You’ve probably heard of a little book called The Secret. Released in 2006, the book has sold over 5 million copies, been translated into 30 different languages and the DVD version has sold over 2 million copies. The Secret is simply the Law of Attraction (LOA), so if we think about something we will attract it into our lives. The book is discussed on hundreds of web sites; some praise the power of attraction and provide testimonials; others criticize the quasi science and Polly Anna positivity. Most of us would like to believe The Secret is true, because it promises control in a world ruled by chaos. We have little control except for our personal choices; what we believe and what we do.
"A shortcut to manifesting your desires is to see what you want as absolute fact."
The Secret is not new information. The Law of Attraction is a concept found in eastern religion and western literature. James Allen published As a Man Thinketh in 1902 and William Walker Atkinson used the term 'Law of Attraction' in his 1906 book Thought Vibration.
In 1910 Wallace D. Wattles wrote “THOUGHT is the creative power, or the impelling force which causes the creative power to act; thinking in a Certain Way will bring riches to you, but you must not rely upon thought alone, paying no attention to personal action. That is the rock upon which many otherwise scientific metaphysical thinkers meet shipwreck--the failure to connect thought with personal action.” The Science of Getting Rich.
Think and Grow Rich! by Napoleon Hill was published in 1937 at the end of the Great Depression. “When you begin to THINK AND GROW RICH, you will observe that riches begin with a state of mind, with definiteness of purpose, with little or no hard work. You, and every other person, ought to be interested in knowing how to acquire that state of mind which will attract riches.”
Even Anthony Robbins was captivated by the concepts of positive thought and he built an empire on a foundation of Personal Power.
The information has been reinvented and redistributed to millions of readers through the years, so why do we continue to struggle? Because positive thought isn’t easy. It requires constant attention and effort to identify and change negative thoughts. Thoughts ricochet in our mind and catching them before they do damage is like snatching bullets in flight.
"The only reason why people do not have what they want is because they are thinking more about what they don't want than what they do want."
I do believe that there is power in thought. We find what we seek; therefore we can find evidence to support our beliefs. In this way The Secret is absolutely true. I find it harder to accept the theory when it is applied to tragic events, natural disasters, poverty, starvation and genocide. To say these victims create these events with negative thoughts is thoughtless and cruel. Nonetheless, we still possess the ability to move beyond tragedy by choosing a positive outlook. According to Rev. Dr. Michael Beckwith, a contributor to The Secret, "It has been proven scientifically now that an affirmative thought is hundreds of times more powerful than a negative thought."
