Right thinking, or maybe Left I never get that right...

The following are quotes from "The Secret".  The numbers are mine, not the book's.

6. People think about what they don't want and attract more of the same

7. Thought = creation. If these thoughts are attached to powerful emotions (good or bad) that speeds the creation
 
8. You attract your dominant thoughts

9. Those who speak most of illness have illness, those who speak most of prosperity have it..etc..

Now I know that some of you are going to look at this and think "heresy" or "blasphemy".  That's okay.  Just do me a favor and think about it.  You attract your dominant thoughts.  What are your dominant thoughts?  What do you think of the most?  Do you think about "what am I going to do if I don't get paid" or "I've felt sick for the past week, and still feel sick" or maybe "I'm so tired"  Do you feel those things?  Do you feel the way you're thinking?  Are you thinking negatively? I know for the past year or 2 I've felt like I've had bad years where things seemed to be going wrong all the time.  I didn't think about the good things that were going on, I dwelt on the bad things.  Did my thinking on those things perpetuate the bad things?  If you look at the above quotes and believe them, then yes I did.

So, what harm is there in changing the way I think?  Instead of thinking negative things, I need to think of positive things.  Also, instead of thinking "I don't want to be sick" or "I don't want to be broke" I need to think "I want to be healthy" and "I want to have enough to cover everything and have a little left over for recreation".  It's a subtle difference in thinking, but "don't" and "can't" are negative words (they contain the word "not"). 

I don't know how long it would take to see if it works, I just know it won't hurt to do it.  If nothing else, I'll be a happier person.
