Your thoughts are truly things.
It is the programing of your mind that creates the prosperity or lack of prosperity in your life.
If you look at the information that is thrown at us on a daily base you will see the programing in not of a positive nature and your sub conscious retains all of that information and processes it in the same way it comes in, in a negative thought pattern. Most of you watch the news. Test this out next time. Record it news and only watch the positive uplifting parts. Read only the positive sections or the paper and only talk to motivated positive people. You will see that you only watch 2 or 3 mins of the news, read 3 or 4 articles in the paper and talk to 2 or 3 people in a day. The rest is an unhappy, nagging and negative influence on your thoughts.
