Active Rainers are going Beyond the Secret!!

By
Education & Training with the Positive MOM

I literally just got home, turned my computer on. I couldn’t wait to share this with all of you. 

I just watched Beyond the Secret… a one-night event broadcasted in 440 select movie theatres in 46 states today, Thursday, January 15th.  It was supposed to be hosted by Larry King, but it was actually hosted by Leeza Gibbons.

I think everyone worldwide has been exposed to The Secret and the Beyond The Secret panel was a follow up to the highly praised film and best selling book by Rhonda Byrne.  Amongst the panelists were my adored Bob Proctor, Marcia Weider, Christian Simpson, Les Brown (whom I felt was talking to me directly), Mark Moffit, Steve Siebold, Paul Martinelli, Mary Manin Morrisey, and the organizer Holli Walker. They were discussing how to “make The Secret work for us” in today’s world and economy, all in front of a live audience. 

Beyond The SecretI  could have endless posts about all the information I learned in the two-hour panel, but I want to highlight what I learned and what really inspired me and I hope it offers value and meaning to you, while we all patiently wait for the Beyond the Secret DVD, which is expected to be released in April, 2009.

1-   The Law of Attraction is just one of the many laws that rule the universe and designed by a higher power.

2-    We need people in our lives that can see in us what we can’t see in ourselves.

3-   Teach children their potential at a very young age

4-    Charge your thoughts with positive energy.

5-    There is no better time than NOW. It’s a tragedy to live our lives in autopilot.

6-   You can make up your dreams, and then follow them.

7-     Find the COURAGE and CLARITY to do what MATTERS to you and TAKE ACTION over and over.

8-    Dream a dream, not a fantasy

9-    Detoxify your relationships. Who’s the matter with me?

10-  To defy an unwanted situation, we need preparation: a game plan.

11-   Be crystal-clear about your dream: have a vision board, write it down, think it, and imagine it.

12-   Be exposed to world-class thinkers.

13-   Learn continually.

14-   After awareness comes integrity. Don’t sabotage your dreams.

15-   To achieve a dream, we need to take risks; to take risks, we need to trust ourselves.

16-      Hold your head up

17-   Do what brings you joy every day.

18-       For a better world, take control of yourself and believe in the ripple effect.

19-    If you don’t move on, life will move on ON you.

20-   Be bigger, better and different.

 How is this relevant to Active Rain?

 Mary Manin Morrisey left with an analogy of the flu season. She said get a virus detector and virus protection and you won’t get the flu.  

Other panelists spoke about:

1-      Placing yourself in an environment that is conducive to your growth. (Thank you AR)

2-     Programming your mind – taking time to feed your mind with positive thoughts.

3-     Reading 10-15 pages of inspirational, positive content (See my good friend Gary Woltal )

4-    Review your goals each day, plan actions and prioritize.

5-     Take action, take action, and take action.  How bad do you want it and what will you do to get it?

Like I said, I just loved Les Brown’s interventions. We were applauding through them at the movie theater as if we were part of the live audience.  When he was talking about detoxifying our relationships, he said some people could “walk into a dark room and start developing”.  We need to “gently” avoid those people that laugh at our dream or simply crush our dream with their negativism. It made me think of my need to seek an environment that edify us, with people that want to edify and allow to be edified…then,  Expect great things.

I could go on forever, they talked about politics, health, faith…you name it. But I will with the morale I got form this whole thing in my own words:

Great things are happening, but someone is making them happen.  Let’s be that someone.  We have the potential. We have the tools.  We have the power: will power. Let’s develop the attitude and take the action, let’s keep each other accountable, let’s give…and we will be blessed abundantly. 

We have Active Rain...we can do it!

 Hope you enjoyed my post. Have a powerful day!

Good blog I have actually never read the secret or the movie. I have always been a pretty positive perso and know whatever the outcome I will get through it, however I had a father that believed majority of society raises negative children. A kids first few words are no, why is that. Because that is all a parent tells a child. Therefore raising someone who has a harder time making their own decision and continually waiting for the no in life. Are words are very powerful and shape a person. At a young age give a child choices appropriate for their age, dont tell them no unless it's life or death, but rephrase it and give it meaning.

Good insight and great inspiration!  If you want to further insight and "power" read/study Charles Haanel's "Master Key System."  It's a remarkable journey into the power of thought.  Have a great and productive day!

Elayna, great review! I saw on your "Beyond the Secret" link they were giving away a free ebook for accepting their invitation. If you haven't read "The Science of Getting Rich", you will find it very inspirational and motivating. This book is the precursor to "The Secret". Take action and you can create your own destiny. Thanks.

