There so many skeptics out there on the law of attraction, etc, and whether you believe it or not, the story you have just told shows that our self-image (i.e. beliefs), influences our decisions! Your friend was making stupid decisions, and then wondering why he had so much bad luck, but his self image was influencing those decisions, many times automatically and sub consciously. This is why I don't like seeing those ads on TV that say, you have a 1 in 3 chance of developing 'this disease', or a 1 in 2 chance of developing 'that disease'. The people (seemingly) who create these ads may say they are trying to help by highlighting the risks, but all I see is decision influencing. I don't want my kids living in fear of getting cancer and believing that they have a 50% probability of getting cancer because some rugby player tells them so on the TV, because this belief influences their day to day decisons, and guess what those decisions are likely to be - ones that increase the risks of illness!! One day, when the understanding of our 'Reticular Formation' becomes mainstream knowledge, I would seriously think that ads like those mentioned above would not be allowed - it would be like an ad on Marlboro showing today! Thanks for the story :) Sean,

A guy a knew used to be the one that got his car dented in the carpark by someone else. His house would get broken into and unlucky things would happen. The bottom line is that he put himself in that spot. He exposed himself to those events and created his own bad luck! He would park the car in stupid positions at times far to close to the next car. He left stuff in full view for friends to see when they came around (he kept the sort of friends that valued their own benefits far above anyone else's. Oh, yeah! And dope smokers do break into each others houses sometimes). He'd leave his house unlocked and everyone knew. He'd lose his wallet and do silly things all the time. He attracted bad luck. We create our own luck. “Why does this stuff always happen to me?”

It was funny because I said to him, you're doing this you know, he said 'what?'. I said Yeah, you're doing this. These obstacles are happening because you're expecting them, which means you're asking for them. 'BS' he said! One day he may awaken, but I still love him!
