Humor: Self improvement

You may have heard of it? "The Secret" Men don't want to talk about it because they would probably have to admit that they watched Oprah. People who use it are annoying because... well they have all of the stuff they want (or so they say). Ironically "the Secret" has become so popular it can hardly be called "the Secret" anymore can it? By now you are probably intrigued and wondering, "What is 'the Secret'? and why don't I know it?" BECAUSE ITS A SECRET!

Nah... I wouldn't do that to you. The secret is the law of attraction. Basically to plagarized from some guy I saw on the movie version of "the Secret" it is summed up in three words:

THOUGHTS BECOME THINGS

One of my wife's friends let her borrow the DVD and after about 4 months of it sitting in our home we decided that it was time to escape our abject poverty and 24/7 life of mediocrity only owning two cars, two kids and 2.5 higher education degrees. We popped in the video and started learning from some of the world's most famous (I had never heard of them) visionaries, philosophers, psychics, blackjack dealers, and even one chiropractor. They made a strong case that what you focus on you create in your life. THAT'S THE SECRET! It's not that you CAN manifest the things that you focus on in your life. Its that you DO manifest them. The way they put it is that the Universe is like a magic Genie who only says, "Your wish is my command" and gives you what you wish for.
Example #1:
You - I'm worried that the neighbors don't like the color we painted the house
Universe - Your wish is my command
Result - 24 hours later your house is egged
Example #2:
You - I'm so happy. Why? Because today there is going to be some money in my mailbox!
Universe - Your wish is my command
Result - 3 pm the mail arrives. Pizza hut coupons and two credit card applications included
Example #3:
You - A girl that pretty would never like a guy like me.
Universe - Your wish is my command
Result - Pretty girl falls in love with the guy from example two because he can make ends meet.
See how that works? All joking aside I was pretty inspired by this video but I'm a bit skeptical. Over the past 3 years, training to become a Doctor has honed my mind into a shrewd observer of natural and scientific phenomenon. So I applied the scientific method working under the hypothesis that if I focused hard enough on something it would happen. But it's not just focusing... You have to FEEL it! So knowing that I only had one patient on
