The Secret - The Movie and the Book

By
Education & Training with Retired Executive Director of Education at eXp Non-Licensed

I have found that after watching the secret, there are many laws of the universe we may not be aware of or intuned to.  Just like the law of gravity, we see it, we know it exists, yet we work and live around it.  Still, our mind does not have to think about it, it's just there, good or bad, like it or not.

Hold your mouse out in front of you, and now let it go and it will drop.  See, you won't do it because the law of gravity might break your mouse.  So we work around the laws of the universe to make them work for us.  I believe there are many laws of the universe we don't understand, we can't see or that we aren't even aware of. The law of attraction is just opening our minds to how powerful they really are.

To even question if the law exists, is to use "this secret" in the wrong manner.  Changing your thoughts to appreciation, happiness, and desires creates a positive energy that people and the universe pick up on.  I don't see any harm in trusting that "seeing is believing" but first, we have to see it in our minds.

Einstein said it best, and I quote,  "If you think you can, or if you think you can't, either way you're right!"

I saw "The Secret" today and I was amazed at how true everything actually was!  I will definitely be working on the positives from now on!

Glad you got to see it Erika, what a great way to get us to be thinking more positively. It worked on me, my wife, my kids, my co-workers, and now another rainer. Whatever you think and believe, you will have or become. I still like best from this post when Einstein said, " Whether you think you can or you can't, either way, you are right!"  I think I shall start on my book!! :-)

I have the book, audio book and the movie.  I have been working on trying to think about the positives.  I also have Jack Canfield's book The Success Principles.  He has some activities to help those that have a hard time visualizing.

Thanks Rhonda, My wife has the book now and I have seen the movie 3 times. I still pickup something new each time I watch. Really great stuff if you can use it! I'll have to check out The Success Principles. I have no problems visualizing, it's just the visualizing problems I need to get rif of... (Big Smile) :-)

I personally like this quote from the book.  "It's really important that you feel good, because this feeling good is what goes out as a signal into the Universe and starts to attract more of itself to you.  So the more you can feel good, the more you will attract the things that help you feel good, and are able to keep bringing you up higher and higher.!"  Dr. Joe Vitale  from the book "the Secret"

Thanks Ben, Great Quote. You know what they say and it's no secret, "When you look good, you feel good." I think it should be, "When you feel good, you look good" makes more sense. Enjoy..it's a good life!!

Debi - glad you agree, we are what we think we are.  Choose to have a great day, live a rich life, and you absolutely will.  It's not a right of the universe, just like gravity, it's a LAW!  Make the best day out of everyday!!  Thanks for your comment, they're always welcomed!

I KNEW I liked you, Brad!  I joined this group early on before I could have recognized your name as founder.  Today I was cruising some of my groups and see your name listed as founder.  My husband and I are huge Secret believers and practioners.  Is it a coincidence that I "found" you through other posts?  Not!

Warmly,

Tracy

Hi Tracy - I see you've joined my Real Estate Technology and Target Marketing groups as well... is it the secret or just destiny?  (BIG SMILE)  Loved the movie and my wife has the book.  Just after we saw the movie, I joined AR, and was visioning being the #1 Agent in my area, The #1 in my industry, Top Ten in California, and be one of the top 25 most subscribed bloggers, just to see if I could do it.  I never told anyone until you right now.  Well, now I can't stop, and I have passed all the goals I wished to obtain on AR.  At the time...just 4 months ago, it seemed absolutely not humanly impossible to acheive this.  I think understanding the "secret" is what helped me obtain this, and will help me in the future, so much more. I wish all the same "good" things for you in life and your family too!  :-)  Think it long enough, and you can have anything you want in this life!!

Very big smile!  This is why I LOVE online marketing -- because the attraction possibilities out there on the world wide web are amazing!  Thank you for standing as a huge reminder of that concept.  Your unwavering vision, contribution to community and resulting success are shining examples of The Secret at work.
