleasantly surprised.

I saw that DVD! Yes, I have tried it and it doesn't work for me, but it may work for others. I think you would truly have to believe in it. More to it? Well, you apply it the way they say; think positive thoughts like things were already that way "I am getting that car." or "That car is mine." not "I wish I had that car." or "I'm never going to get that car!" It's positive thinking that will trigger the ripple effect in a way and waves will go out and make what you want happen, which will take time. Basically, it's the idea that if you want it bad enough, you'll repeat that thought, and think about it so much that you will finally get your wish granted.
