Do you believe that we are able to attract what we want (i.e. money, love, success) by our thoughts alone?

rachreece: Do you believe that we are able to attract what we want (i.e. money, love, success) by our thoughts alone?
I have recently viewed a video on this topic and my skepticism is getting in the way of believing it. However, the video spoke about attracting what we want most in life much as science says like attracts like, and that our visualizations and thoughts on what we want, will simply attract those very things without very little effort.

Answer by Mike Hunt
I agree with this. When you think a certain way, or on what you want. Your body and mood, without you knowing, works towards that goal. But it all deals with confidence. If your mind doesn’t believe that it could achieve these goals that they will not happen.

Just as in a fist fight, the person that hesitates will fail. You must commit. Without commitment in the movement then there is no energy behind the attack. Other words it’ll be like an empty brick, it will shatter easily. Yet a solid stone would be harder to break.

Like attracts like sounds like what I have observed in life: if you have money, you attract money; if you are beautiful, you attract beautiful people; if you have trouble, you attract trouble.

Thinking without action creates nothing. I think there is merit in speaking what you want though, even if it is just to yourself.

By your thoughts alone you are alone with your thoughts. Nothing and only nothing happens in a vacuum. Do you believe you are the author for your own thoughts. Think again then think a gain.

Like attracts like? Everything in psysics is a system of two opposites, positive and negative electrical forces…biology, opposite sexs. I think the more superior the species consciousness the more accepting of difference if irrelevant to the social relationship of choice.

Well all actions begin with a thought. Thinking about something is just a tool to initiate the action. Also, we attract what we want or whatkind of people are attracted to us subconsciously. If we think bad about ourselves and think we are not worth while, we will attract people who are looking to take advantage of others. But on the other hand if we think highly of ourselves and have self confidence we will attract respectful individuals.

Here is an example to debate the thought that JUST thinking about something gets you it. If you were locked in a building and JUST think about food does that mean you’re actually going to eat? No.

NO!!!! The way to attract blessings in life is to WORK for those blessings and be willing to put forth continued effort. That is how we attract what we want — and thoughts alone won’t do it. You need action to help those thoughts to fruition.

What you “exude” certainly speaks to what you will ‘attract’. There still have to be work and effort, but a strong personality that exudes strength and confidence may have more opportunity where a weaker/meeker personality may not get that opportunity …… it’s not necessarily THOUGHT alone; there is ‘action’ that goes with it.

If you are referring to ” The Secret”..yes i do believe. I own the movie and i watch it regularly. remember “Whether you think you can or you can’t ..either way you are right. ” Reality is perception. your world is as you perceive it to be. The lady was correct when she said if you think about food it will not just appear, but if you focus on what you want ie the food your mind will open doors to possibilities to get you that food.
