The wise already know this: in this world, the universal pull of good people and things will bring you profoundly lasting, positive influence. Surround yourself with what is good — the right people, the right energy, the right environment — and your life will naturally find its way onto a path of flourishing and ease.
This is what the old wisdom means when it says: “Fortune builds its own momentum; misfortune breeds its own decay.”
The gap between one person and another comes down to a single question: in one clear moment of insight, can you grasp the law of universal attraction — and from that understanding, move decisively toward fortune and away from harm?
The principle is that simple.
