I watched the movie the secret and I watch it weekly and I am trying so hard to stay positive, then I go back in a slump, crying etc and become doubtful. Has it helped anyone else?

Dogmatic belief in this unjustified notion is irresponsible.
As I responded earlier-- (did you post this same question yesterday?) This concept is not falsifiable, since the contrapositive of "If you want x, you will get x" is "If you don't get x, you don't want x" -- and NO ONE can ever determine what a person "truly wants," not even themself.
But it's absurd to think a starving person in Africa doesn't really want food, and not because he's in a desert and a warzone...
And, as I've said, even though these quantum pseudo-scientists back the notion with their "science," it's nothing but a re-hashing of Hinduistic karma, which appeals to our "protestant," individualistic ideals as Weber articulated.
The fact that wave functions "turn into" particles when observed, DOESN'T MEAN WE CONTROL REALITY WITH OUR MINDS.
We simply treat the wave function qua wave UNTIL we observe it. That doesn't mean we create reality, but that, at the limits of observation, being an observer changes the nature of a particular experiment. The metaphor cannot be extended into your financial goal-seeking.
Totally inaccurate and irresponsible self-help pablum.

Yes, it always works, because that is the nature of ultimate reality. However, it takes practice...lots of practice to learn how to consciously control what you are attracting into your life. You are always attracting, but if you haven't learned to control your thoughts in the right way, you may not always like what you attract. Therefore, there is no real reason to doubt the universe, just work on changing how you think about it, and how you think about yourself.!!!!! Easier said than done, but don't give up!!!

Yes, i believe it, i watched that movie too. I don't believe all of it like if you think you'll win a million dollars you'll win it.. but i do believe that if you're more positive about things there will be a better outlook.
