Before I answer that, I want to let you know that your thoughts are the most powerful part of you because they form your beliefs. The truth is, a belief is simply a thought that you've had over and over, and over. You've probably noticed some of those nagging limiting beliefs about yourself...you know, the ones ...
Ignore These 3 Facts About The Law of Attraction At Your Own Risk
Has the Law of Attraction failed you? Are you still searching for the magic that can manifest your desires? Back in 1978 I learned about the Law of Attraction when I took a class called Silva Mind Control.

3 Ways To Be More Present
While watching a video by Deepak Chopra, I started brainstorming ways to be more present. He was talking about living in the moment and how the only time is now.

Simple 3-Step Process to Attract True Love
Against all odds, I attracted my true love at age 55. Attracting my true love had nothing to do with luck. It was my clear and full intention to attract my perfect partner and marry again. Frankly, at the time, it was difficult to believe that I could attract my soul mate. But I desperately wanted to share my life with a partner. I was 30 pounds overweight and had teenagers at home.

"You want the truth? he asked while glancing away. "The potatoes were a bit undercooked and the apples ...

Large branches crashed onto dark, slick roads. We couldn't see the car in front of us. The ten minute drive home that night was terrifying. As we turned down our driveway, I noticed a group of neighbors standing in the street and gesturing toward our house. I glanced over and panic surged through my chest. My heart dropped and ...
