I have had many friends read the book and was expecting something a little more like a business book. In fact, because of the "Master Mind Groups," if that book came out today they would probably put it in the New Age section! <BR/><BR/>Great blog, Leo!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-849347442005677481.post-70841332221781055352007-03-10T14:23:00.000-08:002007-03-10T14:23:00.000-08:00You are welcome.

Hell, maybe even years, who keeps count.<BR/>Napoleon Hill was also a major goalpost on my way to this insight, though I will admit the man strays a bit from the main topic in his book at times ;) Still a good read.<BR/>The modern name for this whole phenomenon is "Law of Attraction", hence the name of my journal.wolfganghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17090326000323474430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-849347442005677481.post-78241524752387880822007-03-10T11:37:00.000-08:002007-03-10T11:37:00.000-08:00Wolfgang, Kamal and Mike ... thanks for the commen...Wolfgang, Kamal and Mike ... thanks for the comments.<BR/><BR/>@Wolfgang: that attraction journal sounds like an excellent idea!<BR/><BR/>@Mike: I've never read Think and Grow Rick (though I've heard of it) but I'll admit that this isn't my original ideas.

It's fun...*oops sorry, needed to edit that :D*<BR/><BR/>Hehe. It's funny because it is true.<BR/><BR/>For about a month now, I am keeping what I call an "Attraction Journal". In it, every day, I don't describe "what happened today" but what would have happened today, if everything were as I would want it to be. And I go all out on that. I go into great detail about work, living situation, house, car, money, relationship, whatever comes to mind.<BR/>Funny thing is, things start to sneak in there that *actually* happened, and sometimes I have a hard time noticing the difference. Just the other day I accidentally wrote "Attraction Journal" entries into my actual journal, and had to read through them a bit to figure out which ones did not belong there.<BR/>It is fascinating, and scary, and at the same time quite unremarkable - stuff just happens, and it's as if it was never different.wolfganghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17090326000323474430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-849347442005677481.post-68185641720844703892007-03-09T23:29:00.000-08:002007-03-09T23:29:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.wolfganghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17090326000323474430noreply@blogger.com
