“We cannot hold on to negative energy from the past in forms of grudges, resentments & fears and at the same time move towards our highest potential. Why? Because negative feelings block the flow of positive energy into our lives.” – Toni Turner

The law of attraction predicts: Light begets light, hate begets hate, love begets love… and on… and on. Comparing my life to a football or basketball game. I’ve played a very displeasing first & second quarter full of fouls & penalties. However, during halftime I submitted to the guidance of Coach Wisdom. Complying with this omniscient guidance. It’s now early in the third and fourth quarter with no fouls or penalties being called against me and I’ve been playing so much better. The flow of positive energy is now what fuels my strategies.
