Plan for Good- Attract the Good!!!!!

When I wake in the morning, I plan for a good day. My anticipation attracts good experiences to me.

(adapted)

Do you believe in the laws of attraction? Your thoughts, energy, words and actions attract a certain type of people, event, success, failure...destiny. What destiny are you attracting to yourself?

You empower things with your mind and your words, so be mindful today of what you give power to.

Give power to love, success, hope, peace, unity. Give thanks continually to God for each blessing. See the good in people, in trying situations..... See the BIG difference this new outlook makes on your entire being and your destiny.
