you need to improve your heart.
"Out of the abundance of the heart,the mouth speaketh"
"As a man thinketh,so is he"
"It is not what goeth into a man that defileth a man,but what cometh out of a man defileth a man"

Certainly not - despite what the clots responsible for 'Secret' and 'What the Bleep' would have you believe.
Their idea is based on a grotesque caricature of the soi-disant 'Observer effect'. It was a grievous enough distortion even in the (brief) period when it was though possible that Observers really were special.
Since then, however, it's become plain that *any* 'normal matter can do what Observers do - collapse superpositions. So no magic there at all.
This has unfortunately had no effect of the charlatans who continue to charge small fortunes to convince people that they can 'think' reality into the shape they want. Utter rubbish, but there's one born every minute.

There's a saying, "mind over matter".
We have that saying because there IS something to the surprising fact "your life is shaped by your thoughts".
In sports they believe in "positive imagine", with positive expectations actually effecting results!
If you doubt that "imagining a strike helps you bowl", etc., let me humbly suggest that we DEFEAT OURSELVES WITH WORRY "giving it a little extra", turning our wrist unintentionally, perhaps even sending our ball into the gutter, if we lack faith.
In medicine there is a "placebo factor" where some are healed with fake medicine.
In a scientific test of new medicines, an effective cure must "EXCEED the placebo effect"!
In praying, you must BELIEVE to receive!
JESUS CALLED for us to have (at least) as much FAITH as the size of "a tiny mustard seed".

I have heard that when you speak out or say something it may affect your life. For example, my friends mom was in the car talking with her mom on how she broke her leg a second after my friends mom broke her leg. Never say anything bad or else sometimes it will do its job. Like one time my grandma's aunt complimented her so much like your so healthy and cute bla bla bla and then the next day my grandma would have a fever. But i wouldn't say thoughts because sometimes your mind can think of a million of things but saying is different because when you think you cant really control of what not to think.

Don't accept everything you hear or read, check the facts.
Read not only books that you agree with but ones that don't, try arguing both sides.
Play mind bending games and solve hard problems.
Actively seek to be nice, just because.
Don't dwell on the bad stuff, but look at how you can be better.

It's totally true. Our thoughts today are the programming for our tomorrows. Read up a tad on creative visualization. It's the basis behind it all.
Suggestion? Think positive today if you want your tomorrows to be that way also.

Wow, that's a hard one.
It depends a lot on the person, but I would say to love yourself. Even though it sounds corny, it's the truth. when you have accepted yourself for who you are, then I think it shows through everything you do.

THE LORD GOD as HE revealed to a visionary VASSULA RYDEN said A little thought of ME is like a million songs. And if you can not pray ask from your thought the HOLY SPIRIT to come and HE will pray for you to THE LORD GOD. Likewise, our thoughts must always be with THE LORD GOD and as examples: if we see the rain, this shows that every drop of rain and where it falls is bounded by the will of GOD; also, if we see men around us, this shows the image of GOD and they are our brothers and sisters in the family of GOD-with one GOD and FATHER, one LORD and SAVIOR, one
SPIRIT and HOPE, one baptism and Body; and if we see the city of men, this shows more the glory of THE CITY OF GOD that THE LORD GOD has promised us as our final home; and if we see, the poor, the maimed, the lame and the blind, these show the glory of GOD to come to them in the Kngdom of heaven; and if we see our foods, these shows the mannah, the food that comes from heaven; and if we see, the sky, this shows the unending world of omega that THE LORD GOD has prlomised us and prepared for us and etc. THANK GOD; FEAR GOD; PRAISE GOD; GLORIFY GOD; HONOR GOD; LOVE GOD AND WORSHIP GOD.

To know that they are seperate from the thoughts. Thinking you are the thoughts means that you are letting the mind color all that you are experiencing.

Not to be pessimistic and to think that you can do what you want to do. That way you'll try more and harder, and yes that saying is true. To a point.
