How many of you have read or watched the movie the secret,
I have. I also taught the subject years before the movie came out. The movie is misleading.
I've been really Into this for a little while. I feel like it has positively effected my life.
Describe/define "positive effect".
It makes me feel like life is more fulfilling.
No. It truly doesn't. Nothing makes you feel anything. That is your own doing.
But has anyone ever gotten the financial wealth from using it.
If they claim they have, they are lying.
I havnt. I have only gotten from it that life is a choice and I can choose happiness. Joy. Gratitude. Faith. And thereby making me happier.
Nothing makes you happier; only you do. Happiness comes from a state of being brought about by choice. When you are one to have happiness that occurs when you have things occur, you are basing your happiness on external factors. And you are attracting more of the same by
being this way.
-------------------------
No, happiness does not create wealth.
Agreed!
However both happiness and wealth come from the same set of causative factors.
Yep. And they are not what many come to believe.
-------------------------
I always heard. Do what you love. And love doing what your doing and wealth will come to you,
I have heard that too. It's not so simple and those who espouse and promote are not telling it right.
Attraction is a
game of preparation and chance. What you must do to play well is
consciously play by game rules.
- Wealth starts by being wealth minded - BE.
- This brings about actions which promote wealth and minimized waste - DO.
- This increases the probability of wealth and decreases the probability of waste - HAVE.
Whatever you "love" to do, it has to be done in such a way as to provide some value to others when you want to do it so well that people willing toss money at you for doing it. It's not as simple as just doing it without an end in mind. That end in mind must have continuity with all the actions that support it.
If you chose to love all this, it's icing on the cake. But you don't have to. That's still optional.
...the only thing I really love is sharing my ideas.
Then you must create or be within a system that rewards you financially for sharing them.
Define "positive". BTW - This can work against you should you define it improperly in terms of life, the universe, and everything - you know - REALITY.
...Maybe I should finish writing a book.
That would be a good idea, if doing so serves some valuable purpose.
...I don't know if wealth will come from that but I'd feel good about doing it
Classic mistake. Who you are choosing to BE, is someone who
sees an end in mind but who has no solid plan to bring the EIM about with the "feel good" being the driving force. What you will ATTRACT is the result that such BEING brings about.
