Thoughts have energy

This is how I see it aswell. But I believe there are things happening subconsciously that are actually causing things to happen. Always could be wrong but positive thinking cant lead you too far from positive.

By "I believe there are things happening subconsciously that are actually causing things to happen," do you mean in our own minds? (Where the "things" happen)

Hah I didn't really say that very well. I think our subconscious actually manipulates the universe in one way or another. Not everything is a coincidence that you may think. I also believe that by training yourself to be positive all the time it also changes your subconscious mind and gives you a little more control over your life.
