The Secret

If anyone has been religiously watching Ellen or Oprah, they may have come across a segment on a book called The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. The reason why I decided to write about this is because books of self inspiration has grown to be very popular and widely used to steer many lifestyles.








What exactly is this book about? The law of attraction.

What is believed to be Newton's law of attraction has vastly become a central philosophy that abundance in the universe can be drawn by the simple power of thought. Scientist believe this idea can be controversial and they believe the human mind can not control anything beyond the physical structure of its own body.


To contradict that, many names that have been immortalized have been the people that did possess such a trait of becoming what they believed firmly.

Although the book does possess a magnitude of self help and life changing strategies, I found a few flaws that may have people questioning certain teachings. The book teaches and relies solely that whatever you think is what you manifest. Therefore, the I think I can nature is strongly influenced. Then, in order to become important, we have to believe ourselves that we are before other people can believe it as well. While all that is beneficial to keep in mind, the book also believes that problems of other people shall not be ours nor shall we dwell on anything negative. Sometimes, this may lead to denial of our faults and we learn nothing from mistakes from doing so. Contemplation based on what we have done and reassessing ourselves is important. I believe that.


Sure, you can be a millionaire by pretending you have that money in your bank account but you'll also have to get up and do something about it in order for the amount to be depositted. Here is where the book comes in handy when it does prep you for something you may have doubted yourself before and now based on the law of attraction, you will collect this money.

My absolute thought is that this book speaks truth. How so? When you go to work and appear grouchy to your coworkers, I'm sure many times a coworker will also feel as though they have issues then pass it on to the next person and a chain reaction has then begun of negativity. The power of the human mind is a complex subject but I believe we, as human beings, understimate ourselves to the point where we think we don't have control over certain matters.

After finishing The Secret, I did notice change in my personality and well being. I'm a fairly positive and optimistic person, however, in just a matter of days, I started going back to the good things I used to love like writing. Did it attract anything else I wanted? A better outlook on life. Now, of course, life does not change within twenty four hours or even a few days but it's a start and as long as I keep the motivation to be what I want to be, to imagine exactly what I want in life, then it'd be a million times easier to reach it.

I highly recommend this book to everyone. It has quotes from philosophers, mentors, big names, and then some. It has the clues to create a better environment for yourself no matter what situation you're in.
