 Just like the age old discussion of which came first the chicken or the egg, there has been a similar discussion about thoughts and feelings.  Many believe that your thoughts come first and determine your feelings, while many others believe that you can first decide how you are going to feel and then let your thoughts come from your feelings.  Where do you stand on this?

According to the movie “The Secret” you have over 60,000 thoughts in a single day.  How could you ever possibly hope to have control over that many thoughts?  Even if you made the conscious effort to control a fraction of these thoughts, how do you turn those thoughts into feelings?  You would be extremely susceptible to your other uncontrolled thoughts to take over your feelings at any given moment.

In my opinion the only way you can use the law of attraction to bring you what you want, is to start with your feelings.  Your feelings are so much easier to be conscious of and therefore to control.  If you decide you want to be happy, you get to just be happy.  You can then bring happy thoughts into your mind to support this feeling.

Many great arguments have been made for both sides of this discussion.  I would love to hear some of your opinions.  Feel free to share your comments with us.
