Yesterday @july posted about the abundance mindset, and it's effects on being outcome based. These topics are dismissed by many due to their nature. Unaccountable and largely not cognitive or effortful, 'mindset' and 'positive thinking' are indeed pretty easy to dismiss. What's the point in thinking about these things, they're not real. It's not tangible. I totally get this. And for what it's worth I don't believe that positive thinking or any other type of thinking has some 'magical universal attraction' property blah blah blah. That's bullshit. BUT.

Weirdly enough I've read most of these books. Master Key System, Think and Grow Rich, The Secret. What I find most interesting about these books is that they still even exist. That people still talk about them and still read them. Right now I'm reading "Psycho-Cybernetics". In psycho-cybernetics (amazing title, right?) the author Maxwell Maltz begins with several chapters on the idea of self-image and self concept. He believes that it's impossible to effectively take actions that are incongruent with your self-image. When you believe you are bad at math, you are bad at math. When you believe you are physically deformed, you act as though you are physically deformed (regardless of the actual state of your body).
