Positivity in a Negative World
Our world seems shrouded in negativity. It bombards most people from the time they step out of bed, and continues until they climb back in at night. Constant bombardment from negativity lowers their vibrations to a point of basic consciousness and leaves them lacking the spirituality to even notice this force in their life. But where does the problem originate? We know that the Law of Attraction dictates that the more negative we surround ourselves with, the more we manifest into our own lives, but what is the original source?
