The Secret Sequel Will it Compare?

Whats Missing in The Secret?

The Secret Law of Attraction wasintroduced to many people for the first time in the phenomenal hit movie"The Secret". However, The Secret DVD doesnot go far enough to explain how the Law of Attraction really works. Lets hopethe upcoming sequel to The Secret continues with whats missing in the originalmovie.

When the Secret DVDfirst came out, and when people heard about it on Oprah, there was a mad rusharound the world to get a copy of it and to find out for themselves. I lovedit. My eyes were opened. I still count it as one of my favorite movies.

Lots of people gotreally excited about it.

At last, they cried, NOW I understand. All I have to do is focusmy thoughts on what I want, and change the language in my head. I can manifestANYTHING I think about. As long as I think about it hard enough and longenough.

Iwant to get results and fast. I dont want to wait for months or years for mydreams. I am going to practice LOTS of visualizing and positive self talk. Illget my Dream Life NOW

They eagerly watchedThe Secret over and over in anticipation that this would bring them theirgoals. They thought about their Dream all day long. They made Vision Boards andLists of Goals. They kept a Gratitude Journal.

Now these are allextremely useful tools. Use them.

But does only thisreally work? Can you manifest just like this? Really?

This is where The Secret falls short.When you watch it you get the expectation that you can manifest your dream outof nowhere. That belief and faith will automatically bring you what you want.Well yes and no!

You MUST take action.

Mike Dooley says: ThoughtsBecome Things

A friend of mine GideonShalwicks has a great quote that he uses: Thoughts are only potential things. Theybecome things only through specifically directed action.

The Secret DVD only brieflymentions taking action. But it needs to be really spelt out.

Focus on your goal.Visualize it with feeling and excitement. Repeat it in your head or out loud. Buthere is the important missing bit ..every time you get a little idea just popping into your head about ways to getcloser to what you want, you MUST actupon it. (Bob Doyle says: You mightget some inspired idea of some action to take.) That little idea is TheUniverse responding to you reaching out saying This is what I want.

Thinking constantlyabout what you want IS important; you must focus on what you want. (JohnAssaraf says: You become what you thinkabout most but you also attract what you think about most).

But unless you DOsomething you are just a dreamer. You are just building castles in the air.

TheScience of Getting Rich was the little book which inspired TheSecret DVD. In this book, Wallace D Wattles wrote:

man must not only think, but his personalaction must supplement his thought. Bythought you can cause the gold in the hearts of the mountains to be impelledtoward you; but it will not mine itself, refine itself, coin itself into doubleeagles, and come rolling along the roads seeking its way into your pocket.

Yourpocketbook is not going to be transformed into Fortune's purse, which shall bealways full of money without effort on your part.

Thisis the crucial point in The Science of Getting Rich; right here, where thought and personal action must becombined. There are very many people who, consciously or unconsciously, setthe creative forces in action by the strength and persistence of their desires,but who remain poor because they do not provide for the reception of the thingthey want when it comes.

BY THOUGHT, THE THING YOU WANT ISBROUGHT TO YOU; BY ACTION YOU RECEIVE IT.

And you must act NOW.Do not wait until you are in the perfect situation, the perfect job, theperfect relationship. NOW is the only time you have.

I love this sayingthat Sherry in the Organic Fruit and Veggie Shop told me the other day:

PAST,PRESENT, FUTURE

ThePast is History

TheFuture is a Mystery

ThePresent is your Gift do it NOW

Put your whole mindand strength and act to the very best of your ability in the situation in whichyou presently find yourself. Do your absolute best in your current job today toprovide service for your customers, your employer and your work colleagues. Bethe best you can in all your relationships with every person you meet. Lookafter your health today as if your body was a sacred temple (it is).

Make every day asuccessful one. A successful day is one when you have done your very best, whenyou have been as efficient as possible. You know if you have dallied around andwasted time and energy - having days like that actually take energy from you,disconnect you from The Universe. They dont feel good YOU dont feel good.

Make very day awinner.

Now this doesnt meanthat you should work yourself to the bone, working late with long hours and runningaround after the whims of other people. That is not successful.

If your days are ALLsuccessful, you are moving in the right direction. Keep holding a clear imagein your head of what you want, while being deeply grateful and The Universewill respond to you and bring you closer and closer to your dreams.

So - Does The Secret Really Work?

Well yes and no!It has made us aware that we can consciously use our brains to focus ourthinking and putting our intention towards where we want to go. And as youchange on the inside, you expose yourself to larger possibilities BUT, whenthose possibilities come along, then this is the time to ACT.

Have a fabulouslysuccessful day.
