“The Secret” is a dramatized instructional video claiming the ancient secret to life is the law of attraction. The law of attraction states that you can attract virtually anything you think about.
If you focus on what you want and believe it will eventually manifest. Whatever you say and think happens on a conscious level. Thoughts become things according to the law of attraction. If you ask, believe, and receive as if you already have what you are asking for it will be. After watching the video I believe there is truth to the secret. But, it's nothing new.
Thinking positive, faith, and an optimistic attitude is basically what the law of attraction requires. The truth about the secret is that it is not easy to do. If everyone could actually wake up positive and hopeful every single day the world would be very different.
In reality, most people find it difficult to stay positive from day to day, especially when things are not going well. There are very few people who can stay optimistic and hopeful majority of the time. The ancient secret to attain everything you want in life works only as long as you can stay positive. The secret is all up to you.
