		<description>I believe Juno is a very inspirational movie. My girlfriend and I went througnh a similiar situation about a year ago as freshemn, we had our little bundle of joy, and i wouldn&#039;t trade him for the world. I don&#039;t dissaprove with the idea of abortion but I&#039;m glad we decided to keep Jay. I love him with all of my heart.</description>

		<description>i think the secert help alot of people think different and it shows how much help is needed in the great usa. there is nothing wrong with the movie and i dont feel it should be called a lie . why? because it has been said and i think proven the things you dwell on you find away to bring them to pass. now i will say that the movie made things seem easy and fast like the bike be stolen well the 2 locks atracted more and maybe when the crook  saw it or the bike with the single lock .then the crooks thinks ishow him 2 locks or this will be a good thing to tell my friends but for sure the 2 locks atracts more attation. but the film never says or emplies to not think about safty. just to be cool and not dwell and freat over it.
 i never think about bad stuff but i do dwell on my dept all the time now i still work and i keep a better recond of it so i don&#039;t waste time thinking about it but if i get extra money i can then go to the books and seee what is the best way to use the money i just got and yes i do think about mailbox money and i look for it also i look for forpeople to just give it to me . Why because it has happened to others
  I used to live it a house in a nice subdevision for familys . i was always saying i was someday going to have a place with a little more land and more private . well i lost my job and house but my daughter was married and my son was in his 2nd year of high school so we didnt have to find a place out of the area a family let us share thier house we got a house but it was rented in the same school area now i make more money and again we own our land and home on 3.5 acres trees all around but it is a very high traffic and yet very private i didnt know i was going to lose my job but things happened and i feelGod use the bad andmade good come to pass but because this is what i was always saying i got it now i say things a little more carefull and i try to think it out before i make a life statement.
 anyway i dont think anyone should come down to hard on a old way brought out new but i think if and when they start teaching it has the way to get God to forgive you then that will be bad . But just to think better and not to dwell on bad side great nitch in life</description>

		<description>First and foremost, let me acknowledge that the mind is a very very powerful thing. It is pretty amazing to think that the way each persons mind perceives things is that person&#039;s reality, full stop. In this same vein, I agree with the article&#039;s author in acquiescing that negative thoughts can, in a cause and effect way, affect one negatively or lead to negative actions. By that same token positive thinking CAN positively affect one&#039;s life. Take for example a person who has failed at accomplishing his or her goal many times, but each time after failure gets up and has a positive attitude that they can succeed. As a result this person continues to try and attempt to be successful. But to be honest these things are no &quot;secret&quot; and certainly less revolutionary than a bestselling book may have you believe. They are simply well-known cornerstones of success, hardwork and determination. 

So for brevity, I do not believe that your thoughts can directly affect other people around you, but i do believe that your thoughts can affect you and your perceived reality, which in turn can affect how you act in the physical world, which in turn can affect other people around you. 

I think the controversy behind &quot;The secret&quot; comes from trying to further simplify an already simple concept, by taking out a logical and undisputable step in the process of how thinking affects you and others. Namely it should simply be caveated with this statement: your thoughts affect you, and you can affect others around you.</description>
