Can you tell me of an instance when you applied "The Secret" to your life and it worked?

Question

While on vacation, I got to read a little of the book "The Secret" which basically states that anyone can improve their lives in any capacity through their thought processes (the law of attraction). Have you ever applied these principles to your life? How? And what was the result?

Answer 1

The secret of "the Secret" is not in just changing thoughts but in changing what we do. In order to change habits and behaviour that doesn't work for us we have to first come up with an idea or a thought that can lead to new and different behaviour.

You probably know those people who have a million ideas and creative thoughts but nothing changes in their lives until they change what they actually do. If we sit around on the couch all day watching TV, no amount of inspirational thought will change our lives. If we go and do some volunteering, get a job, walk the dog etc, the "doing" is what puts life into motion in a new and different direction.

A book that starts as an idea, might be the greatest book in the world but it won't actually become a success until it is written. That takes effort, work, time, focus, commitment and concentration. That is the secret to making things happen in life - do it. Do whatever it is that you need to do to make your dreams real.  

  

The word "karma" that so many people think of as fate, actually means the things we do and the consequences that occur as a result of what we do. Action leads to consequence. That is the primary natural law of attraction that says what ever we do that affects other people will return to us for us to experience.

Answer 2

i tried.

and i thought it didnt work.

im a girl (was as fat girl)

and of course i wanted to lose weight.

and youre supposed to imagine yourself as you want to be and feel as you want to be.

anyways this was a few months ago.

and its funny because i ended up getting weightloss surgery

and now i feel how i used to imagine how i would feel.

im not sure if its because of the secret - or because i was proactively seeking a solution - but either way - im not fat anymore! :)

Answer 3

That's one big infomercial.  One big farce for positive thinking.  Nothing wrong with positive thinking--just the so called "secret."
