Looking for the positive

[Janet]

I think I'm kind of in the middle. I don't think I'm negative although it seems like it in my posts. I'm more positive and I do have a lot of wonderful things and people in my life....like all of you for instance.

Oprah had some people on her show not too long ago talking about a book and a new way of thinking...I think the book is called 'The Secret.' It's all about drawing the positive forces to you. Another book I really need to get...

Janet, yes the book is called "the secret" I watched the show, and enjoyed it, but it wasn't new to me, I have been practising this for a long long time now.


Heres my philosify - positive energy will draw positivity - negative energy will draw negativity.
I try to be grateful for things that happen in my life, coz I know they happen for a reason. Its not always easy!! When bad things happen, I look for the reason, and how I can change, or do something to change the situation. I am by no means saying, that I always succeed, but I try!
I firmly believe in karma, if you do good/bad to others, it will in some way or form turn on you. What you give, is what you get.
Nobody can make you happy, happiness comes from within. I try to live my life visualizing it as I want it to be, so I focus on these 5 things.

1* Relational
2* Spiritual
3* Financial
4* Physical
5* Intellectual

If you look at them, they ad up to wealth, and I know wealth is not all about being rich, and having plenty money. We can be wealthy in many other forms. Without our health & happiness, we have nothing.
