Yes I can understand your point. In my opinion the world seems a very materialistic place these days not for everyone but for most. I believe that
the secret DVD was made for the 21st century, however the law of attraction has been known for years. The secret DVD is just a different way of putting it across. I think it is great to focus on better health or greater relationships etc etc and the secret will work for these things if you have a burning desire for it!
I think the secret creates people to believe they can have anything they so wish for and that is the whole point! It doesn’t matter if people want material things, better finances, to be healthy, wealthy and happy. It is up to the person what they choose to desire.
The secret may come across materialistic but maybe the creators of the DVD believe that, that was the way to reach millions of people to tell them they can have as much money and materialistic items and they wish.
Whatever our opinions, thoughts, judgments we are all doing
the secret every day however not always the right way so just be careful what it is your putting your emotion into.
I don't want
more debt, I don't want
more debt - The underlined words are the ones that go into your subconscious – Why not try I am debt FREE!
I am
very happy, I am
very happy - The underlined words are the ones that go into your subconscious
Do you understand what I mean??
I few years ago I read the book
Being Happy and it really opened my eyes to what I was doing to myself and my partner.
A few pages into the book I read –
Broke patterns – Have you met someone who is always broke?
It is not what we make, but what we do with what we make! People with a ‘broke pattern’ work on an automatic programme. Whenever they get any spare cash, they go looking or somewhere to get rid of it. As sure as you get an itch and scratch it, they’ll get some money and…….spend it. (For those of you who are in sales, take heart!). Mostly, they never realize what is happening. They figure it is the economy or the government or their salary that has got them into trouble. But you could double their salaries and they would still be broke! In fact, the reason why most people who win the lotteries lose the lot, is that their inner pattern is saying, “all this money doesn’t feel right. It doesn’t fit. You’d better do something about it.
I kinda had an aha moment when I read this. I met my partner and he was just as this paragraph described. Me on the other hand, I never really was broke but after a while of being with my partner that all changed. I’m not saying it was his fault why I was broke all the time it was mine we both focused on how little money we had why we could not do things because we were broke etc. However between us we were very comfortable it was just our ‘broke pattern’. I could not believe it when I read this tiny portion of the book. It was time to change. It was time to change what we were saying to ourselves. It took a few years to brake the habit of being broke but we are finally there now and so much more happy. We have started saving and paid off most of our debts so we have rid ourselves of stinking thinking and our ‘broke pattern'. We always have enough money now for what we want to do even if we have to save for a while
Another time this was just a few weeks ago. I remember on the secret it says to practice it on something small like a car parking space waiting for you at the mall or wherever it is you need a space. I thought what a great idea. I thought I would try it.
Normally when I am getting ready to go out half my wardrobe ends up on me and then on the bed and I end up going out unhappy and annoyed with myself. So this time I changed my state. I told my self that I was feeling great and that I was going to have a great night, I felt it, put emotion into it and repeated this to myself over and over and over and do you know what it worked I had a shower put an outfit on and did not change it 10 times I was amazed. It really worked I proved to myself that it was true the secret really does work and all those other times that I had gone out feeling miserable was my own doing I had told myself that was going to happen without even realizing it. Amazing yeah!! Well if it works for this tiny incident imagine what you can have and achieve!
I really wish you many great experiences in life. Do something great for yourself – Watch
the secret or even read
Think and grow rich that is the same really just told again in a different way.
I hope all your dreams come true whatever they may be
