Positive thinking

I know the documentary The Secret seems like a bologna sandwich. Bologna sounds good right about now. I should take a break and fix one then come back ready to go. But I won't. Any way I think confidence and preparation Trumps positive thought any day.

The documentary basically said all you must do is think positive about what you want and viola a magical genie will come out of nowhere and give it to you. Of course us grown ups who value common sense know good and well alot more than positive thinking is needed to make dreams come true.

I don't like negative energy, but it is sure hard to avoid it. The world is basically a ball or flat plane (depending on who you ask) of icky negativity. How can a few positive thoughts change the path of a person's life? They can if they are combined with positive action.

So in closing the Secret is food for thought. Positive thought with nothing behind it will not do very much. Surrounding oneself with positive people, speaking well of others,performing good deeds,exercise,diet, and environment are all essential to a well balanced and happy life full of the things we want.
