I read a book yesterday-“ The Secret”. Seeing the cover page I thought it as fiction stuff but to the contrast it was a self-help book. Again it made me wonder thinking how funny people can be to buy these type readings which can only offer some trash impractical advices that we can hardly follow in our daily life.
As i was bored and left with nothing other than a 3 time read Femina I started glancing over the pages.
I won’t say it as exceptional but it was truly interesting. It was written by Rhonda Byrne.
(Later I googled and found out that it is one of the ever time best sellers and there is also a movie based on it)
“The Secret is a book, that presents what is claimed to be a centuries-old idea, the
Pseudo-scientific Law of Attraction, which means the power of an individual's positive thinking to change and influence outcomes in their lives. The book claims that by using the "Laws of Attraction", an individual can become wealthier, healthier, and happier. The book claims that the secrets outlined in the book have been known by famous and influential people for centuries, but that they have conspired to keep these secrets hidden from the general public for their own benefit”
It started with few quotes asking, what makes successful n unsuccessful people different. For me, it was circumstances/opportunities. I had no doubt on this as I have given so much thought into a similar question - why someone is destined to breathe life in sorrow while someone is not. For me, it is simply based on the situations we are into. Some by birth, some by accident…
This book made me think it in another light, like making me view everything in a different angle. Though it cannot be called as panacea (too early to decide), it did give me a hope...
It is not just about thinking positive. More than thinking positive it is an insight on how to really apply this practically .And some are really worth practicing. It is about changing the direction of our future or creating future with our mind power.
When we think something, we are actually creating it. I am not going into in-depth coz it is a known concept to everyone.
I want to share some positive moves which did work for me.
When you wake up, think strongly that this day is going to be perfect. Whatever you are thinking, think in positive terms. I stress positive "TERMS” .ie, If I want to loose weight ,never think that I will trim down my weight; think that I will slim down .
Think about what you want to be and not what you don’t want to be.(Confused!??!). It is such a simple concept; it’s a simple mind game. Only think on what you wish to happen.
Only when we try to avoid we realise how much negatives we use a day.
When we avoid those negative words we are avoiding negative thoughts, when we are avoiding negative thoughts we are avoiding negative incidents from happening. Every activity in this world is triggered by mind/thoughts .So control those triggers.
When we think or act we are creating and sending a frequency, if it is negative it will attract more negative energy while if it is positive it will attract more positive things to our life.
I tried to apply this and sometimes I took more than 5 minutes to get a proper replacement word that gives me the meaning I want(without being a negative) .We are so much in grilled into some words that we have never given a thought of an alternative. It is good when we think or talk to our self.
Before going to bed, do a recap on the day and replay the scenes or situations in the way you actually wanted it to be. Make our frequency into full positive .Create an image of your next day, in complete order, sketch it in the perfect way you want it. This makes your sleep calm n quite.
Just try it for 2 days strictly and you will be truly amazed by the result.
The three steps all should follow according to the book is to
ASK-Understand & ask the universe what you want
BELIEVE-Believe that it is on the way and think about receiving it. It is a sort of tricking yourself to believe
RECEIVE ……:)
Earlier my strategy was:
Don’t get too much worried about anything, it won’t help anyway.
When there is an issue, think of alternatives or solutions. Reasons should be probed after giving the first aid.
Now, I think it is good if I can avoid that problem itself by just keeping all the worries out. That’s much better.
I found loads of comments about this book/concept. Some believed it fully, some have criticized it ruthlessly. I opt to stand in the middle. I got an Indian approach; everything got its own good n bad. Just take the good one and avoid the appalling…We have the ability to discrete.Blind followers will never be right because they will always be blind. So take what you think as good and just discard the rest.
I don’t want to write a lot on this coz the subject is vast and its vicinity stretch to beliefs, myths, art of meditation, power of concentration etc of which I am clueless just like you. I have promised to myself that I won’t write anything in this blog which I haven’t personally experienced or felt for. ..
I tried out some tips from this book ,like trying to keep a positive note and felt really good…When I googled and read those comments I got confused. .But still I feel everyone should give a try..coz it really makes you feel good(i dont know what else to say)...
It doesn’t harm anyway…
Try ..
