Yes. What you put out, you attract.
When I hated myself & felt insecure & unhappy, I attracted men who either weren't good to me or were themselves very insecure, unhappy & miserable.
When I learned to love myself & felt confident & happy, I attracted a strong, happy, confident, loving man.
When I thought I was a failure & would never do anything, I was in a rut living in my parents' basement.
When I thought I could succeed & do anything I set my mind to, I bought a beautiful house by myself in a new community & started a whole new & better life.
Thoughts have an energy. People underestimate their power. Experiment with saying nice things to & about yourself for a change & see how life changes for the better.
People in bad relationships, experiencing "bad luck" may not want to acknowledge that they are partly to blame for attracting negative things to themselves...
Happiness is a choice. So choose it.
I'm not saying it's easy! I tend to be negative & it's an uphill battle to be positive but if I can learn, then anyone can!

I don't buy into Dr. Phill or any of that nonsense..
But I believe thinking postively will yield results in the long run..
sure I am not so nieve to believe if I think happy thoughts I will one day be president...hell couldn't be any worse so don't laugh..at least I can say nuclear..
But I believe people..especially men are viewed by their confidence..how they carry themselves physically..how they act around others..
They say if one wants to blend in..he has to act like he owns the joint..
Being sad or thinking your an idiot will only keep you from taking chances..you'll spin your wheels for years before realising you didn't go anywhere.
I'm not saying that we can control out own destinies..but for pete's sake...it's like praying to God to win the lottery and not buying a ticket.
If we don't have the positive attitude..belief in ourselves to take chances..we can never obtain our goals

beware though the trap of surrounding yourself with only positive people. Sycophancy lies down that path and not positivity. You must face the world as it is and maintain a positive attitude and project positive thoughts and words. If you approach the negativity in the world and, by your words and deeds, soften it then you go beyond a positive life and become a positive influence on the cosmos. Aristotle was your guy. He believed that 'the good life' was one spent in pursuit of truth and happiness.

That whole "writing your goals down" is crap.
But it is true, keeping a positive attitude makes life a lot better.
If you want to be happy for an hour, take a nap.
If you want to be happy for a day, go fishing.
If you want to be happy for a month, get married.
If you want to be happy for a year, inherit a fortune.
If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, help other people.

Stop reading that book that Oprah reads called The Secret, if you are. I personally think that a good outlook is helpful on stressful days, but I definitely don't believe that positive thoughts make you have a happy life--sometimes circumstances just can't be changed.

yes i totally agree with that. we all create our own destiny to some extent. we make our own decisions and we control our own thoughts. positive people lead positive lives. its all a matter of seeing the glass half empty or half full.

I think that so long as you are treating other people well and giving your happiness away that your personal Karma will make your life wonderful as well.

Whatever you think about most will be present in your life, no matter if you label it positive or negative.
