The Secret - Not a parenting question

Hi everyone,

Can anyone explain to me what 'The Secret' is all about?  I have looked on the website, but that doesn't really explain what it is, it just basically says to buy the DVD!

Thanks in advance

xx

I know so many people who say positive thinking will get you no where....it's only getting your hopes up.... well i am sorry to all of you who think that but i am a firm believer in POSITIVE THINKING!
I am 19 yrs of age.... when i was 8 my dad passed away.....8.5 months later when i turned 9 my mum and i were in a bad car accident and she was fatally injured.... what's so positive about that? WHat else did i have to live for? Nothing! I had no parents who would share the joys of a child with me, who would celebrate happy times like marriage with me.... I had nothing!
But you know something? I was positive and told myself i would get through it....each and every day i told myself the same thing! And i did! I now own my house (except for $30,000 of it LOL....but i paid $135,000 of it in CASH!!!) I have $5,000 in shares and although my financial side of things isn't the best right now.... they are starting to improve!
There ARE ways to earn money off the internet that are 100% legal..... and that ARE NOT a scam.... you just have to research properly and know what to look for!
I keep telling myself everyday that by the time i am 22 i will be a millionaire, and you know what? Its not that big of a goal! You know why? BEcause i already have 135,000 equity i can use to go and buy another home if i wanted too! Then once that is payed off i can go buy another one and onother one and another one! Loans are easy payed off....especially when you pay extra every now and then! hehehehe
I keep focusing on the positive things in my life and i appreciate what i have rather than focus on what i don't have! I Do tell myself everyday the goals i want to achieve and the steps to get their....but only ever small steps at a time! ITs always positive!

good for you honey.

'the secret' is just that POSITIVE THINKING. we are energys and what we belive and think whether it be positive or negative we draw towards us.

there is a show on wednesday night on oprah on channel 10 at 7-30pm in oz est.

i bought the book and couldnt put it down bc it fully confirmed everything i believe in.

GO THE POSITIVE THINKING

Hi
The secret is the people who brought out "the secret" are about to make a lot of money of a lot of gullible people looking for a bit more in life only to be disappointed once again

Havent  you heard that if you truly have a gift you share without financial gain...that is what a gift is.  And your rewards come in abundantly

A gift is not something you expect to give away only to get something back.  A gift is jsut that
A GIFT 
Luv Deb

That is because it is not easy to explain. I have watched the dvd and am not that much wiser. It is like a state of mind. How you think is what you get in life, that sort of thing. It is all about energy that you give off to the world around. You have to watch it because it is so indepth and it has heaps of people talking in it. It is like a documentary.

I'd say it's a rip of a lot of pagen relligion's like wicca coz that's what we do.....You meditate on what you want, asking the power of the universe or whom ever...I guess that's what pray to God & Buddah etc is too.  Until you make it happen because you end up believing in yourself.

That's Wicca in anutshell...The magic is believing in yourself & the bonus is that you are nice to the earth etc and you get to burn mainly nice smelling things and sometimes dress up LOL.

hi...i have been thinking the same thing. From what i can gather..... its all about the universe and postive thinking. For example instead of dwelling on bills that keep pouring thru the mail box....make believe they are cheques in the mail. Im sorry im not much more help but if u ask me i think it sounds a bit phony for my liking. There is a newspiece on tonight about it so will let i know what happens.
