I've also read the book, and I do believe in some of the things that they talk about.
The secret is THE LAW OF ATTRACTION. You attract the things you think about. So that means that you can create your own world and everything around you just as you choose. You are not here to try to get the world to be just as you want it to be, but to make the world as you choose. And you choose whatever you want by the good feelings of all your wants.
So it is interesting isn't it?
People think about what they don't want and attract more of the same. Like those who speak most of illness have illness and those who speak most of prosperity have it, and so on.
If you say "I am a failure" you are always going to fail. If you say "I am stupid, I will never do anything right", you're definitely never will do anything right. Because this is what you are telling your mind. And this is how it works. This is the law of attraction. If you say "I am good, I will succeed" you will bring that to you.
It all depends on our thoughts. The book says it and I have heard it a lot and even tried it.
Happy feelings will attract more happy circumstances.
You can begin feeling whatever you want, even if it's not there, and the universe will correspond to the nature of your song. What you focus on with your thought and feeling is what you attract into your experience.
For instance, if I have some kind of ache, and I occupy myself with something else, like focusing in a movie or doing something else, I won't be feeling it as much because I won't be thinking about it. If I get hurt and I think about it, it will hurt more. So everything really depends on our minds and what we tell our minds. It's like because I know it's going to hurt, it hurts, and if I say it's nothing, it won't hurt as much or at all.
As I wrote before, when I feel down, I can choose to change that and feel happy instead. Because I believe we can control everything. And here the book affirms this. You can change your emotion immediately by thinking of something joyful, or singing a song, or remembering happy experience.
The book says, the more aligned you are with positive feelings, the quicker it happen.
Our job is not to worry about the "how". The "how" will show up out of the commitment and belief in the "what".
So decide what you want, believe you can have it, believe you deserve it and believe it is possible for you. Visualize having what you already want and the feeling of having it already.
I really heard about people doing that and how it did work for them. Just imagine you got what you want and feel happy and you will get it. So take your attention away from what you don't want, and place it on what you wish to experience.
The book says to write your script. That means when you see things that you don't want, don't think about them, write about them, talk about them or push against them. Remove the attention from don't wants and place them on do wants.
I'ts like when you say "I don't want to be fat", "I don't want to fail", "I don't want to break this", you are actually focusing on the "fat" or "fail" or "break" and your mind is actually absorbing the opposite which is removing the word "don't". So it becomes like "break this", "I'm fat" or "I want to fail". So what the book talks about is instead of saying "I don't want to be fat", say "I want to be thin", so the mind focuses on the word "thin" and not "fat". Also "I want to succeed" instead of "I don't want to fail". Or like if you keep saying "This is going to make me sick" or "I'm gonna be sick", you will! It's all about our minds and thoughts. Just replace these negative thoughts with positive ones.
In "The Secret", they give an example of Aladdin and his lamp. When Aladdin rubbed the magic lamp, a genie came out and said "your wish is my command". Anything he wanted, he just had to wish for it, and the lamp gave it to him.
Is that so? Mr universe?
It is all about what we wish for, and the universe give us.
I have also read the book "The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari", and it basically talks about how to do all that. It says that the mind is like any other muscle in the body; If we don't use it, we lose it. So we must exercise it, otherwise it will grow weak and we won't be able to control it.
The book repeats that imagination is more important than knowledge. You will never be able to hit a target that you cannot see. It says that things are always created twice: first in the workshop of the mind and then, and only then, in reality. It says that by controlling the thoughts that you think and the way you respond to the events of your life, you begin to control your destiny.
We each think about 60,000 thoughts on an average day. By writing out your desires and goals on a piece of paper, you send red flag to your subconscious mind that these thoughts are far more important than the remaining 59,999 other ones. Your mind will then start to seek out all opportunities to realize your destiny like a guided missile.
When you make your goal known to the world, there will instantly be pressure on you to work towards its fulfillment.
Once you master your mind, body and character, happiness and abundance will flow into your life almost magically.
How cool is that? I believe it is true. And I will try it.
I will write down my goals. I will try to have positive thoughts always. I will visualize the things i want and believe them happening, just as I saw they do it in the movie; take a picture of the thing I want and look at it as if I already have it... Everyday untill I really get it. Whether it's a big house, a thousand dollars salary, a great job, slim body or whatever.
I will let you know if it works :)
