The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, best selling inspiration book in Malaysia and the other part of the world. I recently just bought the book after recommend by one of my schoolmate and finish read it within 2 days.
What The Secret talk about? Basically it talks about the Law of Attraction and how powerful it is. What is the Law of Attraction? It is the law that used by those successful people around the world to achieve what they have achieved as claimed by the author. By ask (request on what you want), believe (believe that you have it) and receive (feeling good that you “have it”), you can get whatever you desired from the universal (i.e money, health, relationship and etc). You only need to focus on, believe and visualize the end result or what you want, the universal will take care the rest. What does it mean? It mean by thinking and believe or visualize that you can get $ 100,000 cash, universal or the law of attraction someday, somewhere and somehow will give you the $ 100,000 without required you to know how to get the $ 100,000. As long as you believe and visualize it, you will get what you desired.
How true it is the Law of Attraction magic? No people can answer this question, only you can answer it. In my opinion, the Law of Attraction is true but to certain limit. What does it mean? Let me explain it. As you know or your might not know, what you are today is because of your thought toward yourself in the past. As per Henry Ford quote “If you think you can do a thing or think you can’t do a thing, you’re right”. Your thought will affect your behavior, your behavior will affect you action and ultimately it will affect your whole life or what you can achieve. Let me show you some example, so that you have more clear idea what it all about.
Let say A and B both are fresh graduate from graphic designing course, both have talent in graphic design and very good with it. A is a positive thinking person; B is a negative thinking person. One day, got a company advertise in newspaper looking for graphic designer and both A and B read it. A as positive thinker believe that he can get the job and able to accept the challenge even though he is fresh and don’t have any related experience. Therefore, A went for interview with confident and A gets the job. However, B as negative thinker thinks that he can’t do it because of doesn’t have any experience and etc negative thought. He went for interview with no confident at all and end up B dint gets the job.
The main point is, no matter how good or how talent you are, if you didn’t have correct thinking you will not able to fully utilize the talent you have. Your potential or ability is like water, let say you have 100 gallon of water (represent you’re the amount of potential you have), your thinking is like a bucket. If you limit your thinking or bucket to a very small size, say size of a cup, how much water can you fill in? Definitely is the size of the cup. No matter how much water you have, the amounts of water you can fill in still are the size of a cup. However if you thought or bucket is a size of 100 gallon or even 1000 gallon water tank, definitely you can fill all the water or in other word fully utilize your potential. I think that what author of the The Secret try to talk about, in order to achieve what you want, first you must have the correct thinking before you can achieve what you want.
The limit part of the Law of Attraction is by only think or believe is not enough. The universal will not give what you want only by think or believe. You must take action, in order to achieve what you want. There is no free lunch in this world. If a person can become millionaire by only believe that he can and sitting at home hope that one million will drop from the sky somewhere, then there won’t be any more pool people around the world. The main reason of 1% of peoples earning 96% of the world wealth is because they believe and take action!
