Ronda Del Boccio, Our official Storytelling Expert says:

Did you ever stop and think about what stories you repeat, either aloud or by forwarding an email? What is the message? Here is one I received a few days ago:

You have probably heard or read more than once that stress is bad. You know you should not take things too seriously and that you should take time to relax, but I would like to share something unique with you. Something nobody else has ever told you --

Fulfill the Law of AttrACTION
