Principal of Attraction

Whatever we put our attention on its attracted to us and its increase in our world. If we do nothing to curb our destructive desires then life become increasingly difficult for us to maintain control. If we develop discernment then we can distinguish between what is beneficial or destructive in our live. Then it is necessary to practice self-awareness of what we are attracting into our lives by our desire. Finally we need courage to take the next step toward wholeness.

Those that are good, seek for friends; that will help you to practice virtue with body and soul. Those that are week, keep at a distance; it will prevent evil from approaching you
