Views: 2143 - If You Don't Have the Money, You Don’t Buy It. - by Submitted on Jul 04, 2011 from Marc de BruinSome of you know that I am a born and bred Dutchman. The Dutch are known for many things, good and bad. Together with the Scots, we seem to have the “reputation” of being stingy, penny pinchers and hagglers.

Views: 1507 - Law of Attraction and Diseases and Handicaps: Attraction as Well? - by Submitted on Apr 26, 2007 from Marc de BruinRecently I was approached by a fellow coach from the UK, and her question was –paraphrased- this: if the Law of Attraction (LOA) always works, how come that some seemingly happy people still contract (fatal) illnesses, and how come that some children are born mentally or physically handicapped? ...
