The Power of Positive Thinking 

I have always been a fan of the power of positive thinking, and just intuitively felt that its message is right. To me the positive thinking and the Law of Attraction philosophy overlap with Taoism to some extent.

I always felt that all the criticism and sometimes even ridicule of 'The Secret' is unfair. The Law of Attraction is a philosophy, not a theorem. All the Law of Attraction folks are really saying is that if you are completely in tune with your environment, absolutely at peace and manage to program your subconscious into believing that you already have what you aspire to have, you do. You have to live this philosophy to see whether it works or not. You have to admit that the message of the New Testament is quite similar in some ways, the only footnote being that Jesus added that 'miracles' are here to heal and make you whole. Using them to advance your material goals defeats the purpose: "But seek ye first the Kingdom of God and all of this shall be added unto you". 

The power of positive thinking I live by is that everything is just perfect as is; let the flow of life happen as it should. There is very little for you to do, just compliment, mentor and love the people who surround you and and everything will be delivered to you on a silver platter. Perhaps I would add the one Christian qualifier: you are on a journey home and everything that happens to you allows healing and brings you one step closer to your Source. I guess you can call me an optimist.
