The Secret: Have You Seen It?

The Secret is one of those movies that seems too good to be true. At least that is how I felt when I was first introduced to this often talked about movie. A little bit kooky, a little bit spiritual, and a lot of larger than life ideas that seem too much for most people. But once I finally sat down and opened myself up to what the people in The Secret were trying to tell me I finally understood what it was all about. And now my own dreams are coming true, one at a time.

The basic principle is known as the Law of Attraction. It simply says that like attracts like, something that many of us can see in our own day to day life. But in The Secret we take this simple truth a step further, in that we attract that which is similar to us. Spend the day brooding about bills and more bills will arrive; envision yourself in that new car and it will be yours. Suddenly you begin to make the connection between what your thoughts take you and where you go.

Through positive thinking, we can shape our lives. The people in The Secret; such as Jack Canfield, John Assaraf, John Hagelin, and Lisa Nichols share with us their own understanding and work using The Secret. We are shown how to create the lives we want by our own thoughts. We can see time and time again through the lives of the teachers in The Secret just how powerful positive thinking can be.

To many this seems like nonsense and hot air. Knowing how to change your life for the better just by changing your thoughts can look like a page from a science fiction novel. Those who scoff at the knowledge handed out in The Secret will never really understand what they are being shown. But for those who can open their minds to the profound insights offered there is a new way of seeing the world opened up to them.

So now I have to ask, have you seen The Secret?
