This is so true.

I read ‘the secret’ and was really pleased with how I felt whilst reading it. I just thought ‘yay, that’s me’. I am a positive thinker and other people seem amazed that good things just seem to happen to me and fall into my lap. I’m not lucky. I’m a positive thinker. On the occasions that I am being miserable or worrying about this or that, then bad stuff happens and I feel bogged down. Stopping those thoughts right there can and does turn things around.

Of course ‘the secret’ also reminds us to take action, visualise and write down these positive thoughts and plans and this commitment of writing down was something that I’d never done before. I decided that I needed to get serious about my finances for my new business so started writing a spreadsheet of income for the year. not in brackets or as a maybe figure. as a real figure.

Guess what. The first payment hit my bank 2 weeks ago
I also changed my email address to reflect what I truly am and what others consider me as. I feel good.

Thanks for sharing your comments about the Think and Grow Rich. I’ll definitely look this up.

Thank you for choosing to visit. I’m glad you like the Secret as well. I can remember my grandmother always saying to me, “think positive thoughts.” Perhaps “The Secret” has never really been a secret? I think I needed to hear a little more explanation WHY I need to think positively.

Hey Shawn,

This is a great post. I immediately noticed you referred to the book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. This is an excellent book.

I stumbled across this book about four months ago, and honestly, I have not stopped reading it since. Although the book does not directly state “Your thoughts crate your reality” except for the title. It goes on providing instructions on how to put the LOA to work. It’s a killer book and I highly recommend it to everyone.

It cracks me up when people put down the movie “The Secret”, and those who believe in it. I tell those people to actually read and research the topic instead of automatically criticizing it. Then of course all I get is “blah blah blah” haha.

It is no secret! Yes, the information and/or steps to attainment may have been suppressed intentionally, but the information has always been out there for those who seek it!

BTW, I found your blog through Problogger and now am a regular reader of your blog.

Later,
Mike.

Hi again I too believe the Secret is real and getting proof ever day, whether it is in good things or bad. But I sincerely believe it is for real, we just need to understand how to use it, and not think that just by wanting something, it will be given to us.

Keep up with the good work, have been reading quite a few posts now and really enjoy your blog!
