The Secret

[becki x]

If everyone does it and knows about it , will it still be a "secret"?

When it's no longer a secret, what will they call it?

Calling something "common knowledge" or "common sense".will have nowhere near the effect, although they have both been round since the year .........

I wish I could sell crutches for millions to the millions.

Ha ha ha i get you

But,some don't naturally have a positive train of thought,some have ilness which controls their train of thought,it doesn't matter what it's called if it helps /teaches someone gain positive mental attitude that they didn't have before,does it ? x

Is that the right price $179 for the DVD- isn't that a little expensive?

I was a little turned off by The Secret because of the way it quickly became so commercialized.

After reading positive comments here, I bought and watched the DVD and am quite inspired by it.

But the sceptic in me makes it hard to buy into it all. I don't like the statement that everything in our lives is a result of our own doing simply because that is a horrible message for people around the world who are suffering deplorable circumstances.

I guess by mentioning my instinct to be sceptical, I am just attracting more scepticism to my life! I really want to get the book and understand this better. I guess the key is not questioning it but just living it!

I do agree that the more you focus on something wrong in your life, the more you attract that situation!

Yes I agree with you - and I now feel that to be honest an awful lot of people have now made an awful lot of money by exploiting the positive thinking attitude.

The amount of sites I found of people saying this and that about "The Secret" or some aspect of it was amazing, then you find they're offering some sort of course, a dvd, a book, cd's which costs money of course.

Yes! That's exactly what turned me off. I really do like the quotes though and will try to take it for what it's worth.

Also the health thing bothers me too. That if you think the right way your body will fight off disease. There is validity to that but does that mean that the pollution and poison we've put into the atmosphere can be combatted this simply? All the things humans have done to our planet to raise the incidence of cancer can be taken care of by positive healthy thoughts?

It almost makes it sound like it's your own fault if you have cancer because you didn't 'think' the right way. I know that is simplifying it a bit but I don't like that message of indirectly blaming the ill person....

bumped this up as I have just ordered the book.

Its coming up to the school holls so will have a bit more free time as need to take time off to look after little un, and thought it would be interesting reading.

So, how is it going with everyone?

 

[lenna]

how much did the book cost you, this is an interesting thread as only a few days ago my friend was aking me if i ever heard off it and how good it is, but i would be a believer in the power off positive thinking i think the words that come out off our mouth and what we constantly dwell on have a way off coming to us, sure, things happen in life, things that noone can explain seems no reason for, but i also believe that confidence and positivity is what puts people ahead and keeps them happy

 

[hippy-chick]

got it 2nd hand off amazon and it came to £7 including postage, its already been posted.

I am on the understanding that it has something to do with positive outcomes in one's life and food for thought so to speak

A Ayruvedic type of sense.>?

The truth is that the universe has been answering you all of your life, But you cannot receive the answers unless you are aware. Be aware of everything around you because your are receiving the answers to your questions in every moment of the day. The channels those answers can come through are unlimited. They could be deivered in the form of a newspaper headline that attracts your attention or overhearing someone speaking, or a song on the radio, or signage on a truck passing by, or receiving a sudden inspiration. Remember to Remember, and become aware.

If its a secret how come they are telling everyone about it whos buys the book or cd ???????

 

[the nail fairy]

:hug: Hi Lellipop

Have you read the book, or seen the CD?
If you haven't maybe that is why you are asking this question/statement.

( you will understand this a lot better if you have read the book or watch the CD) as to why it is called the secret..

I can't write enough great things about "The Secret" It has helped me so much in my life!!!
I was a struggling Nail Tech always questioning my abilities and lack of clients. After putting "The Secret" to the test, My whole life has changed for the better!!

I have become a better nail tech and I have so many clients, that now I have had to start turning some away. ( This is the absolute truth)..

My personal life is great/fantastic too.. I am a very happy/positive person..
I have turned negative into postive.!!

Remember if you think/send out positive thoughts the positive energy willcome back to you.
and if you think/send out negative thoughts it is only natural that the negatvie energy will come back to you.


