The Secret
Before anyone asks - Yes, I did read The Secret and yes, I loved it. It also annoyed me. There was a lot of information saying that you have to accept and you have to believe. It did not tell you what to do when you have a hard time believing. It doesn’t come with a troubleshooting guide. Much of the book focused on getting more money in your life. As much as most people think that what they want in life is more money, that isn’t always true. The part missing from The Secret was the message that you have to want these things with your true self (see previous post). These things that you desire that will magically appear for you should be things that truely bring your true self benefit. When they do, it’s not difficult to believe and accept them.
We’ll take my example from yesterday’s post.
In the “positive” column of your homework page, you wrote that you felt good after a hug from your husband. This means that relationships and intimacy are things that are important to you and things that you would like more of. Would getting a million tomorrow make your husband hug you more? Would it create intimacy? Would your relationship get stronger?
You might not be a person who should be using The Secret for monetary purposes.
Now, take another example. Someone has written in the “positive” column:
I feel amazingly good and happy inside when I buy a pair of Jimmy Choos. This person has a solid inner self need for more money. She/he will manifest money.
I am not saying that everyone should want Jimmy Choos… or hugs for that matter. In fact, it doesn’t matter at all what you want, because it’s just for YOU not anyone else. Someone may dream about buying Jimmy Choos and think that it would be so amazing… but then they get the chance and finds that it makes them feel empty. Someone might think that hugs are the only thing missing from their life… they get a couple but they feel empty too.
Remember to ask for things that stay true to you. Not to who you wish you were, not to your best friend… just you. When do YOU feel good??? Make that happen more often, it’ll be good for all of us <3
