The Law of Attraction

Who else thinks this is bullshit?
I can believe this to a certain extent, but everyones goals and addictions might go a totally different way than someone else's, therefore someone has to lose. Also it takes free will and random event away.
I think human lives are controlled and made by two inside sources(addictions and goals) that make us who we are, and two outside sources(other peoples addictions and goals, and random events). The Law of Attraction just states you basically do everything if you believe you can do it.

Everyone thinks this is bullshit, don't waste any more of your time thinking about it.

If it is true then I'm in a lot of trouble.

I'm undecided, sure, it doesn't seem to make any sense scientifically, but many people swear by it, so maybe, at least on a psychological level, it may have some merit.

The entry "you get what you think about, your thoughts determine your destiny." is obviously just a general rule about life and cannot be applied specifically to everything. The concept does have merit, perhaps even scientifically. After all, psychological studies show the power of virtuous and vicious cycles of thought.

6,000,000,000 people swear by the existence of at least one imaginary friend, and most of them are old enough to know better. The number of people who believe in something is never evidence of validity on its own - if it were, you could change the nature of reality just by killing people or having babies until the minority became the majority.

They didn't get to it scientifically, so even if science later somehow finds that 'positive' and 'negative' thinking have actually meaning and that this is true, the people who buy this now will still have been wrong this entire time.
