Everyone has a dream,
whether it be owning that ultimate sports car
or that beautiful second home in your favorite vacation spot
but most people see these as distant dreams that may never be achieved
or achieved much later on in life
well... according to the secret by Rhonda Byrne
you can have your greatest desires right now
Hi this is Darren with Philosophize Now!
Do you think having your wildest dreams come true
right now sounds too good to be true
well let's see if this animated summary of the secret can do just that
So, what is the secret?
It is the law of attraction and what this means is that
your thoughts are magnetic and attract similar frequency thoughts and events
and thus everything that happens to you
is brought to you by your own thoughts
let's look at the author's own life story as example of the secret at work
So Rhonda was in a very tough situation
she just lost her father
and was really struggling with the relationships in her family and at work
when she was given a hundred year old book
Which contained fragments of the secret
this inspired her to research and find out more and more about the secret
and while researching she had a vision to make a film
using the principles of the secret
she hired a film crew and flew to America
we should do most of the teachers of the secret lived
she did this without having any of the teachers
confirmed to be in her movie
and while in America events and people were magnetized to her
and this created the secret in just seven weeks
with 52 teachers agreeing to be in the movie
let's now look at how to apply the law of attraction in our life
This involves three main steps:
Firstly, Asking
Here you have to clearly define what it is you want
so let's look at my friend Ted here
he says but HEY! I already have things that I wanted I haven't received them
well what Ted wants is to be rich
but the desire to be rich is not specific enough
as there is no clear measure to know when you have achieved this goal
a better desire would be to set some specific amount you wish to achieve
the second step is Believing
Here you need to believe that the universe will give you that which you asked for
this is said to be the hardest step and some tips to help with this process are
Visualization
which involves either at night or in the morning
visualizing having the thing you've asked for
and secondly giving that which you asked for
but you've got to give from the feeling of abundance
and not as a means to an end
the third and final step is Receiving
Receiving involves acting as if you have that which you've asked for
this helps to reinforce the belief that you will receive that which you ask
this does not necessarily mean
going out and buying that for Ferrari you want
But could do all the things around what
you would have to do after you had the Ferrari
Like checking how much insurance will cost
and where you're going to do your services
Now that you know The Secret and how to use it
let's look at some tips and shortfalls that happen when you try to use the secret
Tip 1: The universe doesn't understand I don't
For instance, when you're running late you mustn't think I don't want to be late
because this will keep all your focus and energy on the lateness
and thus draw it to you
Instead you should focus on a positive like I am going to be early
and this can be applied to all aspects of life from personal issues
such as not focusing on the health problems but the good aspects of your health
to world issues such as instead of focusing on anti-war movements
You focus on promoting peace movements
Tip 2: Emotions indicate thoughts
So if you're struggling to figure out what thoughts you are having at any given time
You can always use your emotions as a guide to what you are thinking
as you cannot have negative emotions and positive thoughts
or positive thoughts and negative emotions
and thus your emotions can be a early warning system
to indicate when your thoughts are negative
Tip 3: Using secret shifters
Secret shifters are anything that puts you in a good mood
whether it's music, thinking about a loved one
or one of your favorite places
and then whenever you catch yourself with negative thoughts
you use one of your secret shifters to help improve your mood
and bring the positive thoughts back
Tip 4: Make sure your thoughts, words and actions are aligned with what you want
let's look at an example from the book
Byrne talks about one of her clients,
who was trying to apply the secret without much success
he is an artist who's constantly surrounded by beautiful woman
but yet can never get any of them to go out with him
and his desire was to have many short-term relationships
and while discussing these problems at his house
she noticed that he had a lot of paintings that had woman with their backs turned
when she asked him about these paintings
he said they were all over his house because he really liked this style
Byrne suggested that he changed these paintings
as these paintings were sending him a message that he won't be noticed
and rather have paintings that align with what he wanted
when Rhonda saw him six months later
He told her that he had done what she said and that it worked miraculously
and he was dating a different woman every week
and this shows you how easy it is for what you want and what you do to not align
and one must be aware of the thoughts which may be limiting them
some examples are:
thoughts like I can't afford that
or all men are pigs
