The Law of Attraction

According to followers of this law, thoughts have an energy which attracts whatever it is the person is thinking of. In order to control this energy to one's advantage, proponents state that people must practice four things

Know exactly what you want.

Ask the universe for it.

Feel, behave and know as if the object of your desire is already yours (visualize).

Be open to receive it and let go of (the attachment to) the outcome

The Secret book written by Rhonda Byrne is also based on this premise. There is also a notion that universe understands simple sentences and avoid using  "not" in your communication. For example instead of saying "I should not be late", you can say "I should be on time". Similarly instead of saying "I should not fail", say "I should Pass"

There may be many more such notions- I'm not an expert on this subject, but from using common sense, we can infer  a few things.

Clarity brings action and only actions produce results.

If you look at the four points mentioned above, they talk about bringing in clarity in the matters you are dealing with.  Suppose you want to buy a car, once you bring in the clarity about what car you want to buy, other actions will follow - like looking for finance, looking for nearby dealership, booking the car and finally having it.

The next thing is about avoiding "not" in a communication- in the action domain "not" is very difficult to process or understand - for example  if someone asks "what  do you want eat?", if you say "Not Idli" , then there will be infinite possibilities about  what you can eat. Instead if you simply say "Dosa" then it can be served faster and quicker. 

When you say "I should not fail" you are visualizing failure, when you say "I should Pass" you are visualizing success. It is easier for brain to process what you visualize.
