Default New to LoA, some questions to ask

Hi all!

I have recently finished reading The Law of Attraction, The Basics of the Teachings of Abraham. It's a fantastic book and in many ways it inspired me to think very differently.

However I'm caught in this dilemma here after switching to a new thinking paradigm.

You see I used to like giving friendly reminders to friends when they are making a decision. I would remind and point out certain cons, drawbacks, or problems that I have noticed and making sure that they have considered very thoroughly about everything in detail before making any decision. Most of the time my advices are solid and welcomed.

After reading the book, I find myself uncertain if I should point out these anymore. Should I just through LoA, think for the best of them, believing that whatever decisions they make will be the best? Because personally I feel that by pointing out all these problems, it makes them think of the problems, and through LoA, they might actually manifest the problems unnecessarily. How would one go about dealing with such a situation?

On the other hand, this is an actual scenario which is slightly related. Just wondering how those who are familiar with LoA might handle such situation.

My girlfriend has recently been invited to join a voluntarily organization, as a chair to a certain event. Now I have known that she hasn't been doing so well in her studies, that she needs to work harder to keep her scholarship, and she made it her plans actually to focus more on studies this year.

Now she is actually a little interested in joining (she is quite easily persuaded, and the president has been trying hard), but personally I think that it's a really bad idea as I think that she needs to focus more on her studies and not being distracted but other things. Also, I was personally involved in that organization last year, and knowing the president of the organization with his abusive behavior, I am extremely reluctant to have my girlfriend getting a taste of it.

So under Law of Attraction (no not under relationship advice), should I be doing...

[A] Visualize her rejecting the offer and focus on her studies.
[b] Talk to her and tell her all the points, try my best to convince her as not to join.
[C] Since the very fact that I'm thinking about the problems are contributing for the manifestation of the situation, I should just stop thinking about it and think about something happy.
[D] Any other ideas?

Thanks in advanced!

But then I know magick. You probably don't.

But I thought this isn't the magic forum.

I have probably gotten her to turn it down. Just that I'm still quite confused if I should give out advices and point out problems to friends like I have been doing.
Not sure if I'm spreading negativity by doing so.
