My daughter took a psychology course and there was a study about people from Asia who received Chinese medicine and they were cured from their ills. And, then they took the same people and gave them American medicine for the same ills and the American medicine "didn't work". Because, they didn't believe it would work, they were use to their medicine. The same thing happened treating Americans with American medicine and they were cured and when Americans were given Chinese medicine for the same things, it "didn't work", because they didn't believe it. When trying new medicines out on Americans, one group will be given the actual medicine and another group will be given a sugar pill. But, both groups are told it's the actual medicine. Some of the people with sugar pills have their symptoms subside, because they believe it.
Maybe Ashley can help me out here :) I don't want to mislead anyone, by saying, just because you think it, that something magical will happen. There's no genie lamp to rub and God may not give us everything we want, just because we want it. What I'm trying to say is that being positive gives us a better chance of what we want to have happen. The Universal Law is the Law of Attraction. What you put out, is what you get back. If you're negative and are expecting the worse to happen, that's what you're going to experience. One man just moved to a new town and he asked another man, "Are the people friendly here?" The other man asked, "Do you often find that people are friendly?" And, the first man replied, "No." The second man said, "Well, then I don't expect you will find that people are friendly here either." So, life is kind of what you make it. You can make things better or worse by choosing to speak positive or negative. I hope I haven't dug myself into a hole :)
