A few years ago, Oprah did a couple of shows on a movie that had recently come out called "The Secret." This wasn't a comedy or a drama....it was more of a documentary/self-help movie centered around the idea of "the law of attraction."
For those who don't know, the law of attraction basically states that "what you think about, you bring about." That the thoughts and feelings you hold in your mind are actually creating the reality of your life as it unfolds. It's kind of a mind-blowing concept, and one that I want to learn & write more about.
After I first saw "The Secret," I really started to focus on applying some of the teachings to my life and some incredible things happened. I landed a wonderful job and an awesome boyfriend....things were definitely looking up. Then, somehow, just as things were turning around for me, I lost my way. I stopped paying attention to what I was thinking and allowed a lot of negativity into my life....and things in my life went downhill accordingly.
I'm not sure why, but a few days ago the idea to download a copy of the movie randomly dawned on me, and I went with it. I rewatched it, and something about it just rings so true for me. I know that when I focus on things with lots of passion and intention, magic happens. I have seen it in my own life. Now, I need to learn how to put that into practice long term.
To that end, I've pulled out some of my old law of attraction books, and bought a new one, and I'm really going to spend some time thinking about how "The Secret" might be able to help me turn around some of these problem-areas in my life. Some people might think it is quackery or new age nonsense....and that's fine for people to believe....but like I said, something about this concept just resonates with me. It certainly can't hurt to look into it some more, and it could make all the difference in the universe. :-)
