I added a website above that explains more about LOA. Basically Law of attraction is focusing on positive thoughts that brings positive experiences into their life. You can also attract negative things into your life if you focus on negative things. Bestselling book The secret was all about LOA

Basically, (if someone is more knowledgeable please correct me) The Secret is a book and movie that teaches that you can control all aspects of your life with positive thought; more or less any hippie misconception of thermodynamics repackaged and well-marketed.

Here's the book on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Secret-Rhonda-Byrne/dp/1582701709

I HIGHLY recommend you read the book called "Secret" by Rhonda Byrne. It's such an incredible book, i owe my life to it.

check it out : https://www.amazon.in/Secret-Rhonda-Byrne/dp/1582701709

I was in foster care and also bounced around different foster homes and group homes where I was abuse (emotional, physical, and sexual). I was severely obese as teen and in my adulthood - and was often bullied and criticized by other kids and my caretakers... I definitely, suffered with extreme worthlessness and low self-esteem, depression, PTSD and suicidal thoughts/attempts/self cutting - so you are definitely, not alone. I may not know your full story but I definitely, understand what you are feeling.

Honestly, what really changed my life, was my last suicide attempt. I took a bunch of over counter sleep aid and I passed out. I woke up with black blood oozing from my walls and a shadow demon figure jumping around me. I was terrified and I thought I was in hell (I didn't realize that the ingredient drug in those sleep aids cause hallucinations/tripping when taking in large). I definitely, don't recommend that, just letting you know my experience and how that changed my whole mindset.

After that scary/eye opener experience, I was actually happy to be alive for once. Something just clicked in my mind that my past traumas doesn't define me and those traumas don't control me, unless I let it control me. I always saw myself as a victim and I think this can be a down fall with staying in that victim role. Instead, I changed my mindset to think I'm a survivor and I'm in charge of my own happiness in life. I just started pushing myself out of my comfort level and started living life for first time when I was 27. I started weight training; and taking yoga, kickboxing, and pilates classes. I started eating clean food and taking regular vitamins/herbs (ashwagandha was a game changer, it's root that helps relieve anxiety and depression). I started making jewelry, art and started writing. I got a therapist - CBT therapy and guided meditation really helped me, you can find a whole bunch of guided meditation and CBT Therapy advice on YouTube. I got rid of a lot toxic people in my life. Also, I became more spiritual - I used to be atheist where I hated all religions but now, I'm spiritual, non-religious where I respect all religions. I definitely, started focusing on my whole body health - mind, body, and soul, along with changing my mindset.

Fast forward to 31, I lost over 160 pounds, I have a daughter and a good paying salary job where I actually love coming to work. I'm a single mom and I still suffer with anxiety and depression at times so my life isn't perfect but I'm finally happy with my life and glad to be alive!!

Mindset is everything. You are not what happened to you - when you where a child, you didn't have much control of your life... But as adult, for once in your life, you have control over your life - don't let those bad experiences and people from your past control you, any longer. Take charge of your life and happiness. If you have negative people in your life, get rid of them. Forgive the people who done you wrong (do it for yourself, not for them - holding on to hate just drain you of your energy). Eat clean food, talk to a therapist, do yoga/guided meditation, find an enjoyable hobby/activity... Do whatever you need to do, to find your happiness and peace. You are a strong person who overcame alot, so don't give up now. I wish you much healing! If you need more help, feel free to reach out!

Here's some self help books that has helped me:

> The Secret - https://www.amazon.com/Secret-Rhonda-Byrne/dp/1582701709 (definitely look into this way of thinking, it's also called the law of attraction https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_attraction_(New_Thought))

> The Power of Now - https://www.amazon.com/Power-Now-Guide-Spiritual-Enlightenment/dp/1577314808

> What Happened to You? Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing - https://www.amazon.com/What-Happened-You-Understanding-Resilience/dp/1250223180

>You claim it is going bankrupt, but the fact is that is just speculation. Speculation that is great if you want Taiwan to have a for profit healthcare system. Will it go bankrupt? I don’t know. And neither do you.

TIL Mathematics is a capitalist propaganda LOL　The Taiwanese government is trying to tackle the problem as we speak and you're telling me its' a speculation by capitalist HAHAHAHAHA

HOLY SHIT. You can vote? America is fucking fucked

>You call me uninformed yet you keep talking about how you can’t pick up one healthcare system and move it to another place?

Because every country is different? Sorry I was wrong. You're not uninformed, you're stupid.

>What? Why the hell not? What’s with your weird talk about obligations as well? What obligations? America doesn’t have to have as high military spending as it does? Why the hell do you think that?

Yeah I think you're like 15 years old or something. My bad for thinking you understand international politics. You have ZERO ideas about how economic and foreign relation works. ZERO.

"Why should the United States honor the promises made to trading partners?"

Following your logic:

"Why should the United States honor sovereign debts? they can't make us pay it back hurr derr I'm a leftists I didn't go to school and don't know how the economy works"

Also you:

"I'm gonnna vote for Biiden the guy who wannts to honor all obligations and rejooin WHOO hurrr"

>Don’t you think the economy is kind of falling apart in America right now anyway with millions unemployed and millions living in poverty?

Yeah shit sucks when there's a pandemic huh?

>You may say I’m uninformed but in reality you have just been brainwashed into thinking somehow the system that just so happens to work the best is the one where a few people are also able to hold all the wealth. It makes you sound uneducated and indoctrinated, and then turn it on those who fight for the poor by saying we are uninformed, when really you are just playing into capitalist playbooks

Why are you trying to turn America into a socialist country when you can just book a ticket to Venezuela or Cuba? Have fun dude LOL

>It makes you sound uneducated and indoctrinated

Says the guy who thinks The US should just ignore the obligations and promise they made with allies and trade partners.

>This argument actually helped me see something, even if you fell deeper into hate.

I don't hate you. Thank you for making me laugh.

>I did learn that maybe single payer healthcare isn’t the only option.

Yet I'm the uneducated one. LOL

>You sure as hell didn’t convince me republicans reforms are going to fix healthcare in America

Imagine thinking the Democrat will hahahahaha

These are the people who are promising you free healthcare on top of free education on top of free housing on top of canceling student debts.

If you can believe that, you can believe anything.

Go buy this book; you might end up solving world hunger one day.

https://www.amazon.com/Secret-Rhonda-Byrne/dp/1582701709

>I think you believe I am uninformed

You ARE uninformed. You thought it was either Single-payer healthcare or shitty American healthcare. You can be any stupider than that.

>I believe you are indoctrinated

indoctrinated with knowledge I know it's a terrible thing.

>capitalist propaganda

Again, it's easier to move to Cuba than it is to turn America into a socialist country. Just saying.

Oh boy do I have a book for you. https://www.amazon.com/Secret-Rhonda-Byrne/dp/1582701709

Rhonda Byrne

Welp, this is the internet and maybe you should read up on how things work. I don't think I should have to do your research for you, frankly.

Manifest shit? This book might help.

All the documentation you need.

Maybe you need to make a rap video about it. Rap videos are the new "Secret"

So that's where The Secret comes from.

I'm reading a book called, 'The Secret' - http://www.amazon.com/The-Secret-Rhonda-Byrne/dp/1582701709/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1407505478&sr=8-1&keywords=the+secret

The main topic is around power of intuition and how our brains are wired to not think in 'no alcohol' or 'yes alcohol', but just 'alcohol'. The more we think about the subject the closer we get.

Not if it that is all a bunch of bull, but your story reminded me of what I'm currently reading.
