The Law of Probabilities: the more things you try, the more likely one of them will work.
It takes risks to achieve. It's often scary. It requires something you didn't know before or a skill you didn't have before. But in the end, it's worth it.
People who don't make goals end up working for those who do.
True freedom is an inward state of being. Once it is attained, no situation in the world can bind one or limit one's freedom.
It's the feeling that really creates the attraction, not just the picture or the thought. A lot of people think, “If I think the positive thoughts, or if I visualize having what I want, that will be enough.” But if you're doing that and still not feeling abundant, or feeling loving or joyful, then it doesn't create the power of the attraction.

Clarify your purpose. What is the why behind everything you do? When we know this in life or design it is very empowering and the path is clear.
As for real chicken soup, I have it once or twice a week.
The Law of Attraction states that you will attract to you those things that match your state of being. If you focus on having gratitude for what you do have, you will feel rich, and you will attract more abundance into your life. If you focus on what you don't have, you will send out a message of lack and you will attract more lack into your life.
I started out as a high school teacher in inner-city Chicago and realized quite quickly that my students weren't that motivated.
