Whatever you want to be, you have the ability to be it, and the secret will tell you how
to get there.
You will learn that the universe works according to the law of attraction and how you can use
that knowledge to your advantage while working toward creating your dream life.
Will also show you why negative thinking doesn’t get you anywhere and that creating a positive
environment can be achieved in just three simple steps.
The secret to life is the Law of Attraction.
Once upon a time, the author, Rhonda Byrne, was feeling unhappy and overworked.
She thought that there must be a better way to live.
And she was right.
Ronda Byrne - The Secret Upon discovering old books such as The Science
of Getting Rich, which was written in 1910, Byrne learned that there was a secret law
that governs the workings of the universe.
Continuing her research, Byrne realized that poets like Ralph Waldo Emerson and William
Blake, and philosophers like Goethe and Plato, as well as all the major religions, referenced
one powerful law: the law of attraction.
In fact, this law is the most powerful one in the universe.
The law of attraction states that what you put out into the universe is what you’ll
receive in return.
So, if you’re full of frustration, anger, and other negative thoughts and emotions,
according to the law of attraction, you will only receive more bad things to be angry and
frustrated about.
Conversely, if you’re sending love, gratitude, and praise out into the universe, positive
things will come your way.
Whatever you tend to think and feel is what you’ll attract to yourself.
Furthermore, this secret – the law of attraction – is affecting your life right now.
You can measure how much negativity or positivity you’re releasing into the universe by reflecting
on your current state.
What occupies your mind the most will influence your state of being.
If you’re spending the majority of your time thinking about things that make you angry,
sad or disappointed, these thoughts will come to define your life.
For example, if you spend most of your day worrying about debt, you’re pretty much
guaranteed to stay in debt.
The good news, however, is that you have the power to change it, and you can start right
now!
The law of attraction doesn’t listen to “don’ts” but to the principles of quantum
mechanics.
The main reason that people aren’t benefiting from the secret to life is this: they’re
focusing mainly on what they don’t want instead of what they do want.
But the law of attraction doesn’t comprehend “don’ts”
If you spend most of your day preoccupied with the thought “I don’t want to fail
the exam,” the message you’re actually sending to the universe is “I want to fail
the exam,” since “don’ts” aren’t recognized.
Therefore, to change your current state, the message you send out has to be positive.
You need to tell the universe what you do want, like: “I want to pass the exam,”
or, “I want to live debt-free,” for example.
The more exact you are in what you want, the better – “I want to live debt-free by
the end of the year.”
The same ideology can be applied to larger phenomena in the world.
Instead of anti-war protests, there should be more pro-peace rallies.
We need to start thinking about what we want, not what we don’t want.
There are three steps to creating the universe you want to live in.
Your thoughts are like a TV transmission tower, constantly broadcasting your requests out
into the universe.
So if you don’t like what you’re receiving, you need to change the frequency!
Or, put another way, your thoughts are like seeds.
The more positive thoughts you plant, the more positive your life will grow.
In both scenarios, the message is the same: you are the creator of your universe, and
you can start to shape the world that you want with these three steps:
The first step is to ask.
Be clear about what you want or desire.
The best way to make sure the universe knows what you’re after is to write it down according
to a specific structure.
Use the present tense and ask with gratitude, as if it’s already yours, like so: “I
am grateful to have [insert your desire here].”
It can be an experience, such as, “I am grateful to have a healthy mind and body.”
Or your wish could be about a product or a person – “I am grateful to own a new car,”
or, “I am grateful to have a partner who treats me like an equal.”
Think of it like placing an order from the catalog of what the universe has to offer.
The next step is to believe.
You need to have unwavering faith, and you need to radiate the feeling and confidence
that comes from your faith so that the universe gets the strongest possible signal.
The final step is to receive.
This is also about sending out the right frequency by imagining the feeling you’ll have once
you get what your heart desires.
You could use a mantra to help simulate that feeling and repeat, “I am receiving now.
I am receiving all the good in my life now.
I am receiving [insert your desire here] now.”
By asking, believing, and receiving, you will create the positive environment in which you
can achieve what you want.
A wealthy, healthy, and loving relationship requires visualization and a positive mindset.
When trying to ensure that positive thoughts are your most dominant thoughts, you might
find yourself feeling overly anxious about any negative thoughts that threaten to emerge.
