So, as you indicated, feeling good is the key. :) Ken,

This part of your quote is some powerful stuff:

Think on things that make you feel good and you will act accordingly.

It’s pretty hard to feel good and then do something that doesn’t resonate with that good feeling. So, as you indicated, feeling good is the key. :)

The past is gone, it no longer exists, tomorrow is not here yet so does not exist either. Make today worth something meaningful to yourself and others and be happy that you did.

Whether you want to look at something as "normal" as sticking to a to-do list each day, keeping a positive attitude, or if you want to leap all the way up to the 100% accountability beliefs that power Ho'oponopono, it still comes down to whether or not we are responsible for our lives. Thanks for your comment! Patricia,

The Law of Attraction doesn't mean a thing if you don't follow it with action. Neither does a positive attitude change your world. You are what changes your world. Having a positive attitude helps you do that. The Law of Attraction doesn't take away the fact that we are responsible for what we want changed. Great article.

Attitude is important, but attitude is not everything. Positive thinking does not take out the garbage, it does not pay the bills, it does not keep you alive, it simply keeps you, well…positive. Aaron Potts never fails to disappoint with his writings, and this article is no exception. Positive thinking is powerful, and it can be an incredible tool, but you must always keep your eyes open to all possibilities and examine every angle and perspective possible of any given issue. As Aaron so accurately describes it: Perhaps the biggest problem with positive thinking is that running around with a big ol’ smile on your face like life is nothing but a big vacation is simply not realistic, and having that attitude can blind you to circumstances that are not so positive. I’m not saying that you should go through life with an expectation that something bad is about to happen, but you should go through life aware of the details of any given set of circumstances.
