Hello all.

Hello everyone, I am new to this forum and to this LoA, and I figured I'd welcome myself and give everyone a brief synopsis as to how I came about this place. I've been struggling my whole life to find happiness, and recently a few weeks ago my friend referred me to the movie, "The Secret." It changed my whole view on everything in life, because it clicked instantly and it made a whole lot of sense. When I hit my teenage years I hit depression, and that's when everything started falling downhill for me, and a lot of it has to do with my chronic way of thinking. I'm very pessimistic at times, and expect always the worse, so you can only imagine what happens. I believe that I was told this movie for a reason, and it's because I asked for change in my life. I told God that I want change in my life, and he is giving me the opportunity to pursue that. I've recently figured out that nobody can love you, if you don't love yourself, and this is more than 100% true. I've also learned, if you focus on an outcome, whether it be good or bad, even though bad has always been the easiest for me for some reason, it always comes true. So then I realized to myself, I don't focus on the good outcomes because I'm afraid I set myself up for disappointment, and that's one thing as a human I hate, but I'm sure all humans are that way. I came across this website searching on google on different ways to use the LoA, and I'm very pleased to say this is the best place I've come about. I've only known it for about a couple days but I'm already in love with because of all the genuine people here, with strong beliefs and a good heart. I thought I'd introduce myself, and if any of you would like to guide me in the right way, or need help in support for anything, just say so :]
