The power of the human mind has been regarded as one of the most powerful in our universe. Just like what most people say, it’s always mind over matter. Just think and it will happen – think positive and everything will be alright. It’s the same as waking up at the wrong side of the bed, and the whole day follows along with it – you being irritated, angry, tired and every negative feeling or situation. But by waking up at the right side of the bed, you end up being productive in work, feeling good about yourself…and everything else. Being optimistic may prove to be very beneficial in our day-to-day lives. It’s thinking that it will be like this and it will be – the Law of Attraction. But this power can also be destructive for us. But exactly how can this be possible? It’s the moment when you become pessimistic.

The Law of Attraction has had many followers and critics over the past years. But what is it? It’s simply saying that you should know what you want, think about it, ask for it, and eventually you will get it. Its roots say that it was from Quantum Physics, and has been popularized by a film in 2006 “The Secret” which was then made into a book. When you think about it for a second, it’s actually making the power of the human mind work its wonders. The Law of Attraction is the power that we all have in our minds – something that we have been using for our whole lives. Have you ever stopped and thought that, “Yeah, it’s a lucky day for me,” and all the things that had happened to you that day were indeed a stroke of luck? Maybe it is, but it’s actually you who put yourself into it. You thought of it – you activated the whole universe to support you into making it a reality. It’s the same when you were wearing that new pair of white pants and some guy splashed coffee on you – and the list goes on that seemingly unlucky day. Why did it happen? Because you started to think that, “oh damn, I guess it isn’t my day today.”

A number of people have adapted this Law of Attraction by putting it into different schools of thoughts & books and areas of studies, such as Napeleon Hill’s “Think and Grow Rich” and even in Theosophy, but all of them come to one point: positive thinking. Though it also received a number of critiques across the world saying that if you just need to know what you want, visualize it et al, then why are there still poverty and suffering in the world? Maybe because, for example, those people who are stuck in poverty had always thought that they will be poor forever – they do not exert any effort. They do not even think that it will be good in the future – they use the power of the human mind in a different way – in an awful way into thinking that there is nothing for them in the future. But you have your choice as you read this – and it would be a great way to now stop, think and visualize of the positive things, for your good and the goodness of the whole society.
