This article totally depicted the truth. I do not believe in anything paranormal that can change a bad destiny into a flourishing one, but I do believe that everything relies on our perception. I believe in the concept of attraction. Positive thoughts draw positive results, and negative thoughts draw bad energy.
i also believe in the law of ressonance. for some people it is like something mystical or spiritual but no, it's like you say, good attracts good and bad attracts bad. that's how it is and everybody can try it out for himself. :)
