I ...Thanks Theresa for taking the time to comment. I apologize - it was a bit tacky to advertise on someone else's blog without their permission. I didn't mean any disrespect, however. I realize that bloggers reserve the right to delete or edit content, so I would have understood had the Breathing Prosperity Blog rejected my post. However, I'm glad it produced this conversation. <BR/><BR/>Appreciate your feedback and also for realizing that I am fairly open-minded when it comes to the "self-help" principles espoused by The Secret and other resources. I just have a different take on where those principles come from and how to apply them. So that was what was behind the teleconference invite. Again, I apologize for going about it in a way that didn't seem appropriate.<BR/><BR/>You mention overcoming negativity - This, to me, is one of the main strengths of the personal development movement. We need help overcoming fear along with the negative self-image many of us picked up along the way to adulthood. The most powerful resource is God's Holy Spirit who breathes Truth into our lives. <BR/><BR/>But tools that are based on God's truth - like affirmations, law of attraction, goal setting, focus, hard work, persistence in the face of obstacles, being around positive people, etc - can be used to grow us into vibrant, healthy, mature people. That is my prayer and purpose behind Thought Renewal.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for stopping by. lgpLynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11998346902027037420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13406336.post-12805676226509073102007-02-23T09:50:00.000-08:002007-02-23T09:50:00.000-08:00Hello Lyn... I came here from the breathingprosper...Hello Lyn... <BR/><BR/>I came here from the breathingprosperity.com blog. <BR/><BR/>I realize that your goal was to get people to follow the link to your blog - and that's what I did, so it worked :) - but the 1% of substance and 99% advertisement in the comment put me off. To me, it was tacky and disrespectful. <BR/><BR/>However, after following your link I was pleasantly surprised to find someone with an open mind that's willing to look at several sides of an issue without falling back on stereotypes. <BR/><BR/>Christians and others forget that Christians are not "Stepford Believers," each of us are different human beings with different beliefs and/or levels of beliefs. <BR/><BR/>Right now, I use LOA to help me defeat my negativity - it isn't easy after almost 37 years of immersion in negativity - my tendency is still to strongly slide backwards and into the past instead of looking forward with positiveness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
