Many Law of Attraction books tell you that your thoughts attract the very thing you think about, that thoughts become things. Well, kind of.
Are you aware there are two kinds of thoughts?
Logical thoughts (or non-ego thoughts)
Ego thoughts
Typical example of logical thoughts is when you think about math. How do you know the total sum of all inner angles of a triangle is 180 degrees? There are several ways to prove this.

On the other hand, we spend a lot of time and energy doing ego thoughts. What will the economy be like? Will I be able to keep my job? Will I have to take a paycut? Will I be able to afford the vacation this year? And if I can’t, what would my friends think about me? OMG, and . . .
