If you don't know what a STOP LOSS is, it's a term used in the stock market to mean if a stock that you own goes down below a certain price it is to be sold immediately to prevent major loss in the investment. So if you buy a share for $15, and you set the STOP LOSS to $13. When the share price reaches $12.99 it is automatically sold. Turns out that the stock went to $10 per share so you only lost $2. Now on to the purpose of this thread.

I was feeling low so I started writing my thoughts. I got done a few minutes ago. I started to think that there has to be a limit to the LoA, or a loophole or something.

Lets say you want to be doing, having, and being everything you dream of for the rest of your life. But right now you are having nothing, doing nothing, and not being who you want to be. That creates deep sadness, depression, whatever. You have those strong feelings, and you keep saying "Why isn't it changing? Why is nothing working out in my life?" As per the Law of Attraction you should be getting more of the things you are asking and feeling, correct?

Well here comes the problem... So does that mean that you would keep going down in a negative spiral until death? There has to be a LIMIT (STOP LOSS) to it! Either by someone helping you out, or by divine intervention (God throwing a brick at you), but not by themselves consciously. There may be a few people who can realize it themselves, but those are probably few. There's gotta be something that stops it, or there has to be a limit to the negative spiral.

My reason for this is that the stuff in my life I want is taking f%*&ing for ever! I don't see any signs to it, even though I've been taking action for the past 2 years to achieve those things. That pushes me down, and it's hard to have faith that it's coming.
