"The Secret" DVD and book has caught the world by storm since its release in 2006. Millions of people have watched the DVD and read the book. The Secret reveals the most powerful universal law governing all aspects of life - health, wealth, relationship, happiness, power, etc. Here are some of my top ten takeaways from the book.
Law of Attraction
The most powerful law I was talking about is the Law of Attraction. It is based on the notion that whatever you think you're attracting. A person's thoughts, feelings, beliefs and actions (positive or negative) will attract a corresponding positive or negative experience.Thoughts and Feelings
Thoughts and feelings are central to the universal law of attraction. You have to be aware of your thoughts and feelings at all times. If you're thinking negative thoughts, you will be attracting negative experiences. For example, you are running late for work and you stopped at the first red light. You may be thinking, "Oh no! Just when I'm running late, I hit all the red lights." What you're doing is actually attracting all the red lights and you will have to stop at each traffic light. Have you experienced that? I have.Ask
You can have anything that you want as long as you ask the universe for it. And you need to ask only once! Ask and the universe will move towards giving you what you asked for.Faith
After asking, you must have faith that you are going to receive what you have asked for. You must truly believe that it's coming to you.Feel Good about Receiving
When you really believe with all your heart and soul that you're receiving what you've asked for, you will feel good about it. Keep that feeling in you at all times!Gratitude
Be grateful for all the things that you have. Say your thanks every morning as soon as you wake up for the wonderful things that is going to happen that day. Be thankful for what you've asked for, even before you receive it.Meditate
Sometimes, negative thoughts sneak into our minds. What do we do? We need to quiet those thoughts and what better way to do that than to meditate and concentrate on the positive things in your life.Visualization
A great way to kickstart your actions to receive what you've asked for, visualize as if you have already received it. Close your eyes and truly feel the joy of having what you have asked for.Give to Receive
The more you give (even if it's a small gift), the more you will receive. When you give, remember in your thoughts that there is more to where that came from, and more will be returned back to you.No to Sacrifice
When you give, you're not sacrificing. If you feel that your gift is a sacrifice, you're feeling as if there is a lack of prosperity to go around. You will be attracting the lack of prosperity to you. So, you must think abundance!
The Secret has changed the way I think about my life and I am practicing the Law of Attraction to attract the wonderful things in the world. And so should you!
