Some people are retaining for the wrong reasons

You feel a sense of superiority in this world because you retain, correct? The sentiments about how men are simple in this world and how they lack this or that. That is an intrinsically insecure mentality. You are no better than the next man if you still hold hatred in your heart, which in result creates insecure thought patterns. Mind you these are all inner reflections from my experience, so take of it as you will, but instead looking at it as your duty to fix this world and specifically focusing on negatives will only lead to bitterness. Instead, set an example by being genuinely happy, because you are happy with yourself and spread that onto others. Whether that be directly, by helping them fix their thought patterns or indirectly, by them just witnessing your high vibrations. Begin to focus on your internal and not the external. People talk about the magnetism aspect all the time in retention, and although some can say it’s because of this or that, I ultimately think it’s because they’ve also done the inner work to have a sense of love for oneself, which I’d figure a lot of people lack.
