"The Secret?"

Has anyone read that book yet, "The Secret"? Basically the gist is not only should you think positive thoughts, but you should imagine good things are happening and live like they will. So an example would be that if you imagine you will find $10 on the sidewalk, and truly believe it, and think positively about it, you will. But the problem is, if you have any negative doubt or something in your mind, it won't happen, as negativity attracts negativity. So you run into many conundrums, for example: You want to lose weight. However, you should not think about losing weight, as this is negative, the "losing part". This will attract more weight to you. You are supposed to think "I am thin", act like you're thin, and imagine you are thin. Apparently when you look in the mirror and see that you have love handles and a fat ass, you're supposed to disregard that.

So when are you thinking positively, and when are you just Mary Alice Sunshine living in Vanilla Ice Cream land? One needs to think negatively sometimes to prepare for bad things. You can't tell me that if you think positively that a tornado will never cross your pass. You still need to prepare for it. But, by preparing for it, are you willing it to come strike you, and blow down your house of straw?

Plus, I have a problem with this anyway, as I am a glass half empty person. And it's full of flat coke, laden with calories, and it's old, and rots your teeth.

Well.. I suppose...

P.S. On the upside me adding famous people on facebook is working! I am now friends with Steven, Sweet P, Rami, and Miss Coco Peru!
