Re: how to make this freaking thing work FAAASTER

Using the Law of Attraction is not a quick fix to your problems. Where you are now is a result of the thoughts you've taken captive and verbalized, even visualized. Proof is found in the things you say about yourself. You say "it's like a cycle; shit happens, negative thoughts, more shit is being attracted, more negative thoughts". This is what you believe, and what you receive. You really need to begin thinking, verbalizing, and visualizing yourself and your circumstances in a positive way.

The thing about escalating negative thoughts is that you are voicing your frustration over not being able to control your circumstances nor the things that are happening around you. But you must find a way to be content, looking forward instead of looking at where you've been or where you are. Life is a journey and you have to go through your situations and circumstances before you get to the other side. If you want to have victory over your circumstances you must find a way to look beyond them and believe in the positive outcome that you want.

So don't look at where you are; look at where you want to be, consistently. Think it, speak it, and visualize it; that's how you will break out. Until you can do this you will continue to be stuck in your "cycle". You didn't get here in a day, and you won't get out of it in a day. But if you can stick with it you will win!
