No need to be nervous! No need to be jittery about the Law of Attraction.
For years I have been reacting to irritating text messages re loans, condos, food franchises etc. I kept on forgetting what I learned from M. Tamura:

“When crises arise in your life, they are not due to something inherently wrong with you.”

“Although you may take them personally, situations in your life don’t happen to you. They just happen. And you are involved in them according to the way you respond to [them].”

I have found it hard not to blame myself when: I misplace things; when I get unhappy text messages; when I get negative news in my Facebook News Feeds. I agonize over saying/writing the wrong things. I feel bad over inefficient/poor services.

I automatically ask myself: “How did I attract such things?”

These past 2 months or so, I have been agitated by biased national news as well as by international interpretations of the country’s situation.
