If you examine your history, or if you keep talking about your past, you can't help but repeat it. Whatever you place your attention on becomes stronger. I know we all think that if we look at our history carefully enough, we can gain control over our present, but nothing could be further away from how things actually work. You can't attract good things by thinking about the not-so-good.

When you focus upon lack in an attitude of complaining, you establish a vibrational point of attraction that then gives you access only to more thoughts of complaint. Your deliberate effort to tell a new story will establish a new pattern of thought, providing you with a new point of attraction from your present, about your past, and into your future. The simple effort of looking for positive aspects will set a new vibrational tone that will begin the immediate attraction of thoughts, people, circumstances, and things that are pleasing to you.
