Wow. I didn't know I as so powerful over other people.

I have a blog like that too. I too have strong opinions and I don't pull any punches, and this is particularly tricky in my little country which is ranked No. 140+ in the world for press freedom and a place where freedom of speech can't be taken for granted.

I am genuinely sorry about that. Governments should protect a person's rights, not decide which they can have and which they can't.

Regarding that blog, I am regularly sought after by the press for my views; I get invitations to debate with government ministers on national television; I get people travelling from overseas (eg from Harvard, USA) to interview me; I am mentioned in more PhD theses than I can recall; my blog articles are officially recorded in the nation's historical archives;

and the funny thing is, in relation to that blog, very few people even know my real name.

Anyway, another little secret for you. How did my blog get all this attention, and wouldn't you like yours to be just as widely read?

I used the Law of Attraction on my blog.

yes, everything that happens to you is all because of magic dust. It can't be because of your own work.

Tell me: Does the universe pay by check or cash? If a check, does the universe buy a stamp and put it in an envelope? or does the check just materialize on your dining room table? Which bank does the universe prefer?
