I was asked the following question: "People do talk about law of attraction....if you think positively....positive things will happen.....if you think negatively....negative things will happen...But then, whatever happen is something pre-decided by Him right? Then whats the role of this positive thinking?"
LOA will help beginning from this moment on. So does all the good thoughts and deeds you do from this moment forward. But you still have to answer for your past deeds in this life and your immediate past life. What about the rests of the 7 births (or innumerable births according to some texts) you had taken? Then you are also answerable for your parents deeds too. Then you are also answerable for their parents and ancestors actions too. All these karma has to be shouldered by you. You are answerable for your actions; you are answerable for your parents actions; and you are answerable for your ancestors actions. Multiply these karma by the 7 past births that you had taken. Its mind boggling and scary, right? Similarly your prodigy will be answerable for your actions; your parents actions and the rests of your ancestors actions too.
The total sum of these karma has resulted in your birth in the first place. It has helped decide the family you will be born in; the color of your skin; it has decided your physical built and form, and mental thoughts; the faith and belief that you shall inherit by way of your parents; the country and region and your surroundings too; all without your knowledge, without you even agreeing to it or having a choice about it.
All these happens because of a law put into place by Erai - the law of cause and effect or Karma.
That is the amount of baggage we have brought with us to this world to be relieved off our shoulders. The Siddhas tell us that the only way to reduce this baggage of karma is to increase good karma, so that the ratio between good and bad would be balanced out and eventually the positive karma will offset the negative karma and the negative eventually becoming negligible or very minute. This is where we are asked to have good thoughts and do good deeds to pave a new path devoid of new negative karma, although we will still have to handle the past karma that has taken form and shape in this present life.

Knowing this truth the Siddhas have gifted us the path of Sariyai, Kriyai, Yogam and Gnanam. While treading this paths we will accumulate positive merits that would help offset the negative karma, and put an end to this cycle of birth and death.
Yes LOA will help provided one is void of any previous and existing karma, otherwise these karma will taint and modify the present outcome of our actions. These can be in the form of delays, frustration, confusion, enemies, disease, sickness, suffering, hard life, poverty, injuries, etc. Yes fate and destiny is in our hands provided we have exhausted all previous karma. Then we begin to shape our lives, otherwise we are subjected to karma and its repercussions.