But you needn’t fret.
If you worry about negative thoughts, you’ll only make them worse.
What you should do is let that negativity pass as effortlessly as you can, and instead
focus on the good.
For instance, if you want to be wealthy, make that the focus of your thoughts.
Grab a pen and write, “I am grateful to earn one hundred thousand dollars a year.”
To help you believe and receive the positive thought, you need to visualize the end result.
No matter what you ask for, visualization is key in helping you achieve it.
Visual aids like this can help you to really believe that you will achieve what you want
and that the universe will make it possible to do so.
It will redirect your thinking to the right frequency, as will repeating the phrase “I
can afford it!” for the next 30 days when coming across things you hope to buy.
Following these steps will help with positive thinking, as will the belief that you deserve
good things, especially in your relationships.
Remember to treat yourself and others as you would like to be treated.
When you learn to love and respect yourself, you’ll find the universe sending you someone
else to love.
Unlike other wishes, love only exists as a feeling, so you’ll only be able to conjure
this emotion within yourself.
However, the more you think loving thoughts and send out positive vibes, the more likely
the same good feelings will come back to you.
Positive thinking can lead to weight loss and good health.
Think that our emotions have no impact on our health and weight gain?
Think again.
According to the author, to lose weight, the key is to avoid thinking “fat thoughts”
and instead start thinking “thin thoughts.”
Many diets fail to work because they keep you focused on negative thoughts, such as,
“I don’t want to be fat,” thereby worrying you into thinking that food controls your
body.
You shouldn’t spend your life worrying, and certainly not about every little calorie
of food you eat.
Instead, you should realize that food doesn’t control your body – you do.
If you want to be like one of those people who eat whatever they want and don’t gain
any weight, you need to stop worrying and start thinking like them.
To get your ideal body, the first step is to ask for it.
Then you need to believe and trust that you’ll reach that ideal body type.
After that, you can receive and start feeling good about yourself and enjoy the moment.
Besides weight loss, having a healthy body that can take care of itself is also the result
of your emotions.
Many ailments derive from stress, which in turn is caused by negative thinking, so you
can greatly improve your well-being by changing the way you think.
When a person really believes their body can cure itself, that belief becomes a reality,
demonstrating the scientifically-proven placebo effect.
Another scientific fact of the human psyche is that the body is constantly cleaning out
old cells and replacing them with new ones; every three years, you essentially have a
new body.
Remember this fact and recognize that the only thing keeping an illness around is that
you continue to hold it in your thoughts.
Imagine there’s a force in the universe that’s responsible for creating the world
we live in.
It has always been there and always will be.
Similar language is often used to talk about God or to talk about energy, but choosing
a specific name for this force is less important than realizing that it exists – and understanding
your relation to it.
The secret to life is to recognize yourself as one with the universe, that you’re an
energy field acting inside a larger energy field, where the goal is to be in harmony
and not in competition.
Don’t be fearful or feel like you need to compete with others to get what you want.
Besides, we’re all part of the same connected universe, so to compete with others is, in
the larger scheme of things, to compete with yourself.
Along with fear and competition, another reason for negative thinking is resistance.
As the psychoanalyst, Carl Jung put it, “What you resist persists.”
So don’t feel like you need to fight for what you want.
When it starts to feel like a chore, that’s when you know you’re on the wrong track
and frequency.
If you’re doing what you’re supposed to be doing, on the other hand, it will come
easily and naturally and won’t feel like work at all, because you’re following your
bliss.
This is what the secret is all about.
Remember, you have complete control over your thoughts, and thus complete control over what
comes your way.
No one else can create your universe for you.
Sometimes it might feel like your past is controlling your future, whether through regrets
over a wrong choice you made or trauma from an unpleasant experience.
But if you keep true to the secret and focus only on what you want, the grip of the past
will gradually loosen, and you’ll realize that you control your fate.
The book main takeaway is: The secret to life is found in the universal
law of attraction.
If you send out good thoughts and intentions to the universe, the universe will give you
good things in return.
Positive thoughts attract happiness, and, similarly, negative thoughts attract bad situations
and fuel existing worries and negativity.
But you can use this to your advantage since all it takes for a life filled with happiness
and wealth is focused concentration and positive thinking.
