this only applies to people that have read a book called "the secret" :) The book says that in order to get wat you want your thoughts have to be positive and you have to believe that you can get whatever you want. It also mentions at one point that the steps in the book can be used for anythyng such as acne (in the book it said "pimple") so how do you aply the steps in the book to acne? It says in the book that if you want to have something you have to act like you have it already but how do you do that i mean i cant act like i already have clear skin if i look in the mirror and see spots on my face :) so i guess i am asking for a step by step explenation about aplying the steps to acne :) thank you

That book is nonsense. It's a pseudoscience.
It doesn't work. It's nothing but a scam to sell books and other products.
The Law Of Attraction is NOT a Law like the Law Of Gravity. Positive thinking can certainly have a positive effect, but it's not a law, and it doesn't work on all things.
The law of gravity can be tested and it always works. When it works differently, we can explain why and the law still holds true. Having a positive attitude, being confident, believing you can succeed are all very good and you should do those things, but it doesn't send out magical beams from your brain that actually change reality around you. What they call the brains 'magnetic signature' and all that nonsense, exists only inside your skull. It doesn't get sent out and it doesn't change matter or reality. Scientists have tested this repeatedly, it's not happening, but every scam artist these days knows they have to throw some sort of 'science' into the mix to make you believe it.
The Secret says that the only reason you don't have what you want is because you are blocking it from coming to you with your thoughts. Which the prefect sales pitch, because whenever it doesn't work the Secret just wags it's finger at you and tells you that you must be 'thought blocking', because the Secret ALWAYS works.
Scientology uses the exact same sales pitch: Our system is perfect, if it's not working perfectly for you, you must be doing it wrong.
It's an incredibly cruel lie.
There is nothing wrong with you. The system doesn't work.
Try telling the 3 billion people on this planet who live on less than a dollar a day that the reason their children are starving to death is because they are blocking food, medicine and clean water with their thoughts. Try telling the man dying of cancer, that the reason he is dying is simply because he believes he is dying. Or better yet, watch the completely crazy man who completely believes he is the president. No matter how much he believes it, and acts like it, aint nobody gonna make him the president.
It's true that sometimes acting a certain way will get you treated that way by others, but that isn't a law. Think about this: If the law of attraction was always true, then every woman who got raped would have been asking for it and welcoming it in her thoughts in some way. That is the logic that holds if attraction is truly a LAW that ALWAYS works.
And not part of Quantum theory has anything to do with visualizing romance or a bigger paycheque. It's hard to even begin to address how ridiculous the Secret is when it's comes to it's lies about what quantum mechanics is.
The Secret is no more effective then a rabbits foot or four leaf clover: It's just good-luck superstition with some false science thrown in.
The Secret is based on simple, old fashioned ideas: Be confident. Visualize success. Believe in yourself and don't let your own thoughts turn against you. But then it takes them way, way too far and turns them into something ridiculous. You can do all that, and get all the supposed benefits of 'the secret' without giving those scam artists your money and being lied too about supernatural effects of brain waves and 'thoughts become things'. It's just not going to cure your acne. ]
