I totaly agree with you Woody..
Everything you wrote were written in a book "the Secret" that I've read. It is an excellent book and I wish I could buy a copy for everyone in this planet so they all could learn about the "Secret", and apply it to their life for a bright future where the Law of Attractions will accomplish all; as long as we all think positive, and steer clear of negative thoughts.
Every time one thinks negative, he/she is bringing a lot more negativity along the way: that's the Law of Attraction.
However, when you think positive you are attracting a lot of positive energy around you and you are accomplishing more in your life..
I have never felt happier since I read that book and applied it to my life.
Stay away from negativity, it will only attract more negativity into your life, then you will hate your life.
