By continuing to hawk "The Secret," a mishmash of offensive self-help cliches, Oprah Winfrey is squandering her goodwill and influence, and preaching to the world that mammon is queen.
  • wishing won't make it so

    Although it's clear this is quickly deteriorating into the ridiculous, I feel compelled to say one last thing.

    People give their attention to things in may ways -- not simply by thinking about it. People's ACTIONS and DEEDS are also providing the means for the Law of Attraction to work. If you go out into the world with fear and live from that fear and then go home and wish for love, it's not going to happen because you life most of your life out of fear. And if you're wishing for riches out of a concern of lack, it's really the LACK you're focusing on and therefore what you're attracting into your life.

    The Law of Attraction doesn't negate surprises or spontaneity in one's life. And the fact that people wish for things they don't get doesn't negate the Law.