Hi Elayna. What a great recap of all the thoughts beyond The Secret. Thanks for the honorable mention. I am in agreement with you on #2. Finding someone who sees the best qualities in you that you are not aware of is an invaluable person in your life. I see in you Elayna a beautiful heart shining brightly!!

I have to admit that I'm not a huge The Secret person.  I felt that the action part of the equation wasn't as emphasized as it should have been in the secret and that was my gripe with it.  I am a big tony robbins fan, that guy is amazing.

Elayna Fernandez - Naples FLHeather:

Some people go through life living 'The Secret' and reaping benefits and don't even know it. I believe what you say to be true. I have two little girls and I would never want to limit them in any way. You are so right to address this issue. Children are people and should be treated like people. We should communicate with them in words they can understand and balance discipline with praise. That's what I do, at least.

Richard:
I really loved writing this post last night.You have an interesting domain name LOL But yes...having a plan is really important to get what you want, but you have to know what you want first!

Caren:
Thank you for your comments, visiting my blog and bookmarking the post. This is what I love about positivism...it just fires you up and makes you want to do great things, doesn't it?

Sally and David:  I will have to check her out. Do I just Google her or do you have the specifics? Thanks for sharing. I am in for anything positive and edifying.

Judith:  Wow - Thank you for sharing! I will definitely look into that system. I really want to further my power.

Michael:  Yes! Isn't it fabulous? I love the Science of Getting Rich. I love Bob Proctor. I own the whole SGR program.  I hope everyone clicks on the link and downloads this easy read.  It will change their lives - do you agree?

Mike:  The Secret is out now. Let's do what we need to do to get what we want!

Mindy: Girl...I wish I'd new you were in town. You know I would have kept you in line and dragged you to the movie theater.  I'm glad you read the post though, I tried to recap as much as possible. It was a one-night-only event, unfortunately. The DVD is coming out in April.  I am teaching on Wednesday. I am free Thursday and Friday. Will you be here?

Tim:  I know. It was showing at the Hollywood 20 in Naples. I'm glad you read the post so you know what's coming in April. To make it up to you, I will buy it so you can watch my copy and not have to pay. Maybe we'll have a special release viewing and we can invite Mindy as well!

Gary:  You are THAT person for me and for all those who read your blog posts. You just irradiate and transmit positivism and writing a post about inspiration and following dreams just needs a link to Gary Woltal's blog. You know I heard someone at Church say "For each Godly feeling, the devil has an imitation...for love, there's lust, for courage, there's pride..." and it went on to then say "the only feeling that cannot be disguised or imitated is peace". Your posts give peace to my heart. Please keep them coming!

Karinee: Thank you for supporting my blog. I am determined to attract the best and you can keep me accountable! I'll do the same for you. I am not ashamed of my dreams and I plan to dream big.  Thank YOU!

Morgan: Leeza Gibbons referred to the audience as "The Secret freaks".  I think what we all are is "Motivation freaks".  I think we all have to find what motivates us and stick to it. Anthony Robbins IS amazing and I love his material. You are right about the action and that is why they created "Beyond The Secret". They wanted to explain that the vision board is not enough. You have to get up and do it. So I know what you mean, because Tony Robbins is all about that.

I have not read The Secret or Beyond simply because of lack of time.  But it looks like I can just follow your review and catch right up!  I like #2, #9 and #17.  And I DO see how much of this is found in the Rain!  I love this amazing group of people that have gathered here!  I love the INSPIRATION that you give! 

Great post!  I love it when YOU get inspired because I know it will be passed on!

Debbie baby, Gary boy, Mamacita Nancy, C bay-bay, Shelley, Toula, Paul, Amber and Marie.... thank you for your comments.  I look forward to sharing more inspirational information with you all.  After I saw the movie, my friend Nancy invited me to go to the Vemma convention in Las Vegas as my opportunity to meet Les Brown.  At the convention, I decided to "get in trouble" and quickly ran backstage to meet and greet Les Brown, right after his intervention.  I wanted to tell him how his "Beyond The Secret" message and his Vemma talk had inspired me so profoundly. Security came backstage and I had the guy take a picture of us LOL. I didn't get in trouble after all. I gave him my business card and went out to tell everyone "I met Les Brown!!"  I made that happen for myself. I'm kinda proud about it...LOL  3000 people at the Vemma Royale and I went backstage.
Well, guess who called me a little after a week...and guess who is now re-developing the LesBrown.com website...and guess who is Les Brown's Internet Brand Manager!  All we need to do is follow our dreams...get off that seat and run after your dreams, no fear!

Love you guys!

Who's the matter with me? - now that is very funny and poignant!  When I was young my father taught me if you hung around skunks you will end up smelling like one.  If these negative people will not change, get them out of your life or they will ruin you.

This was really good.  I love your Xtremely positive posts and outlook on life.  You are a blessing to so many others.

Girl, you keep it up!
