I couldn’t agree more, Annabel! You are right about sitting around waiting for the Universe to fill our order like some cosmic bell boy!

I suppose the optimist thing is a matter of semantics once again. I have known people who were such unrealistic optimists that if their leg fell off they would look down and say, “My, doesn’t my leg look nice laying there. I’m so lucky to have been able to see it fall off like that. I’ll just sit here and wait for it to come back on.” I agree that looking on the bright side of things is good, but then I would call that positive thinking!

Sweet post here. It’s a huge topic but you’ve done a great job of summing it up. I was just about to comment that you think positive thinking means being optimistic when I saw the name of the article you link to and read it only to see that’s not your point at all:)

Here’s my take:

1. Books like The Secret which sell the power of attraction are a bit of a con. There’s no way that if we sit around saying “I’m rich and beautiful” we’ll become rich and beautiful.
2. If you want to be rich and beautiful you’ve got to work at it. Set up a business, work hard, make mistakes, save hard etc. I won’t go into how you become beautiful because that’s harder to quantify!
3. Negative thinking will harm you. If we allow ourselves to believe the little voices that say: “You’re plain and boring, you’ll never amount to anything.” Then we won’t get anywhere in life.

To sum up:

So I think positive thinking can drown out these negative voices but hard work, passion and perseverance are irreplaceable. And I do think that optimists get more out of life too because if you were a pessimist well, why would you even bother?!
