If you'd like to be, then you're in the right place.
So, what's the secret?
Well, actually'it's The Secret.
You've probably heard about it. Oprah has featured it on her show, as has Larry King and Ellen Degeneres.
"The Secret" is a film made in 2006, which is now in book form, as well. The film is based on what is called "the Law of Attraction" and outlines its principles in a documentary format.
So what is The Secret? What's the Law of Attraction all about?
It's very simple, and you'll probably thump yourself on the forehead when you hear it?and that's part of why it's so amazing.
The Law of Attraction posits that by thinking positively, you attract positive things to your life. By not dwelling on the negative, you are not allowing the negative in. To go one step further, it posits that your thoughts determine your destiny.
We've all heard the sayings "you get what you pay for" when it comes to purchasing an item, right? Say it's a car. If you always go for the cheap car (the negative) just because it's less expensive and requires less work, is that car going to be reliable (the positive)? Will it successfully get you from Point A to Point B every time?
If you had made a more positive action by ponying up a little more money for a car in better condition, you would end up with a reliable vehicle to carry you through your day to day needs.
Makes sense, right?
So, we can sum up the Law of Attraction in that way: instead of saying "you get what you pay for," it's saying "you get what you think about."
It sounds so simple, but how many times in our lives do we constantly dwell on the negative possibilites? What if I don't get that promotion? What if I can't pay my bills? What if I can't make a success of my business? What if I can't feed the family?
What purpose does this serve us? If you think about it, dwelling on such negative thoughts only serve to worry us more, drag us down more, and put us in a mindset that is not conducive to letting success get its foot in the door and lead us to better things.
However, what would happen if you were to switch those negative thoughts around? Instead of worrying over not getting the promotion, think about how you will get that promotion - then think about all the great things you will do to better your company and yourself?and what you will do with that nice new pay raise.
Thinking positively will put you in a mindset that is open for positive things to come your way. Like attracts like.
