Don’t get me wrong, I’m no gossip girl/boy. I don’t intend to spill the latest rumour in the metro like who slept with whom and where who got suspended at work. Though, I get the right amount of dosage of the daily chismax from very reliable sources.
So what is the Secret?
I first heard about it from Carlo and got it as a gift last Christmas. Its selling point is revealing the secret of the world’s most successful individuals. Different motivational speakers/writers contributed to bring this book into realization. Basically, the secret is the law of attraction that states we attract the things that we are thinking.
It emphasizes the power of the mind and its significant role in the process of creation. Neal Donald Walsh, the author of the best-seller Conversations with God series, talked about the potency of the words that we attached to the phrase “I am.” According to Walsh, these words are divine so we have to be careful when using them. Our words send signal to the universe and transmit back the same wavelength that we emitted.
Chapters were named after the different aspect of our lives like Health, Relationships, Money, etc. Testimonials from regular people are featured in every section that tells their wonderful experiences. A single woman noticed that she cannot seem to find the right guy. She stumbled on the Secret and plotted a plan to let a man in her life. She left spaces in her life for someone to fill like a space in the parking area. Eventually, she met her life-long partner.
Jack Canfield of Chicken Soup for the soul shared with the readers how he achieved so much in life. He taped a dollar bill, in which he added several zeros, in the ceiling so it will be the first thing he will see when he wakes up. This would remind him of his goal of achieving his first million. Great things, indeed, begins in small winnings. Eventually, he has a string of best-sellers in his name.
Being a master of the secret, one must live consciously. Focus is very important to achieve your dreams. This is a tedious task for people like us who are always on the go. There are a lot of things that goes through our mind in every minute of the day.
The book is inspiring and gives you hope to make a change for the better. It tells us that we hold the key and power to improve our lives. The struggle starts with staying positive. We live in a world that tells us that we are not beautiful if we gain weight, that we need to have this to work better, or life would be better if we have this.
Count your blessings. I try to count every good thing that comes my way everyday. From the air that I breathe, to the food that our family eats, the roof over our heads, the plants in our garden that keep us cool this summer, a loving boyfriend that enjoys my company, great friends that I grew up with, my work. I never imagined that the blessings just keep pouring in.
Things would only get better! |
