"Is it really a 'Secret' anymore?

By
Real Estate Agent with Fathom Realty West Sound WA State 52404

 Is it just me, or does anyone else find it rather comical that someone would write a book entitled "The Secret" and then tell everyone about it?

Since the beans have been effectively spilt, can it really still be considered a 'secret?' Shouldn't the title be changed to "The Non-Secret?"....

Just some random musings as the weekend finally approaches....

Rich, very funny.  Maybe the sequel should be called "Ahh Haa!  Gotcha.  Here's the real secret!"

Rich,
Ok, I'm a little late getting here and everyone else has already used the "good lines".  

Happy Easter!

A vain appeal to our "need to know" what we think we don't know. :) These random Friday musings might make an interesting series...

Hi Rich (you funny guy :-)  Have you read the book yet?  I'm about 1/3 through it, and while at times, it's a little self-indulgent on the part of the participants, the premise is still TRUE-TRUTH-TRUISM.  I think in our profession we probably do much of "it" unconsciously (phew) so I'm now trying to consciously bring "it" into daily manifestation.  If you want to know what the heck I'm talking about, guess you're all going to have to beg, borrow or steal "The Secret".

Happy Easter

Gracious Rich...

If the title on the book was changed folks would stop buying the book. Yes?

By the way...Random is a good thing...I do that sometimes...Only problem is when I do it...I scare people :)

I should go now...I've been on AR for most of the day. I can't feel my fingertips anymore :) 

TLW...ROAR!

Rich - {Bob here } It was a secret until recently for us cause we couldn't get the video for the longest time. Another no so secret. Have you seen "Closing Escrow" from Last year? Just my musing for the weekend. Happy Easter Rich!

Rich - I read the Secret and wondered why it was titled that - I enjoyed the book and video, but so much of it seems common sense and not a secret at all - that is my two cents worth -
