The world is your mirror and your mind is a magnet. What you perceive in this
world is largely a reflection of your own attitudes and beliefs. Life will give
you what you attract with your thoughts. Think , talk and act negatively and
your world will be negative. Think talk and act with enthusiasm and you
will attract positive results.
