The notion of “think positive” has been spreading in the world at a good clip.
We hear this conviction almost everywhere, especially when we are faced with a problem of some kind.
As far as I know, many people have been disappointed from this practice. We all know that one person who wore himself out with daily positive thinking only to find negative outcomes.
I can’t but tackle here the period when the “law of attraction” went really viral. People rushed to start with this daily application in order to gain more money, potential lovers, out of reach careers and many other things we wish to have.
The law of attraction did succeed with some individuals, yet failed with the majority. Essentially what they did was sold us the notion of “think positive” without any further explanation upon the topic.
Why positive thinking works with some yet fails to thrive with others?
