The Don't Wants versus The Wants

For most of my life I have focused very much on what I don't want - where I don't want to be, what I don't want to be like, what I don't want to do, etc. - and given very little thought to what I DO want. Those who believe in the Law of Attraction would say that doing this has kept me in the position I am in. By focusing on the things I don't want to be, I have actually been spending time and energy keeping those very things attached to me. I think it is time for a change. I'm changing the old mental tape (it really should be mp3 by now) and making sure I am looking towards what I do want. Let's see if it works.

Yes, you are correct about the law, and I personally believe it works, not because it is said in the book, but because you'll just have a better mental attitude and that makes you more motivated to do what you need to without feeling like its a chore. Most importantly, you'll just feel so much better!

I wanna i wanna i wanna i wanna. That would be a nice chant.

Heehee. Good one Shadowthorne. I think that would be an excellent chant, said in a loud nasal whining voice, perhaps ending in a scream with some drumming heels against the floor. :)
