A little rationality lifts the quality of the debate here. Thanks for ctonriubting!

I agree with you – worrying tends to beget bad things, if only because your attitude changes – you *look* for bad things. You see them where they may not be, and ancticipate them happening. My friend’s mum was like that growing up and she always had a cloud over her life from worrying about so many things. We were constantly warned of the worst case scenario of things…such a downer.
My Dad was always very positive. He chose to see good things, and you know what? When bad things happened…sometimes they didn’t seem so bad. And they weren’t expected, so it was easier to deal with them somehow.
My husband worries a lot and seeing how it keys him up and takes his focus away from life I strive to be the opposite to balance things out.
I don’t know if it works, but *I* feel better

Have I told you lately that I love you?

I have NOT heard that quote before. I also believe in the laws of attraction and regularly preach to my family about bring the negative into their lives.

I have been known to worry and have currently been worrying about my hubby’s job. There is nothing we can do about the situation so there is no reason to worry about it.

Thanks for giving me a reason to let that worry go.

I’ve never heard the thought you expressed worded the way you said it~ but the concept it is attached to is one that I would say is one of those universal truths.

My learning is to give up control of what I want to happen at a set time. I set up goals that I think things should happen in (realistic or not) and then I expect things to happen in that time frame. I have had to learn to let go of the driving some of the time and let time handle things. Otherwise, I stew and fret over things and then, I am counter-productive to everything that should be ‘drawn’ to me.

Being postive that the good will happen is much better than thinking in the negative (even on time-lines) and stopping the postive flow to your life/goals.

And! Ta daaa! Today is my 45th birthday!

I think whatever is going to happen is going to happen. There are some things that no matter what I do are just going to be dealt into my life.

But, I also believe that if you go looking for something hard enough, you’re going to find it. That applies to positive as well as negative.

I think some worries are just normal. How can we not in these times worry a little?

I don’t spend too much time worrying. There are too many things to worry about – I’d be exhausted and boring. What time would I have left to live?

I have heard that quote though.

From the book, “Dancing in Limbo:
“The mind can influence the body, and vice versa. But the mind cannot create cancer [illness] nor can it cure it.”

There are people who believe we attract illness but how do you explain a baby born with illness under the law of attraction? (I have heard The Hicks & Abraham talk about this.)

I used to be a constant worrier. My husband, on the other hand, never seemed to worry about anything. His philosophy? If he could do something about it he would. If he couldn’t do anything about it, there was no use worrying about it. I’ve learned not to worry so much from him.

I’ve heard it but am also happy for the reminder. I am not normally much of a worrier, but I do have my moments. When growing up, if I was worried about something, my parents would say, “OK, let’s sit together and worry about it (or cry about it or get mad about it) and see if that helps.” I got the message eventually.

What a great quote. I have not heard it before. I have never thought of it that way. I suppose that in the past my biggest worry was my health. Fortunately, I think that is turning around.
