The Secret Inspires Us

The Secret is a book that is seemingly sweeping the nation giving hope to the masses using the basic age old formula of positive thinking. Lately the coverage of this book has been sky-high as it was featured on Oprah; therefore prompting the rest of America to jump on the bandwagon. Now everyone from nightly fluff entertainment shows to local TV news stations are picking up on the story of The Secret and how it is changing lives. But is The Secretreally changing lives or just attitudes? And is that one in the same in the end?

I can tell you from experience that The Secret can be a life changing experiment if you allow yourself to be changed. This is really the main obstacle, as you must be open to the change and when implementing the ways of The Secret you must completely re-train your thought patterns. The goal of the book is to teach the reader how to use the basic elements of positive thinking in his or her life to change his or her whole perception of the world.

Yes there is the strong mention of energy, matter, and the law of attraction and how it is science that truly makes The Secret work, but the average American may not buy that logic in the end. The main purpose of the book is to teach the reader to channel positive thinking in such a way that even the negatives that may (and will) occur in life come out in a positive light.

One of the key points in the book is to show gratitude towards everything you have and have experienced in your life. This ranges from a pay raise to a car accident. You must be grateful for what you have before new things can enter into your life. If a tragedy of sorts occurs you are to be grateful for whatever lesson comes out of the tragedy. If you can reach this point where you are thankful for even the negativity that is in your life you have will have truly mastered The Secret and will live a much happier life overall.
