From thesecret.tv

"The Secret reveals the most powerful law in the universe. The knowledge of this law has run like a golden thread through the lives and the teachings of all the prophets, seers, sages and saviors in the world's history, and through the lives of all truly great men and women. All that they have ever accomplished or attained has been done in full accordance with this most powerful law.

Without exception, every human being has the ability to transform any weakness or suffering into strength, power, perfect peace, health, and abundance.

Rhonda Byrne's discovery of The Secret began with a glimpse of the truth through a 100 year old book. She went back through centuries, tracing and uncovering a common truth that lay at the core of the most powerful philosophies, teachings and religions in the world.

What Rhonda discovered is now captured in The Secret, a film that has been viewed by millions around the world. The Secret has also been released as an audio-book and printed book with more than six million copies in print.

The Secret explains with simplicity the law that is governing all lives, and offers the knowledge of how to create - intentionally and effortlessly - a joyful life. This is the secret to everything - the secret to unlimited happiness, love, health and prosperity.

This is the secret to life."

It is my friend.....I swear by it too.....And it has literally changed my life for the better, as well as another guy I know.
It's new to me....So I'm trying to share it with everyone I know, love and care about.
And I'm just getting started

**themajormt** · 12-31-08, 01:36 PM

It is almost scary that my Uncle described it to me in the same manner... I am going to watch the DVD tonight. Did you just read it? What has changed for you so quickly?

**SlicWilly3** · 12-31-08, 01:40 PM

As long as your "open minded" it WILL work for you too.
Start with a grateful list.....This should be long. Can be everything from people/kids/relatives/friends in your life, your pet, your car, roof over your head, health, job, freedom, your flat screen tv, etc..... Can be ANYTHING.....
Then make a dream/vision board. Cut out of magazines, etc..... Things you want to come into your life. Mine for instance has such things as..... A beautiful new car, condo on the ocean, Bulova diamond cut watch, traveling/exploring, nice office, happiness, etc, etc....
Can be things you want soon.....Or 6 months.....Or a year, anytime.
But have it somewhere where you can see it everyday, and visualize yourself with whatever it is you want.
Do this each day for a few minutes.
Read your grateful list EVERY MORNING when you get up.......And you can even read it at night before you go to bed if you like.
Put an honest effort into this, and your life will change for the better.
This isn't 99.9%. It's 100% my friend.

**themajormt** · 12-31-08, 01:46 PM

I am definitely open minded... And could use a change for the better. I am in the process of listening to Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich, which isnt bad. Its all about the people you surround yourself with and your thinking and determination.

Has anything changed in the better for you yet? I will keep you posted on mine!

Just today for example as I stated earlier.....I woke up in lets say not the greatest mood.....I just wanted to sleep in today. But I couldn't....So I got up and grabbed my grateful list and read through it. When i was done I was smiling, and my mood had already shifted for the better.....And it has carried over all morning and into the afternoon right now.

Is everyday going to be great and happy? Of course not....We all will have things that happen in our lives that upset us, or put us in a bad mood. But if you truly put an honest effort into this. You will change your life. Your life WILL improve.

We all have a lot to be grateful for, and sometimes we just need to be reminded of these things.

Focus on the "good" things in your life, and more "good" will come.
If you focus on the "bad" things in your life, your are unconciously attracting more "bad."
When you have an inspired thought, you have to trust it, and act on it!

"Energy flows, where attention goes!"

It's all in your "mindset."

Example: Don't be ANTI-WAR.......Be PRO-PEACE

No way man!! I'm actually reading 2 books right now!
"Think and grow rich" by Napolean Hill!
And "Blink" by Malcolm Gladwell!

Think and grow rich is amazing! I'm only about 25% of the way through it though.....But am looking forward to finishing it.

I've been in Sales all my life.....And this book, and The Secret are vastly improving my career as well as my life.

Maybe it can help my gambling?

**themajormt** · 12-31-08, 01:59 PM

I definitely could use the help on the gambling... I made the final table of an online $55 buy in tournament yesterday. 1st place pays like $12k, I flop trips, dude goes all in, I KNOW he is going all in on flush draw, I call and wouldve had a 3-1 chip lead, and of COURSE he hits it. I am thinking before the turn, please no flush pleas no flush. I know everyone is going to say its not that bad but I had a 30% chance to improve my hand and I get smoked. It happens ALL the time to me. I play by the book and some lucky dick wins...

Ill let you know how it goes! GL to us!!

I sat through this DVD after my ex ordered it on NetFlix. I swear, I want those two hours of my life back. Some people swear by it, I swear at it

**themajormt** · 12-31-08, 02:33 PM

haha... I guess its all what you put into it and going into it with an open mind.

Really? What about didn't you like and made you swear at it?

Maybe it is my cynicism. Maybe it was my ex's unrelenting desire for me to see it, but after watching this boring "mockumentary", I was left with a lot of questions and no better feeling than when I started watching it. I do believe in luck and I do believe in positve thinking, but for me to believe that The Secret will make my gambling life better is just hard for me to swallow. I wish I could be more specific, but I cannot. I will reiterate, I thought the DVD was very boring.

Ok, fair enough.....You entitled to your opinion of course.
I didn't post it here though to try to help people's gambling life better....
For everyday life in general. Your future......
Maybe it was because you didn't really want to watch it to begin with......If my gf forced me to watch something, part of me would probably not be to high on it either....Just out of being "forced to watch it."

I never saw the DVD but i did see one or two episodes on Oprah about it (so I don't know if I really understand...) Oprah attributes this 'law of attraction' to her success as well as many other successful people. They of course didn't call it 'the Secret', that's just the new name for it.

From what I understand, the main concept is that if you have to be open to allow better things into your life and most importantly appreciate what you already have, because that will make good things want to come into your life. If you don't appreciate what you have, why would better things want to come into your life? That's just my understanding.

At first it just sounded like another one of Oprah's fads that her multitude of followers would try out for a couple of weeks, and fail at no doubt.

All that being said... I do believe in negative and positive energy flow and all that, but this just hasn't worked for me. Maybe I need to watch the whole DVD.

How soon after your Ex ordered it (and watched it), did you two break up? She may have gotten more out of this DVD than you did.

**Casperwaits** · 12-31-08, 04:40 PM

We had been broken up when we watched it together. Our relationship had no effect from The Secret.

**Chi_archie** · 12-31-08, 04:40 PM

so its like New Age-y stuff?

If you guys have an hr and and a half to spare you should just check it out online

I'm not trying to preach to anybody.....And this really only works if you have an open mind, and WANT it to work..... But I know it has changed many, many lives for the better.
Who wouldn't want their life to be better?? There's always room for improvement.

This sounds exactly like the plot from the recently released Yes Man starring Jim Carrey:
