Do you believe in the "Secret"?

For those who aren't too familiar with it the "Secret" is a series that includes a book and movie that revolves around the law of attraction. Long story short the idea is that your thoughts can manifest into anything you want. That is if you have only positive thoughts and truly believe that it will happen. Do you believe in the law of attraction or the "Secret"? For me personally I believe that everything happens for a reason. Some people say it's "God", others might say it's just chance, and some just say it's the law of attraction at work. So I would like to think that the "Secret" does exist because I can't tell you how many times things ended up going my way just because I really set my mind to it and believed that it would. I just think it's a very powerful thing and to me it's very real.

I don't call it a secret though. I look at this as an ability. One that we, the individual, have control of. I always activated this ability and it worked like a charm. I still do this from time to time.

I like that thinking. I believe that it's something but everyone has a different name for it with the "Secret" being the popular one in recent years.

I think that when I decide to believe something will happen that I also take steps to make it happen. So, I guess I believe in my ability to make things happen with hard work and a plan. It has to start with an idea first.

its so great that all your ideas come true. i wish mine also. even i think positive and try my best to do things it seems that when everything is ok something bad happens. anyway i will try to be strong and dont let that affect me. and still believe that whatever i want can happen.

Yes I agree with that. I think a lot of people won't believe in something because they won't take the first step in order to achieve something. You do have to put in some work, you can't just sit around and wait for something to happen you have to get going and make it happen.

@sweetloveforeve I think I make sure not to be working on too many things at once. And sometimes a small step is enough to make me feel I made progress. I want to unclutter and organize my home. I got rid of 4 vases this week. That is a small step that makes one cupboard look better. But I feel like I am getting somewhere.

i agree that everything happens for a reason even though sometimes we dont understand why. about believing in the secret i tried to believe in it, i really did, but for me it didnt work. i tried to believe that a guy i liked who went apart from me suddenly without telling me why would come back to me and he never did. for a long time i believed he would but he didnt. in the end even if we think positive if god doesnt want it doesnt happen.

I guess it's a conflicting thing for some people. It's a strange concept to believe in the law of attraction or the "secret" and everything happening for a reason if you really think about it. Then again life is a strange thing when you REALLY think about it. This can go into a really deep conversation about why we are here and what is really our purpose.

I believe in "self-fulfilling prophecies," which I think is similar. But I'm not familiar with the "Secret" book or movie.

I found the book and movie poking around in a thrift store. People do this stuff and give it away. Look around and you might find it. A lot of times, I think about what I want and then I find it. You could probably find one or both on Amazon.

I am still trying on the Law of Attraction. But it seems it doesn't work all the time....
