“What you think you become. What you feel you attract. What you imagine you create”
–Buddha
Buddha expressed that you have a power. That is the power of thought. That power gives you anything you want; happiness, health, and wealth. Beneath you power is the Law of Attraction which states that like attracts like, so when you think a thought you are also attracting like thoughts to you. “Thoughts are magnetic, and thoughts have a frequency.

The Unusual Message Reading the commencement speech “This is Water”, written and delivered by David Foster Wallace to students and their families at Kenyon College was nothing like what I was expecting it to be. I can imagine the listeners that were present were just as shocked as I was when they finally grasped the message he was presenting to them that day.
