The law of attraction is based on the idea that everything in the universe has a polarity, meaning that everything - from the food you eat to the people you talk to to the things you say to the things you think - contains either a positive or a negative kind of energy. Notice that being with people who complain or rant a lot tends to make you feel bad, even though you're not exactly experiencing what they're going through - that's the law of attraction working its magic. When you focus on negative stuff, then more negative stuff will happen to you.

Forgetting those things which are behind. — Phil. 3:13 WE have here St. Paul's plan of life — progress by forgetting, by letting go, the things that are past. "Forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before, I press on toward the goal." This is such a wise theory of life that we may profitably study it a few minutes. "Forgetting the things which are behind." There are some things we would like to forget. Probably most of us have done things we would give much to leave behind, to blot out from memory, to cut altogether loose from, to bury in...

NOT a great while ago, I was engaged in conversation with a finely-cultured and earnest-hearted gentleman, who had been trained in the old religious faith, and who, I think, is still a member of the Orthodox Church. I found, however, that, in spite of these facts, he was sharing in the discontent, the bewilderment, the questionings, that are touching so many hearts and so many minds at the present time. He had been suddenly smitten with a great affliction,— one that had been great enough and had come near enough to his own life to shock his settled belief, and make him ready to ask the ...