Sincerely;

The secret about the secret is that it's not a secret

The book is a collection of all things common sense that you have heard elsewhere and a message that the universe kloves you and gives you stuff you ask for.

Unfortunately if you keep expecting bad things you keep getting them. If you embrace it wholeheartedly it works, if you doubt it, it doesn't. You can say the same about prayer though, it is the doubt as to whether it has been heard that helps it to fail.

Also you need to notice and take opportunities.

Worth a read.

Here's my 2penneth for what it's worth

I came across The Secret about 18mths ago when I was making a call at work to some guy to try to upgrade his mobile phone contract. Cutting a very long story short, he had the book and was reading it as though his life depended on it and was trying to put everything into practise because his life was falling apart. I have to say, I don't know if it helped him, but I was intrigued so I went online straighaway at work as soon as I put the phone down on him and bought it from Amazon at a lower price than he had suggested form the shops, so that put me in a positive frame of mind straighaway, lol! I've not got the cd or dvd, so can't comment on those.

It's ideas are very old going waaayyy back and it's pretty much about what most people know anyway. Try to be postive no-matter what is thrown at you and as Nailzoo said 's*** happens. The laws of attraction is the main point and about being proactive not reactive in what you want from your life, make positive things happen for you. If you don't, no-one else will. I try to live my life like this anyway, and moreso now than ever because I know what I want, and determination gets you quite far, and again as has been said some of the quotes by some well known public speakers are great.

Acting with confidence is another thing that struck me when reading this book, and I try this too with great effect most times . Sometimes I don't want to let people know I'm just starting out, so I fib and say I've been doing it slightly longer than I actually have , this actually instills more confidence in your client too, thinking that they're not your first job, and I know I'm good at what I do, even though I'm a newbie! It does sound like I'm blowing hot air up my own behind but that's the way I feel. Put my mind to it, I can do it and do it well, and I am great, lol!

I think it has become heavily commercialised which I don't really like, but that said, the people behind it thought proactively and made it happen

Actually I like this book more than I realised! (Goes off to dig it back out )

I have always followed my life this way as my Dad does - tho he didnt tell me until I was older, I believed in myself as do all my family and bad things only happen to me when I let them. The last place I managed had a firm belief in this going a step further and encouraging us to attend seminars that cost tens of thousands I'm a strong person so dont believe a seminar would have helped me, wouldnt hurt but I dont need a trip to bahama's to tell me things I've always known - I am responsible for EVERYTHING that happens to me. When I left UK I tried to be a diff person, a stepford wife, it didnt work, everything was bleak - I was coming up for 25 going round n round then I woke up and said it was now or never - I took the day off, went to a suppliers demanded they hire me, enrolled on my teaching course I had been putting off and bought a dress for my bday. Everything was good!
I didnt think I was good enough - why? because I said I wasnt, I'm brilliant now - why? cos I say I am!
If it works for you then do it, if you want more then there is more for you, if it doesnt work then ask why................... if you just wanna b Paris Hilton then sorry m8 you need more than a book.

After having read this thread and replies the words THE SECRET going round and round in my head ,i logged onto their webpage and started reading it, it does sound good but it's compared to a similar one i read years ago about self belief. For the past 9 years I only started to believe in myself,i'm strong that way now,but before, i didn't believe in myself i was thinking things such as am i every going to do this and do that ,get out of this rut ect..ect..and everything was going from bad to worse in my life so yes nailzoo s**t happens and it was always happening to me because i was thinking that way, it was when i went to the local library and was drawn to a book called talking with angels i took it home and started to read it , i thought it was a bit out of my depth and i would be seen as nuts and i did think to myself i must be crazy, but this book helped me turn my life around and put it back into balance and started believing in my self...My personal and working life is fantastic and I am a very happy/positive person..i have turned negative into postive,i'm spiritual and feel alive.... to cut a long story short you know the whispers you hear in the quiet that make you quickly turn round...don't ignore them

Think i might just order this book after all ...just for the read
