Not "it would be Awesome." It *is* awesome. I know first hand because this is the way I've always thought. Not that life doesn't deliver me lemons. But there's something to be said for the ability to take lemons and make lemonade. Not everyone can do it. Some people take lemons and make sure that everybody knows that the lemons are bitter. Now take those two and juxtapose what you think each of these different types of individuals are going to attract into their lives?
It's pretty simple, even using your example of a cancer patient. What do people who have cancer and are miserable and talk about death all the time attracting to them? What are people who have cancer and go out and talk about life attracting to them?

The problem with "THE SECRET!!!!!" is that it gives people in dire circumstances false hope that can lead to terrible consequences ("Who needs medicine? I'm doing great just thinking positively!").

Only if you drastically misinterpret it. I haven't heard refusing medicine advocated by anyone who ascribes to this philosophy. Have you?
