I see. Thanks for the clarification. I was responding to a different idea when I originally mentioned your name.
And just for my own clarification on an issue -- I never meant to say (and I don't believe I did) that all of our success in life is because of our actions. Of course that's not true. That would indeed be short-sighted.
I was born in the USA and that fact alone has made it much easier to become more successful (how I define success) than others born in worst situations. The Universe has been around long before I came into consciousness as a human being (who knows what I was before that, if anything, except a cell).
However, there are plenty of unsuccessful people in the USA. Having the "Universe" assist you (or being "lucky") is not enough. We need to be able to act on the opportunities given to us, so in that sense, we are responsible for our successes and defeats, and we can give ourselves a pat on the back. We are given many gifts in life but we need to unwrap and use them.
To John -- thanks, I enjoy your posts too, though ALG seems to like you even more!
I have noticed it is hard to discuss LOA sometimes, because so many people have many different ideas of what LOA is and how it works. From what I've heard from some people, LOA is nothing more than what I would call "setting goals." But from others, LOA sounds more like a magical thing, or something similar to what I call "prayer." And there are many more definitions than those two.
To ALG -- thanks for the links. I have read some of your blog posts in the past. It's interesting that you start a new one every so often, instead of continuing with just one.
