the secret

I just finished reading 'The Secret. Whew! And then I realized, had I started reading for my Finals instead of re-reading HP1, HP3 and The Secret, I would have been long done! Anyway, I am really good in procrastinating (I shouldn't have said that if I want to apply what I just read) but with or without a long to-do list, "The Secret" is really worth your time.

The Secret is a self-help book written by Rhonda Byrne. There were a lot of contributors so it's not really a self-righteous-Rhonda-said-you-better-do-this type. Actually, I don't have a thing for  self-help books but this one got my attention because of some reviews I've read. Mica bought a copy then I read the first few chapters and I knew that it would be interesting.

There is nothing really new about what it says (though the packaging is really unique… so fab!)  but reading it somehow psyches me up to be more positive. Come weekend, my mom and I had to attend my bestfriend Rica's sister's debut and my mom was one of the symbolic gifts participants. We got this book for her though I was not done reading it yet then. I was positive it would help if she gets to read the book. I hope she enjoys reading it!

So today I continued reading the book. In essence it says that the great secret of life is the law of attraction. The law of attraction says that like attracts like, so when you think a thought, you are also attracting like thoughts to you. Just that! Mind over matter! I've always believed in this mantra and looking back in various instances, it is really proven that results follow expectations. This is funny but while reading I remember that I've always said that I'm a lucky gambler. True enough I always win! hehe… Kelangan sa sugal talaga i-relate!

Would you believe that I have a piece of paper in my workstation that has "Results follow expectations… Mind over matter … You can do it Emcee!" written on it. I had this written about two weeks ago. I just want to keep on reminding myself that life can get better as long as I have a positive mindset. Also, Mark 11:24 has always been my favorite passage in the Bible: "Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it and it will be yours." So reading the book lifted my spirit all the more. I knew the Secret all along! To add more, I put this in my IM handle:  "Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions." Albert Einstein. So I'm really into this thing! haha

I don't really do book reviews much but I feel I have to share and pay forward the blessing I received. Hope you read the book and have as much enlightenment as I had! Namaste!
