I agree very much with what you wrote here on more difficult relationships, family, co-workers and yes even partners. Personally my greatest most loyal family and friendships are with those who I do not always completely get on with 100 percent. We argue, we yell at eachother we get irritated by each others personalities, and I wouldn't Change This For The World! I have learned so very much about myself and others, and especially dealing with others from relationships of any type where the personalities are incredibly different. I cherish these differences. While I have some like minded individuals whom are friends, and I indeed can learn much from them as well, I find my most difficult relationships can be most profound.
What you said about worrying and attracting worry to seem a punishment- yes you have a very valid point, however what are we really doing when we sit and dwell and worry? We are in a state of worrying when we should be in a place that yes we should never feel guilty about worrying as it is truly natural but also we must not stay in a rut of worry- but we must act. Because we do indeed have to tackle the problem, we think clearer when in action when we are in a state of optimism, like was said here, as it gives us our very own strength and means of support that stems from our own refusal to think negatively, but to choose (Yes it is a choice) to adopt a more positive, action geared and supportive (from self) way of thinking. But yes I agree here as well, we should not as human beings ever condemn ourselves for worrying or any other negative emotion really. Then we come from a place of self love, and healthy respect, when we do not condemn and judge ourselves. I believe the same as you, in a God who would never condemn any species for something which is natural to them, or for anything really.
Yes I hear you entirely on the "You must raise your vibrations" comments most arbitrarily thrown around. To you all here I am a perfect stranger. My vibrations are high enough as far as I am concerned and I know this to be true because I can not fathom how anyone could portray to know or rather assume how spiritual one is, having knowing not thing one about them.
When I see these comments directed at myself and others, I simply scroll by them most often. They to me are indeed irrelevant and roll right off my back, because as a common sense individual, I realize no one here or elsewhere actually knows how spiritual others are, whether myself or others.
I find it incredibly disrespectful at times, many assume as opposed to honestly ask the person how they feel about the subject.
I do hold faith that yes like attracts like, I hold to many beliefs. It is difficult to find people who understand me, as I am incredibly open minded and give many concepts and faiths a chance. I am the type to factor that indeed nothing is impossible unto me or any other- it becomes impossible when we doubt, when we criticize, when we point and laugh. I have witnessed many an incredible thing happen throughout my years, based on sheer faith and will alone.
So I do believe like attracts like. I know for fact us as human beings have problems- I view problems as a way of testing my own strength and a obvious call to action, and to go about to solve them- with yes optimism.

I so agree, especially about putting in the effort. After all if you just sit around and cry about something and don't attempt to change it, than you can blame yourself for nothing changing. Putting in the effort is key and once you've done that, if things don't change then there is no reason to beat yourself up or feel bad about yourself since you did all you could do.
I also have experienced putting in a tremendous effort and seeing no results (at the time or right away at least) and what I feel is that when this happens it not because we are masochists who want to torture ourselves, but that there is a Divine Will involved which wishes us to learn things one way first and get to a certain level of understanding before we can just have and live however we want.
Of course this involves the belief in something beyond ourselves, which some may or may not accept. The LOA seems to say that everything is of ourselves, but I have also experienced nothing short of Divine Intervention, which came from a higher knowing then myself or what I could have known would happen at the time.
It also seems that some believe anything negative which we experience has to come from ourselves. I don't believe this either when it comes to spirits, entities or people, and we have discussed why in other threads.
I also agree though that miraculous things can happen with no explanation, and if you ask any nurse or doctor, many will tell you they have seen things they can't explain. So I agree about faith and belief as well.
