How many of you believe in "positive thinking" or putting good energy out- and attracting things you are giving off?

I am a big believer in this- and was reading through some really old topic posts I've made and noticed someone had the signature, "Expect Failure, and hope for the best". If you are expecting failure and putting it out there- you will only attract failure to yourself and fail at everything you do. It's a self defeating behavior. Why even try anything, if you've mentally already set yourself for failure?

Anyways- just wanted to put that out there! I have been completely changing my life the past 3 or 4 months and I'm noticing how much more blessed I am, just for blessing others and putting positive things out "into the universe"..

    in defence...I always plan for the worse and hope for the best, not to put out negitivity but because I have planned for the best and have stuff always blow up on me...it never fails...but, even though things are usually gone awry, I still keep on going right through the wreckage...

    I totally agree.....I don't think it is negative to plan for the worst because if it happens, it is less devastating and easier to bounce back from. I think it is kind of being unrealistic not to and I don't think it is at all putting negativity out, just being smart. JMO...:smile:
