What is Your Story?

I have not been an overly religious person, but I have come to study, believe, and realize how important it is to have spirituality within your life.  "Spirituality is the concept of an ultimate or an alleged immaterial reality, an inner path enabling a person to discover the essence of his/her being; or the "deepest values and meanings by which people live" (Wikipedia definition).
Spirituality is an individualized practice for you to find and live by your beliefs.  There are numerous ways to learn and practice spirituality and many who have written about it.  One particular series of books is by Ester Hicks and her Law of Attraction books.  I feel the Law of Attraction is relevant when coupled with action.  Just wishing for and thinking about won't just produce results.  It does require you to be an active participant, yet it does all start with WHAT and  HOW you think about yourself and your life.  The words you use, the actions you take.
In Hicks books she talks about channeling (another aspect to one's belief system) Abraham, a spiritual leader from c. 1800 B.C. Her books reflect his thoughts and teachings from a very enlightened place and that we are the drivers of our own destiny.  Below is just one small excerpt from one of her books and is the basis for this post.  Mainly because it so well summarizes how valuable it is to know our thoughts are the basis to our lives.  What we think will be.  So please read, re-read, and reflect these thoughts and decide what is your story?
As you imagine and visualize and verbalize your new story, in time you will believe the new story, and when that happens, the evidence will flow swiftly into your experience. A belief is only a thought you continue to think; and when your beliefs match your desires, then your desires must become your reality.
There is no physical body, no matter what the conditions, that cannot achieve an improved condition. Nothing else in your experience responds as quickly as your own physical body to your patterns of thought.
