The mind is a magnet

Never expect a  thing you do not want,
and never desire a thing you do not expect.
When you expect  something you do not want, 
you attract the undesirable,
and when you desire  a thing that is not expected,
you simply dissipate  valuable  mental force.
On the other hand,
when you constantly expect that which you persistently desire,
your ability to  attract  becomes  irresistible.
The mind is a magnet and attracts  whatever corresponds  to its ruling state.

Dr. Raymond Holliwell
