The power of positive thought

Lately I've really been a believer of the power of words and thought. Okay, so I also ordered The Secret but I haven't gotten it yet. I just know that words can come true and I believe in positive thinking and its ability to change things. This week I started saying that work would pick up and I'd do well. Let's say that things went from a certain amount to quadruple that and my work week that I use isn't over. I'm talking a huge change. Sure, it could be coincidence but I have not had a week this good in months and I believe the power of thinking it will happen and believing it will happen really works. Now obviously you might not can think that you will win the lottery or everyone would do this but I do believe changes in your own life with yourself as the primary source...that works. What do you think?
