Actually this whole "Secret" thing makes me quite mad.
It's a blatent rip off of an author from the 1950's who first revealed the "Secret". It's typical - repackage it and make it like it's something new.
In fact I think even Oprah did a special on it - very sad how they are duping people with this new found spirituality.
Napolean Hill also wrote about it, "Think and Grow Rich".
Essentially...
Like attracts like...
You can menifest what you want in your life by having the right "thoughts"
think negative thoughts and you will attract more negativity in your life, the very thought of wanting, means that you are lacking and will continue to lack.
Ah.... no intergrity in this world anymore ....
The fact is show me a successful happy person and I'll show you a doer.
Have goals, keep your promises to yourself and follow through, stop sabotaging your life and your efforts, love deeply, do unto others, choose your friends wisely, treat others with respect and you will do just fine.
What I am saying is that there no one secret to success, there are many many ingredients that go into a successful happy life.
