Once there was a depressed man who would complain of lack of money, work and inspiration. He spent all his days whining and contemplating on the things that he did not have. This resulted to his being irritable, gloomy and disheartened. He sent out negative vibrations to the Universe constantly. The Universe, in turn, gave what he deserved most- distressing situation. One time while he was reading a newspaper, he chanced upon a column that gave advice to people who were down and out. He wrote to this fellow about his plight and received an unusual recommendation. "Stop complaining man! Start writing down your life dreams and read them everyday. You may be feeling tired, weak and low now but your spiritual level is high. Quickly, do it now. After five years, you will notice that all of them have manifested."

Habakkuk 2: 2-3: "Then the Lord answer me and said: Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry."
