Self Help

I am sure by now many of you have seen or at least heard of "The Secret"
I have heard many different opinions on the movie and the book, but I wanted to comment a bit on my own personal thoughts.

I strongly believe that "The Secret" has a lot of useful information. I view it as a guide on ways to improve my life. I have challenged myself to put into action some of the ideas in the movie.

1. Positive attracts Positive
2. A strong belief almost always turns into reality
3. Set a vision and dream big

These are just 3 of many ideas in "The Secret"

Read on and I will go into more detail about how I am challenging myself to improve my life. Please feel free to comment on your thoughts of both this lens and "The Secret" as well as your beliefs about the law of attraction.

The Law of Attraction

Does it really work??

Alright, in this lens I will talk about the 3 things mentioned above.

1. Positive attracts Positive
2. A strong belief almost always turns into reality
3. Set a vision and dream big

It doesn't matter if you have seen or read "The Secret" in order to understand what I am about to talk about. These are things that anyone and everyone can understand without having to watch the movie or read the book.

So first off POSITIVE ATTRACTS POSITIVE

As the name suggests, when we think positive thoughts we naturally attract positive energy. The opposite of this is if we think negative thoughts, we will naturally attract negative energy. For example, when we are driving and someone cuts us off, we usually feel some form of anger or frustration. This in turn gives us a negative feeling that you may notice usually turns into more negative feelings. If you can train your mind to think that the person who cut you off, must have done so for some extremely important reason, you can change those negative feelings into understanding. Personally, I figure I will never really know the reason for this person cutting me off, but it really doesn't do me any good to get mad. I am much happier when I am thinking about positive things, and I am in total control of that emotion. Be in charge of your own thoughts!

Secondly, A STRONG BELIEF ALMOST ALWAYS TURNS INTO REALITY

The Secret teaches us that if you believe in something strong enough, it almost always turns into reality. If there is something you want in your life, the best thing to do is remind yourself of this everyday, several times a day. You have to almost convince yourself that you already have it. Imagine the feelings you would feel if you were to have it in your life at this very moment. Harbor those feelings and think about them everyday. When I say you have to want this and believe you have it, you really have to believe. It is a lot easier said than done. Try doing this with small things. Even if it is a book or something. You have nothing to lose, so its worth a try right :)

And finally, SET A VISION AND DREAM BIG

Alright, so I think this is a very important part of everyones life. If you have no vision, you are basically just driving in the dark with no headlights. Even if you aren't completely sure of what it is you want for the next 10 years of your life, I still think it is very important to have a vision. You can make it for what you want for the next year, or the next month, or even the current week. Give yourself small goals that you want to accomplish and enjoy the feeling of accomplishment once you do them. I also recommend dreaming big! Why not have the dream to own a beautiful house on the ocean, or a sail boat to sail the world. I have the dream to travel the world.

Whatever you do in this life, do it because it makes you happy.

AWESOME DEALS ON BOOKS!! WHY PAY FULL PRICE WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE TO??

Great tools to improve your life

Here are some great books I have read and plan to re-read many times throughout my life. These books help you become the person you want to be. They really helped me have a more positive outlook on life and a much better understanding of how to communicate with others effectively and get what I want.

    Hi Lisa. My family and I have seen the movie, The Secret, and read the book, and many others in that related area. We have tried the positive thinking and visualizing & 'knowing' what you believe will be, and it actually works. We've tried it on small things like 'knowing' a parking space will be right where you need it, to larger things like getting that new job. It's not always easy to remain in the positive frame of mind, but well worth it, especially for the 'happiness' factor. I enjoyed your lens and knowing there are others who share in the 'positive' thinking arena. 5*

    Hi Lisa,
    Two year ago I watch the Secret 20 times if not more. I believe that thoughts become things. I believe that I will succeed in everything I do because of God.
    Thanks for checking out my lens on the Love Moon Anion Pads. I do social networking and one of my male friends name Lorenzo sent me a message and told me to just take a few minutes and watch the videos and when I say Antonio demonstrate the Anion Pads I was totally sold. We did are first demo last week and women have to have this. Winalite is also coming out with diapers and bandaids. If you like more information email your phone number and I will call you.
    I also strive to be happy and help people this is what I do.
    Take Care Beth
