These are not my words. However, i would like to share this with you and maybe help you understand why ceratain things happen in your life. The good thing about this is that you do not have to believe. Your believe system is respected.
"On some level you are in control of every scenario you experience. For example, you may say, “I wouldn’t choose to be hit by a car, why would I choose that specific thing?” When we say you choose your reality, we do not literally mean that you specifically choose a particular way it will manifest. What we are talking about is that your belief systems and whatever emotions are strongest within you, will draw to you the type of physical experience that most precisely represents the basic idea or image or belief, about yourself, that you hold to be the most true. You may have a general description of yourself and you will simply attract in specific physical terms, in specific physical experiences, the one experience that represents the path of least resistance that is capable of fulfilling or manifesting or reflecting to you the general belief you have of yourself. It is not that we are saying that you definitely, precisely, and specifically desire to be struck by one of your automobiles. But if an individual is dealing with ideas and issues of safety and unsafety, of victimhood and non-victimhood, of fear on many different levels that where they are is not a safe place to be, then that fear in and of itself is what will attract the most likely occurrence to reflect and to show, in no uncertain terms to that individual, that they have, that they harbor, those types of negative beliefs.
Situations that happen in your life, circumstances that are the reflection of your physical reality; they don’t happen to show you that you are stuck; they don’t happen to show you you are a failure in life; the circumstances that happen in your life, the physical experiences that you have, they happen to show you what you believe, so that if you don’t prefer it you can change it. Your physical reality is your feed-back mechanism, so that every single moment of your existence as a physical being, you will constantly be giving yourself an opportunity to gauge and measure what belief systems you are buying into, moment to
moment to moment. You are not lost in life, you are not out of control, the things that happen in your reality are the reflections of what you believe about life, the quality you believe life to be, so you are always given, by yourself through the events in your life, the opportunity to determine whether or not the beliefs you have are the beliefs you want to have. They are not there to show you you’re stuck with what you’ve got; nor that you have failed in your life; but to show you how free you actually are. Because at every given moment you have the opportunity to know precisely what your strongest belief is, because your strongest belief must always be what manifests around you in physiological reality. It is a very simple thing; very, very transparent are all of you to yourselves, if you would but allow your definitions of life to be clear.
Allow yourself to know that there is absolutely nothing you could ever experience, nothing you could ever discover about yourself, that cannot be applied in a positive way — absolutely nothing. Every circumstance, every situation, they are all fundamentally neutral, devoid of meaning entirely. No circumstance and no situation has built-in meaning, They are props, in a sense, surface features. You are taught to assign meaning to them. So automatic does this process become, that you automatically believe that when a circumstance occurs, the meaning you automatically perceive is the meaning that
automatically comes with it inherently — but it doesn’t! It is neutral when the circumstance occurs and you automatically assign the meaning that you’ve been taught to assign. The meaning you assign to the neutral situation is absolutely, totally, and utterly what determines the effect you get out of it. Positive meaning in...positive effect out. Negative meaning in...negative effect out.
To illustrate this idea we will use an analogy we will call “The Train Station Analogy”. You are all familiar with the device you have on your planet called a train, yes? Let us say that you are within the best of your ability and fully within your intention and integrity rushing to meet one of your trains because you have a very important meeting. The meeting will turn events around in your life in the direction you really prefer, so you know you don’t want to miss that meeting. So you are doing your best to make sure that you meet that train on time. You arrive at the train station and you are on the platform. You look down the track
and...there goes the train without you. Now, decision #1; automatic assignment of meaning #1: A negative meaning: “I’ve missed my train, oh no! This is horrible, terrible—a catastrophe! Oh, miserable day! Now I will never make that meeting — I will never be able to do what I really want to do, that meeting was so important. I am now going to be very angry that I missed that train, I’m now going to be judgmental about the whole situation.” You are miserable, or furious (depending on the type of person you are) — you will either hold it within yourself and allow yourself the idea of negativity simply within your own life, or if you prefer company, you will stomp off to the train station to complain, making everyone else’s day just as miserable as your own. Now, away you go — stomp, stomp, stomp!
Scenario #2: You arrive on the platform — there goes the train and you’re not on it. Neutral situation. Now, you say to yourself (making the choice of a positive affirmation): “I know, because I have chosen to know, that I am a positively manifesting person. I also know that there is really no such thing as an interruption in the path that I am, that everything that occurs in my life, because of the decision I have made about who and what I am, must therefore be a part of the path I chose to be — not an interruption in it — therefore, this circumstance somehow, even though I don’t intellectually know how, must serve me in a positive way — Oh, joy! Oh, joy! The unexpected has happened! Now I am giving myself a wonderful surprise — I wonder what it will be?” So now, perhaps your demeanor is a little more calm and a little bit more ecstatic and you begin to ponder all the positive reasons why you might have missed that train — knowing you did your best to get there. And as you are pondering, you stand on the platform a little longer than you might have had you gone stomping off in anger. Suddenly, you feel a tap on your shoulder and
you turn around. Low and behold, a friend that you have not seen in 10 years and who has just gotten off the train you missed, is standing there and he tells you that he was just coming in to town to surprise you. And, he turns out to be someone who actually serves what you want to do better than the person you were originally taking the train to meet. “Now I understand why I missed the train, so I wouldn’t miss you! Because you, my friend, actually represent more precisely and more realistically the path I chose to be
and the service I can provide in life.”
Too good to be true? “Oh, that’s just a coincidence — what a fairy tale — life isn’t like that!” Oh, yes it is! Life works exactly that way when you let it! Because everything is connected to everything else. Synchronicity — coincidence — not accident. Co-incidence is actually a simultaneously manifesting incident. It doesn’t mean it’s an accident; it simply means they are parallel, tandem, interactive. You have built into you all of the vibrations of all the possible and probable realities you could ever experience in your life. The vibration, the emotional vibration that you are at any given moment utterly determines which of those probable realities you manifest into physical experience. You are holographic in nature,
holographic in structure, which simply means that every point and every place, contains the ability to manifest any part of the whole, at any time, anywhere. The vibration you are utterly determines which aspect of the holographic whole you experience to be your physical reality. Positive in...positive out. Negative in...negative out.
Your imagination is the library of all the things that could be and that simultaneously are existent within you. Your imagination is the template, the blueprint for all the probable realities you could manifest. Emotion is the activation switch for the blueprint of your imagination. Your emotion determines which of those particular blueprints, which of those particular templates will be brought into manifestation. If you have positive emotion, excitement, joy, strong desire and ecstasy, you activate the positive blueprints. If you have fear, doubt, guilt, judgments, that’s what activates the negative blueprints. It is as simple as that. It is simple physics — simple mechanics.

Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

The point is that we could look at the events of the past day or so and say that one of our family tried to end his own life, something that we view as regrettable, even catastrophic. Or we could look at those same events and say that one member of our family offered another a chance to become a hero and that other indeed became a hero. The outcome is the same, it is all in the way you interpret it that gives it its meaning.

The words are the same. He seems to be saying that if we view the things that occur in our lives as positive, we will find that more positive things occur.
I once read something (author long since forgotten) that I have boiled down to a few simple lines. Each and every one of us, IS God. Eternity is our lifetime. Whether we spend that lifetime in Heaven or Hell is by our own choice. It depends upon whether we believe in God, i.e. ourselves.

I like your interpretations of that, e. Probably that's as close a boiling down of the messages of Buddah, Jesus and Jehova as any other. Your existance is a choice. Your path is a choice. Your life is a collection of your choices.
Now if we could just choose to get the rest of the planet choosing better, we'd all be happier. I'd just settle for the choice to make Boston traffic easier during the Big Dig!

It's not that easy. It simply isn't.
Simple answers look good on paper, and they might work for some people, but it's not just a matter of deciding yourself.
This is complicated stuff, it can't be summed up in a few words like that.
Now, on a lighter note... I heard a knock on my door just now. I opened, and there were several small kids, including one I'm not sure if it is a boy or a girl (dark skin, black hair in a ton of small braids, VEERY cute no matter what kind of child it is). The kid said, "happy easter!" while like five or six more kids shuffled around behind him/her.
I stood there looking at the kid(s), whom all looked back, expecting something. "Okay, happy easter to you too", I returned and looked more at him/her.
"Happy easter!" the kid said again and when I still didn't understand (because I kind of knew what they wanted), the kid said, "You're supposed to give us something! Like candy or money or empty bottles!" What's this? A new mutated variety of halloween?  Never heard you had to give kids candy or money (or empty bottles! LOL!) on easter, hehe. Must be something they invented themselves. 
One of the other kids complained, "You're not supposed to say that!" to the first kid with braids.
I couldn't do anything else than laugh! I actually had an empty 1/2-litre PET bottle that a friend had left here a while ago. I tossed that at them, glad to be rid of it and the kids ran away in a flash!
Hehee, what a weird experience...

