The Secret is True (sort of)

If you want to achieve something, you had better work for it, visualize success and everything you will need to get where you want to go. This visualization is called 'The Secret'.

But will visualization get you everything you want?

The 'law of attraction' (as the secret is also known) seems to say you CAN.

The Truth in The Secret Is the secret true?

My personal opinion is that 'The Secret' is sort of true - and sort of not true. Here are my reasons for agreeing with The Secret:

It is true that success usually comes to people who know what they want and are willing to do what is necessary to get it

Gratitude really helps you become a better, happier person.

It is true that emotion and health are related. If you are depressed, you are also likely to develop physical problems.

I use visualization myself as a tool to make it very clear to myself what I'm working towards

If you want to change your life, it will help to visualize the way you want things to be, instead of only focusing on what is wrong now.

If you want something, do not pass opportunities by. This ought to be obvious, really - but it is part of 'the secret'

Reminding yourself of what you want, through affirmations and even notes posted around the house is a good way to stay focused.

What is NOT true in The Secret

Success comes to people who aren't only determined, but also lucky, talented and hard working. The Secret only addresses determined and hard working.

Illness may be linked to emotion, but it is going too far to say that therefor those who are ill brought this on themselves. Some illnesses like cancer are actually known to bring depression along with them. In that case it is going to be very hard to 'just think positively'.

Emotion is linked to the body as much as the body is linked to emotion. An unhealthy body will often bring on negative emotion.

Blaming the sick, the poor and the needy for their condition is like kicking someone when they are down. Helping them get up is a more appropriate response.

The Secret often sounds like a ticket towards wealth - but that is bull. We can't all be wealthy - for one thing: there aren't enough resources on this poor earth.

If you want to change your life, dreaming about how you want things to be isn't going to help. You need to focus on what's wrong now and fix it. Usually it will be ONE STEP AT A TIME.

Wealth is not the only way to get happy and fulfilled. , and .

Law of attraction -- 4 Simple Steps to Attract Wealth In Your Life

Do you think people become rich by working hard?

If so, why is it that only 5% of the population is wealthy whereas 95% of the population just manage to get by despite putting in long working hours?

There is a wealth formula that the rich uses. This same formula has made them rich and even if they lose their wealth today, they can easily rebuild their wealth again.

What is this wealth formula? This article shows you how you can build wealth in 4 simple steps

(1) State Your Intention clearly

Each day, your mind process many thoughts. When these thoughts are not focus and occur randomly, they have little power to create wealth in your life. You need to focus your thought and know exactly how much wealth you want in your life.

It is simply not good enough to say I want to make all the money in the world. All successful sales-people can quote you the exact amount they want to generate.

While stating your goal, you may not know exactly know how to achieve your goal. Please do not be bother about it. The universe will know the shortest way to get you to your goal. You need to trust that the universe will unfold the plan to you step by step as you proceed.

How do we define a good goal? It should be something, which you believe is achievable, yet is challenging that it scare you a little.

If you are earning $8,000 per year currently, you may not want to set your income goal as $1 million since it is difficult for you to believe that this goal is achievable. Once you have doubt, it is a negative emotion.

You want to set your goal in small baby steps. So start with a goal of earning $100, 000

While you may not know how to earn this $100,000, you have to believe and expect that you will attract this amount into your life.

(2) Set A Time Each Day to Live Your Dream

Life has become so hectic that most people barely have time for themselves. But it is important that you set aside 10 minutes each day for your dream.

Your dream does not ask too much for your time. Just 10 minutes a day when you can totally relaxed your mind, get connected with your emotions and ask yourself what do you really want in your life.

(3) Visualize Exactly What You Want In Life

Visualization is a huge topic. I have written few articles to show you how do you create effective visualization.

Content (that is your stated intention) itself is insufficient to manifest a goal into reality. You need to have positive emotion when you think of your goal.

The more clearly you can visualize and the more positive emotion you feel towards your goal, The faster it will manifest into your reality.

(4) Take Definite Action Towards Your Goal

You need to deliver definite action to achieve your goal. No man gets rich by doing nothing.

The universe may hand you a plan by giving you an inspiring idea, or attracting certain resource like people, book or event into your life.

When that happens, you need to act and that's what the universe is expecting from you.

Some people may say I do not feel comfortable about certain changes I need to do. This is understandable. No one likes changes. We all prefer to remain in our comfort zone.

I like you to consider this question: "Do I achieve what I want in my life by doing things in the same way?" If your answer is no, then you need to change so that you can bring in different results in your life.

You just need to master these four simple steps to start attracting wealth into your life! Did you find this article useful? For more useful tips and hints, points to ponder and keep in mind, techniques, and insights pertaining to credit card, do please browse for more information at our websites.
