The Secret Gratitude Book: Volume 8 (The Secret Library)

Product Information

However, when I speak of a positive thought, I mean the normally transient positive thought, not the exhausting "Santa Claus on Prozac, at Disneyland, getting laid" kind of positivity used to satisfy one's materialistic desires - spiritual beings sure like mansions, expensive cars and other representations of opulence. Things that are alike attract! That’s what the book says and that if our thoughts have the right frequency then they will attract the things we want and the authors try to say that is a scientific law. Well, magnets with the same charge repulse so STFU! The second thing that made me roll my eyes was when they gave us an example of weight! The book claims that there are no such thing as diet effect, it claims that there are “Fat thoughts” and that fat people keep attracting weight. That’s why there are some people who eat a lot and do not gain weight, they don’t have those fat thoughts!!! Wow, so what I have learned in medicine school about metabolism and different kinds of fat is all bullshit? Okay, okay, I will go with the flow. The book mentions that you can’t attract a thing to another person but yourself, how are there “Fat babies” with hypothyroidism for example! Did they attract these thoughts with their underdeveloped brain or did their mothers do so? Oh they can’t do that, sorry!! This book has changed the way I view the world. I like to re-read The Secret at least once a year. I own the book, audio book, and film. I will openly admit that there are some ideas, phrases and quotes that cause me to laugh out loud, but the overall message of the book is one of optimism, gratitude, love and power. The sequel, The Power is likewise amazing.

The Secret is based on the belief of the law of attraction, which claims that thoughts can change a person’s life directly. What you’re thinking right now is creating your future. You’re always thinking, and you are always creating.”– Rhonda Byrne, The SecretDon't get me wrong, The Secret has some valid points. You should envision your dreams. You should think about your goals constantly and imagine what you would do if you ever achieved them. But you should also think about and envision the steps you need to take to get there. Then you should act. Do something! The world is not just going to hand you what you want. There is a truth deep down inside of you that has been waiting for you to discover it, and that truth is this: you deserve all good things life has to offer.”– Rhonda Byrne, The Secret 11. “Your thoughts become things!”– Rhonda Byrne, The Secret

The book is small, which I like somewhat as it is very portable, and the magnetic closure is convenient - and pretty strong! It feels good in the hand and looks like an ancient leather book with embossed words for "Thank you" in different languages on the cover. You will live in a different reality, a different life. And people will look at you and say, "What do you do different from me?" Well, the only thing that is different is that you work with The Secret. Most of us have never allowed ourselves to want what we truly want, because we can't see how it's going to manifest. Everyone visualizes whether he knows it or not. Visualizing is the great secret of success.”– Rhonda Byrne, The SecretWhat do you want more than anything right now?. Think about it a lot, feel it, and you will receive it.”– Rhonda Byrne, The Secret The more you use the power within you, the more you will draw it to you.”– Rhonda Byrne, The Secret Byrne encourages readers to write down things they are grateful for every day and to focus on positive emotions such as joy, love, and gratitude. The book is beautifully designed, with inspirational quotes and affirmations sprinkled throughout, making it a joy to read. You get to choose what you want, but you must get clear about what you want. This is your work. If you're not clear, then the law of attraction cannot bring you what you want. You will be sending out a mixed frequency and you can only attract mixed results. For the first time in your life perhaps, work out what it is you really want. Now that you know you can have, be, or do anything, and there are no limits, what do you want?
