The Secret - My Thoughts

Book:  The Secret

Author:  Rhonda Byrne

Publisher:  Beyond Words

I first heard about The Secret on a news report over a year ago.  The report talked about this new phenomenon and the Law of Attraction.  The next day I went and got the book and read it that night.  It’s not the greatest book ever written (from a literary aspect) but this book changed my life!  It explains the Law of Attraction in a very simple way and teaches you ways to incorporate this concept into your life.  That night I began setting intentions for the next day, focusing on the positive and being grateful for the things I already have in my life.  I didn’t realize until I started this process what a negative person I was.  It was such an eye opener.  I had to totally retrain myself how to look at the world.

A few concepts in the book I didn’t embrace right away.  I liked the thought that I could attract anything into my life, but that also meant I had to take responsibility for the unpleasant things in my life right now.   I’ve had a chronic illness for the last 12 years and I couldn’t wrap my brain around the thought that I “attracted” it into my life.  But after awhile I realized that if I attracted it to me, I can get rid of it too.  I’m in no way cured of the illness (yet) but the past year I have had very few symptoms, I have more energy and I’m not constantly thinking about it.

I was so inspired by the book, rather than loan this book out to everyone, I bought everyone who I thought would benefit from it their own copy.  I now have a great “positive thinking” support group and can’t imagine not living so consciously ever again.

The greatest part of using the Law of Attraction is the people that I’ve “attracted” into my life!  A lot of them already were in my life but in a much different capacity than they are now.  Others have come into my life under some of the most unusual circumstances.  It is absolutely amazing to watch this law at work!

I should warn you that once you start learning about the Law of Attraction, you’ll want to know everything.  I have read more books in the past year, than I probably have in my entire life.  What’s really cool is when you’re really paying attention, the Law of Attraction will put the exact book in your lap that you need.

A huge thanks to Rhonda Byrne for inspiring my new life!!!!!
