The Secret - Does it Work?

The Secret by Rhonda Byrne is the up-to-the-minute self-help sensation. But makes it actually work?

The chief subject running throughout the whole book is the impression of thought. The current ballyhoo about the law of attractive force rests its foundations on the impression of thought. Idea can convey love, happiness, money, and usher you through life. My opinion? I truly believe in this. The theory is approved of by great minds of old and modern modern times like Napoleon I Hill, Abraham Lincoln, Ralph Emerson, Henry Martin Robert Kiyosaki, and Bill Gates. For a former station on the impression of idea chink here.

The law of attractive force is in fact very simple: what you believe is what you will attract. It is correspondent to the well established phenomena of resonance. You've all seen the soprano interruption a wineglass just by vocalizing the right note. What is physically happening is the soprano directs out a moving ridge or a quiver of air molecules. This quiver travelings through the air and everything (including the vino glass) in the encompassing locality will get vibrating at the same frequency. Now the vino glass have got a peculiar place called the natural frequence - in fact all physical objects have a alone physical place called the natural frequency. Physics states us that the near the frequence of the vocalizing to the natural frequence of the glass, the more than vigorously the glass will vibrate. So as the soprano hits the right note, one that is very fold to the natural frequence of the glass, the glass will agitate so violently that it'll break.

Same trade with thought. When you think, you direct out a idea of a peculiar frequency. As a result, all encompassing things will get vibrating. In particular, things which have got the same or similar natural frequence to your idea will vibrate violently. And that is how the law of attractive force works. By sending out thoughts, you will 'be in tune' with physical objects or states of affairs which have got the same natural frequence as your thoughts. You can use this to all facets of your life whether it is money, fame, relationships, or health. And that is the basic kernel of The Secret.

I urge The Secret if you have got not come up across the law of attractive force before and you can purchase it at a price reduction here. However, it is true that the law of attractive force is an ancient conception and The Secret is just a modern mental representation of the law. If you desire a read a more than than comprehensive and original (but longer and more hard to read) treatment of the topic I would highly urge The Maestro Key System by Prince Charles Haanel. I have got recommended this before and I still believe it is the most comprehensive book on this subject. One thing's for sure, it is one of the oldest, if not the oldest, comprehensive textual matter on the law of attraction. You can purchase it at a price reduction here.

You Don't Have To Be A PhD To Understand Life

We are on this world to give something back.

When we decide to have children, help out family or friends in need, or donate our time, we are giving something back. When a crisis hits us and we find ourselves in a world of hurt or pain, we find out that people want to give something back to us. Be that love, compassion, or just time. Or maybe that isn't so. Sometimes people don't give back. They just take.

Life can be hard.

Life isn't always about riches, love, sex, sunshine and pleasure. Life can hit us squarely between the eyes and take away what we love the most. Life can test our deepest emotions until we break down and cry unabashedly. But the pain and anguish of life can also give us strength, depth and resolve. Sometimes we learn astonishing things about ourselves and find strength beyond our dreams. There is no getting around the harshness of life. It will not spare us. But it will hopefully open our eyes. And with any luck we will learn from it.

We are one species, one race, one entity.

The sooner we learn that we are all the same species and animal, the better. We are all interconnected through the shared ability of conscious unlike all other animals on this planet. When we decide to use our conscious for the good of mankind as a whole, we will survive. If we continue to ignore our conscious we will continue to destroy each other, nature and eventually the planet. We have a choice. Those choices will save us or destroy us. It isn't that complicated, it's actually quite simple if you think about it.

How to Get What You Really Want Out of Life

There are no limits to the amount of happiness, health,
wealth, success, or love that you can attain. The only
limits that exist are the ones that are created through
limited thoughts, words, actions and attitudes.

It's quite simple how this works. Wherever you find yourself
manifesting circumstances in your life other than what you
planned for then be assured that there are limiting beliefs
at work in your life. A limiting belief is a belief that you
are certain is true about yourself based upon past
experiences.

These limiting beliefs can look like:

'Good things never happen to me'

'I don't deserve to be happy'

'Rich people are greedy'

'Life wasn't meant to be easy'

These beliefs and thousands more like them are like huge
rivers of thought flowing beneath the surface of your mind
and whenever you try to make a positive change in direction
in your life you ultimately end up struggling with these
undercurrents.

That's why people who try to change habits like smoking or
being overweight will 90% of the time end up right back
where they started from despite have successfully achieved a
result they were happy with.

The key here is to understand that your subconscious mind
has way more influence in your results than your conscious
mind. Psychologists claim that only 10% of our mind function
is conscious. 90% is subconscious. This gives you an idea
why it might appear so hard to make life changes.

The great news is that I'm going to show you to get what you
really want despite any self-sabotaging thoughts or beliefs.
The simple fact is that all you need to do is change your
beliefs. To do this is as easy as 1-2-3.

Step 1 is to choose a belief that will support what you want
to achieve. Let's say you want to. Let's say your goal is to
find work that you love. Then a belief that would support
that would be, 'I am so happy to be getting paid for work
that I love!'

Notice that I use present tense when expressing the new
belief. That is because your brain does not know the
difference between what you imagine and what is real. As you
write out your belief, get a picture of it in your mind.
See, hear and feel yourself sitting at your desk, or doing
whatever it is you will be doing as if you are already
there. This is called visualizing your goal.

Make sure you repeat your affirmation and visualize your new
belief for 5 minutes before you go to bed and for 5 minutes
upon awakening every day. Continue to do this until what
you want has become a reality in your life. The point here
is that we use our mind every day for things we don't really
want, need or desire. So why not spend just a few minutes
each day affirming what really matters.

Step 2 is to take consistent action towards achieving the
result you want. In the example above it could look like
checking the 'positions vacant' section of the newspaper of
internet, calling up companies that offer the kind of work
you are looking for and organizing an interview or resume to
be sent. Then spend a little time each day taking action
that reinforces your new belief.

Step 3 is to never give up on your dreams. Don't let anyone
or anything be the reason you fail to get what you really
want. Ultimately there can be any number of excuses why we
settle for a life less than what we want or deserve. The
secret is to recognize these excuses and then make a
decision to stay focused on what you really want.

I'm not suggesting you spend a lot of time on this. Even
just 5 minutes a day will be significant to help change your
old beliefs. What matters is that you keep it top of mind
and make it a priority every day.

Lastly, the fastest way to burn away old annoying beliefs
and habits is to spend some time in gratitude for what you
already have. I do this each morning upon awakening. My goal
is to find 10 things each morning to feel thankful for
before I get out of bed. I not only think about those things
I spend a few moments feeling them deep in my heart and
soaking up the joy that these things bring to me.

This sets the tone for the day of joy and I find that I seem
to attract much more to be grateful about each and every
day. I'll leave you with this quote from my latest book:

"When you focus on what you DO have, it increases; When you
focus on what you don't have, you will have less. When you
focus on your capabilities, they grow; When you focus on
your health, it improves!'
