That, in essence, is the message of The Secret. It's really not such a secret when you think about it. Pessimists have a lot of negative things happen to them. Optimists have a lot of positive things happen to them.
Another name for this is the Law of Attraction. You attract into your life what you think about: good or bad. Let's take a moment and see how this would work when applied to education.
When sitting down to learn something, begin thinking positive thoughts about yourself as a learner. Each time you sit down to study or read, begin by saying, "I am a good learner. I can understand this." You can add more if you like but that is enough.
As you continue to study, repeat your affirmations from time to time. Maybe you could write them down on an index card and have them nearby.
When it's time to study for a test, you could change it a bit and say, "I'm going to do well on this test. I know this material and I'm going to show it tomorrow."
When it's time to take the test, repeat to yourself "I know this stuff. I know this material. I can get this." Remember to say it to yourself from time to time throughout the test.
Now, before you brush this off as silly, let's look at how most students (probably you, too) approach learning.
When you sit down to learn something you say, "I'm not smart like other people. I don't understand things easily. If only I were smarter, my life would be so much easier."
When it's time to study you say, "I don't get this. This is stupid. Why do we have to learn this stuff anyway?"
When it's time to take the test, you say, "What is the answer to this? I don't even think we had to study this. I can't get this."
And the worst part about this is, these things are being said so often in your head you don't even realize it. If you're like most people, you probably have even more negative phrases in your head.
Who is going to learn more in the long run?
It's obvious. The person who is positive and attracts positive thoughts, positive events and positive outcomes into their life.
It's time to take the Law of Attraction seriously. You really do attract into your life the thoughts that you have in your head. Whether they are good thoughts or bad thoughts.
The changes you'll see will be mind-blowing.
Law Of Attraction And Relationships
The film "The Secret" has set in motion a wide spread thirst for more knowledge regarding the Law of Attraction. It has awakened people all over the world to the incredible and powerful Law of Attraction and how it can work miracles in your life. It has shown that whether you aware of it or not, the Law of Attraction is constantly working actively in your life every moment of every day. The people in your life, the environment you live and work in and the life experiences you have are all the result of the Law. All the events of your life were first set into motion through attraction. However, there is one key area of this great and powerful law that was not covered entirely in the film and it is essential you know about it.
Although you're thoughts, and especially your emotions, are responsible for kick-starting the Law of Attraction there is one piece of the puzzle that is often missing from the many great teachings on the subject.
The biggest secret to getting results from the Law of Attraction is to take appropriate action. No matter how small the action may be, you must be prepared to move towards your desires in some manner. There are three essential steps you must follow in order to successfully use this law.
The first step to utilizing the attractive forces of the Universe is to realize that the Law of Attraction is always actively working in your life. You must understand that it is directed by the thoughts you hold in your mind. Therefore you must hold only positive thoughts about the things you do want and, as best you can, disregard the things you do not want. Remove your focus from the things in life that displease you and you will not attract them to you. If you could focus your thoughts and emotions only in the direction of the things you want in life then that is all that life would give you.
The next step to consciously activating the Law of Attraction for creating your desires is to instil emotion into a mental image of you already possessing your desire. It is imperative that you create strong positive emotion. Emotion is the catalyst that quickens the process that changes your thoughts into reality.
The final step is often the hardest for many people because they think the law will work in a mystical way. However, the final step is imperative - you must be prepared to take some action! This is a key point that many teachers fail to tell people. If you take no action the Law of Attraction will still work and it will still bring you opportunities, people, events and environments that will surely lead to your desires but if you do not act on these opportunities then you will probably not achieve your aim.
This action should not be viewed as a chore or something that you must do. The law will bring circumstances into play that will make the action feel enjoyable or even inspired. For example I make money trading on the Stock Market. However, when I first learned of the Law of Attraction I visualized daily and created strong emotion but took no action. I was waiting for money to fall into my lap, a lottery win or unexpected windfall to come my way and guess what – it never happened!
Once I began to take small steps towards my goal it was amazing how fast things started to fall into place. For a long time I had been coming across references to the stock market and trading techniques that seemed to produce real tanigle cash results. However, I had ignored these signs. However, once I decided to take action it became clear to me that trading stocks may be a good way to generate the additional income I wanted. Therefore, I began looking into stocks myself and was soon identifying the same patterns. Before long I was accidently finding trading books in obscure shops that had the very information I needed.
However, I had a problem. I did not have the needed income or disposable cash to invest. But rather than give up I knew that through the Law of Attraction I had attracted this information and the new desire to trade stocks. Before long I had an additional £20,000 to invest ( that came from a very unexpected source) and began trading on the London Stock Exchange.
Now this will most probably be very different from the way you will receive your goal (if it is money) but the process will remain the same. You must be willing to take some action in order to realize the benefits that the Law of Attraction can give. If you take even tiny steps towards your desires the Universe will rush in and take huge leaps to meet you!
