    I agree because what your mind focuses upon, it expands.

    This statement is attributed to Napoleon Hill, 1883-1970, author of the compelling book, "Think & Grow Rich".

    Although in other words, this is basically The Law of Attraction as taught by Jerry and Esther Hicks. I prefer to use the term `` become addicted to the feelings the thoughts generate``. This however may be said to be individually biased depending on type. In other words some people who are more inclined to be directed by their instinctive impulses would become addicted to instinctive thougths, feelings, words, colors. music, or whatever more rapidly whereas for someone else it might be to intellectual messages.

    Cheers!

    nah, I don't buy into the whole Law Of Attraction fad. Sounds like a bunch of New Age hippie nonsense.

    Yes, especially because of the media.