It is NOT EASY! But it is also not impossible. Before it can be done you must convince yourself that you believe in yourself. You must be willing to take responsibility for your actions and your feelings. There's lots more you must do as well. I suppose that's why the book I read was nearly 2000 pages. I condensed it into a few words. Way too simple.
I suppose your visitors were looking for the Easter Lenny. I've heard rumor that he has loads of goodies and treats, loves children, and is very VERY handsome.

As long as it leads nowhere.
People have a right to their beliefs as long as they do not get rammed up other people's arses. Even L Ron Hubbard's money making scheme. I have theinside track on that. I know the lady who was his secretary while he was in London.
I deleted the one with the "pay me money" link.
Sometimes safe places need to show what is different and let people judge, you know

"I lost my job"...."I wrecked the car"...."I missed the plane"...."I cut my hand"...."I failed the test"...."My friend let me down"...."He lied to me"..........
So, I Stomp! Stomp! Stomp! and then realize these were GOOD things and so I say "Oh, Joy! What wonderful suprise will this bring me?" In what parallel universe does this occur?
I've found that when life closes one door, another will soon slam in my face.....when someone (why, I have no idea) gives me lemons, I just have a bunch of lemons, no lemonade. Life is what you struggle to make of it. I wait for the other shoe to drop and it ALWAYS does.
My reality is not pessimistic, just real. Loss of trust, realization that people do not live up to their promises, that life holds out its hand and then jerks it away. Life is what you make it, not what you dream for.

smith--I have never directed a post to you before,but I would like to be your friend--a good friend,one that can be trusted. Faith,whatever that is,is the grease that keeps all us going.I believe that faith and some concept of a higher-power defines our individual charactor-who and what we are. Sometimes GOD dumps a truckload of shit on us.For me,I got lucky and got smart. I took that crap and started to make shit sandwhiches.I figured that there were a bunch of suckers out there that would buy them. Guess what? I got rich. I have read many of your posts.Your indeed very rich,of strong charactor and filled with a kind of love that is awsome.What I am trying to say is that all you guys have given me the space to grow. Grow mostly in spirit....Recieving e-mail from some,being reminded-gently of course-by Marc that my life could have been worse,and visiting Ashleys place and crying my heart out with joy. I suppose many kinds of people will visit Timmys place,some will bring pain and anger,some will bring peace and comfort. WE ARE NOT ALONE. rob

And I'm not trying to sound preachy here (because I HATE that myself), there's so much good in your life too (to be represented by your favorite kind of fruit, dunno if you're too crazy about oranges if you're growing them, but bananas maybe. Don't we all loooove bananas, huh? )
You have your sk8er friends who stand up for each other in ways I consider completely crazy (you know what I mean), and you have your mates you have pasture parties with, and friends in school, and you got good grades too, and a lot of other things. Life sure hands out them lemons left and right and many of us simply don't know how to make lemonade, or the lemons are already soft and moldy when we get them so the lemonade would be poison.
Still there's a lot for you to smile about too. I am sure you will see that too when the foul mood has blown out of your mind.
And last but not least. You are a reason to shine bud, for so many people. I'm sure you're aware of that. So smile just a little sunshine, coz you rock, k? Here's one friend who will do his darndest not to betray your trust.
Hugs:

He has emailed me asking me to delete this post. The thingis, so many of you have made usueful points beneathit that I feel it has far more value as it stands.
I would like to leave it here. I woudl also like M. to make more posts about hmslef and the thinsg that are important in his life, and the questions he needs answered.
He has a firm belief in God. As it happens so do I. And we each recgognise that everyone does not share the same beliefs.
