The next evening, I went in to take test and felt even more ready than I had been when I took oral one. For some reason, answers seem to come easier for me. When I left that room after exam, I came out with a wonderful feeling of accomplishment.

As a person with learning disabilities, I had to have courage to continue on, determination to prove to others and myself that I could do anything I put my mind to, and confidence in myself as well. Without these things I never would have gotten a grade of 105 on test and passed course with a B+.

One thing I have learned over years is this: Do not give up on yourself, no matter what. You just need to keep telling yourself, "I can do this". The more you tell yourself this, more you will begin to believe it. And more you will do.

As you suspect, and probably have already experienced yourself, she didn't even hear message. She continued right back into her story. My immediate and last comment was, "I hope you have a wonderful life and sometime soon learn to see that you're choices are what you are attracting." Not waiting for a response, I quickly turned and left restaurant.

As I sat in car, I asked myself, how in heck did I attract this energy? And in ladies room of all places? I wasn't radiating anything negative, was I? The answer from universe arrived immediately. It directed me towards my story that I wrote. When rereading, my attention was drawn to number of "don'ts" in article. They were every other sentence it seemed. Then I turned to other articles I had written at earlier in my notebook. The "don'ts" were many. Embarrassingly many.

Tracing my thoughts to when my energy had changed, I realized that it shifted when I started reading other people’s ezines that I brought along. I saw it as clearly as sun rising on this morning’s horizon. All don'ts that people were writing in order to try to sell their products or services. My energy level began to shift with reading. It continued to spiral into my writing. Their attraction to negative words moved into my use of negative words. How this and that was hard...finding target market was hard...and list went on.

This in turn created me to write in that same tone. My lesson -- be fully aware of what I was reading and its influence on my energy and my writing.

As I look back, I see patterns of where this occurred more than once. And as I continue to trace further, I also remember what I was reading.

If it wasn't for this experience, this negative encounter, I may not have seen this at all. I like to think I would have seen it anyway but in reality, probably not.

Yes, yes, yes. I do wish I had caught it earlier. But let’s not go there, huh. That will zap energy of this story for sure.

The point is, be glad negative people are being attracted to you. Be aware of their appearance. Ask what is radiating from you that attracted them. Be fly zapper at a picnic and ask why your light was on that attracted fly. See any patterns and quickly make any adjustments.

Rest assuredly, that when you are no longer radiating negative energy, you will not attract those negative experiences or people. I promise this to you based on experience.

I also always recommend that you share your experience, through writing, speaking engagements, or just with friends and family. There are three people waiting to listen and learn from valuable lesson.
