About six months ago I received an email from a friend. The email consisted of a link and the words ”This will change your life.” I clicked on the link and it directed me to a video clip. An Australian woman spoke:
“A year ago my life had collapsed around me. I’d worked myself into exhaustion; my father died suddenly and my relationships were in turmoil. Little did i know at the time, out of my greatest despair was to come the greatest gift…”
The woman continued by saying, in her lovely Australian accent, that her life had changed when she discovered a book with some sort of mysterious “secret” and that she was going to change my life by sharing this secret with me and the rest of the world.
Thinking that this was some sort of lame self help thing, I stopped watching within the first two minutes. I’ve never really cared for all of that “Who Stole My Cheese?” “How to Win Friends and Influence People” sort of thing…
Well, as the months passed I started to hear more and more about Rhonda Byrne’s The Secret. My brother told me to watch it; my mom told me to watch it; several friends told me to watch it. Still, I declined with “that lame self help sort of thing isn’t for me.”
About two weeks ago a friend of mine finally convinced me to check it out. “It’ll change your life,” she told me. Instead of watching the movie I purchased the audio book from the iTunes music store and started listening and you know what? It did change my life!
The basic principal behind The Secret is that if you really want something and truly believe that it is yours then you will receive it. It’s called the Law of Attraction. It sounds crazy, but I really think that there’s something to this wild theory and maybe even to all of those “lame” self help books out there. Who knows, I may even start reading books like “Who Stole My Cheese?” and “How to Win Friends and Influence People!”
Here is the first 20 minutes of the movie that I found on YouTube. Check it out and see what you think– maybe it will change your life too…
