Is it still a secret?
If I had a penny for every time I’ve been called “the eternal optimist” in my life I would never have to work another day in my life! To me “The Secret” simply rehashed many of the things I learned in from my parents lips, at church, at school, and in the sandbox but don’t take me wrong… it was well worth reading and rereading and I highly recommended purchasing it in the media that works best for you.
There are lots of supporting materials, seminars, workbooks, journals (I bought one of these) which you can get to supplement your new abundant mindset, and due to the fact that I’m a facebook junkie, I joined Gero Cumbo’s facebook group called “The Secret 20009″ and today was infused with some wisdom on the secret theory that speaks volumes…
A native american boy was talking with his grandfather. “What do you think about the world situation?” he asked. The grandfather replied, “I feel like wolves are fighting in my heart. One is full of anger and hatred; the other is full of love, forgiveness, and peace.” “Which one will win?” asked the boy. To which the grandfather replied, “The one I feed.” (Origin Unknown)
This simple story provides the essence of a life-changing law of the universe…. You become what you think about. The words are almost too simple to feel important.” However, if you “get it, ” if you truly understand their meaning, you can forever harness the power of a positive attitude.
Simply stated… if we choose to think positive thoughts we’ll get positive results; if we think negative thoughts, we’ll get negative results. Pretend for a moment that every thought is a seed you sow in your fertile mind. Therefore, as I once heard someone say, “If you plant crabapples, don’t expect to harvest Golden Delicious.” You will reap the fruit of the thoughts you sow.
In his best-selling classic The Power of Positive Thinking, Dr. Norman Vincent Peale wrote:
“earn to expect, not to doubt. In doing so you bring everything into the realm of possibility… It is amazing how a sustained expectation of the best sets the forces in motion which case the best to materialize.”
What do you think of “The Secret”? Do you live it? Do you recommend it? How do you keep “the secret alive” in your life? I’ve got a journal…
