But I also agree with your hard working aspect...I don't think we can make things happen without action. I think the Law of Attraction got popular from a book or movie or something...I suppose whatever works for you is the best? Whatever gives you the motivation. However we do have to own up - that we control what happens to us...one thing I can't stand are the constant lamenters...sort of a debbie downers! Thanks for the pen tips!

Whether that is because you have thought them into reality or because you worked hard and put yourself in the path of opportunity is (maybe) irrelevant. Personally, I find pep talks INCREDIBLY helpful. If I'm not feeling motivated to work or I am feeling really blue, listening to a motivational speech or reading a motivational book will really perk me back up.

I have always been a firm believer in Positive Thinking, I'm a bit of a Pollyanna-I want to believe that people are essentially good and that if we help others we will get help when we need it too. I'm not sure about the Law of Attraction it seems like a marketing ploy to me and a lot like pop psycho babble. We make our own luck by working hard, learning, growing and sharing what we have learned. I think that with our age of and instant information through technology, modern myths can be perpetuated and given more weight than in the past. We all are responsible for what happens to ourselves. I love how you share your positive outlook through your blog! Oh--you asked me about what pens I use for my doodling--I use what ever I can get my hands on--Pitt Artist pens, Staedtler Pigment Fine liners and Sakura Pigma Microns. Happy Friday! Stephanie Hey Linda! thanks for stopping by my blog and your lovely comments!

Sometimes it's just hard to see it! I agree we do have to open. Personally I think sometimes I do shut out opportunities just because I never considered it possible or an option...

Perhaps it's the start of everything, otherwise you wouldn't be driven to do anything else. I think passion keeps you going no matter what and a good attitude lets you see the future possibilities.

Thanks for your information, I didn't know about the solar eclipse either. I know that a lot has to do with our own thoughts, feelings and esteem...we all do have such power. We just have to learn to wield it perhaps. Thanks for your thoughts and have a great week off! Hi Ana! Thanks for your information, I didn’t know about the solar eclipse either.

I don't know about the Law of Attraction specifically, but my experience has always been that if I worked hard and prepared myself in a certain direction, amazing opportunities would come along. I think a good part of it is being open to the possibilities and seeing them when they come along. I was thinking along the same lines as Veronika!
