I believe fully in the ability to change your life. I have many times over. The problem with the secret and books like it are it are you can change your life. I was content in my 2nd marriage, I thought that was a bad thing. I had thoughts that came to pass. IT ruined my life. Thoughts do create our reality. Right now I'm working on a dream. I did when I was young but didn't follow through on the steps. I'm seeing if it works now that I'm 45. Opportunities do present themselves. You have to take them. I cracked my brain because I got spun out on all the avenues my life was taking. I'm trying not to the let that happen again. But yes our thoughts do create our reality. But there's more to it than that, and it can quickly get out of control.
