The Spiritual Chicks^SM Speak Out!
Does positive thinking really work?  Try this experiment.

Positive thinking alone will not get you what you want.  You must also speak positively, act positively, and, most importantly, believe that it is possible to change your reality at will.  Did you ever feel as if you’re an actor in a play and the director forgot to give you a copy of the script in advance?  This sense of powerlessness is very common, but it is what stops us from getting what we want.  Ironically, we actually are in control of what we experience through the law of attraction which simply states, "like attracts like."  Want to experience first hand what this means?  Pick a day when you feel like being an actor.  Go the store and act testy, impatient and irritable with everyone you meet.  Notice what happens as a result.  How are people responding to you?  How does the world look to you?  How does your body feel?  What thoughts are you having?   Give yourself a little time to unwind and then go back out and be patient, kind and loving, no matter what happens or who you meet along the way.  Remember, lip service alone won’t cut it, put some verity into your performance.  How do you feel now?  Hire yourself as the director and the scriptwriter and create the life you want to live.
