The Secret of My Success
My mother sells Mary Kay Cosmetics (I want the new TimeWise® Cellu-Shape™ Contouring System that is coming out!) Anyway, when she asked me to watch a video on “the secret of success”, I rolled my eyes thinking it was probably some recruitment video. But lo and behold, it had nothing to do with Mary Kay Ash’s business plan at all (although rest her soul, she probably knew the “secret”).
As we watched the video, my mother turned to me and said, “Kim, you already know the secret and didn’t know it… You wanted a new house, and you got it.” Maybe I do somewhat, but I feel one can never be too successful. So, I’ve been pondering the secret over and over by thinking positively and adding pictures of my goals to my internet start page. Not only monetary goals, but intangible goals as well.
Fragments of a Great Secret have been found in the oral traditions, in literature, in religions and philosophies throughout the centuries. For the first time, all the pieces of The Secret come together in an incredible revelation that will be life-transforming for all who experience it.
In this book, you’ll learn how to use The Secret in every aspect of your life — money, health, relationships, happiness, and in every interaction you have in the world. You’ll begin to understand the hidden, untapped power that’s within you, and this revelation can bring joy to every aspect of your life.
The Secret contains wisdom from modern-day teachers — men and women who have used it to achieve health, wealth, and happiness. By applying the knowledge of The Secret, they bring to light compelling stories of eradicating disease, acquiring massive wealth, overcoming obstacles, and achieving what many would regard as impossible.
I just received my copy today. Guess I’ll retire early from the computer tonight to start learning how use the secret more to my advantage. Want your own copy? Order from Amazon.com (for the best price, I checked).

That sounds like something I could use. I think I will check it out. I am a 33 year old mother of a 16 year old and I am ashamed to say,”I have nothing.”Not even my own home. I was taught growing up that “The Man” of the house was suppose to provide for his family.Ha Ha ,what a joke ! Don’t get me wrong, there are many men out there that do exactly that but I have, 2 times, ended up with the wrong man.1 time married and 1 time a live in partner. They always put everyone else above me and espically the blood relatives. Now I am to the point that I either take it or be homeless. I wouldn’t take it if I had any means at all to get myself another home but being disabled, there is not much I can do. What a life I have ! I wish I had done a lot of things different but I guess I am too old now. Kim, it sure sounds like you have a great Mom ! I am definately going to check out that book !

Sounds like a good one. I’ve written it down to take a look at it. I’m an avid reader and that sounds like something I would enjoy. Speaking of books, I am currently reading The Pursuit of Happyness (there’s a movie coming out soon with Will Smith about it). When I saw the previews of the movie I knew I had to read the book first. It looked like such an inspiring story. It’s a pretty easy read (I’m over half-way through) but I am disappointed in the book. There seems to be way too much about his sexual escapades and about him gettin’ some and twice so far about his boners for crying out loud! I feel that in a book that I thought would be a great inspirational story it is being overshadowed by smut. No, I am not a prude. I just don’t really see the relevance there. Anyone else read the book? I doubt the movie will show/talk about those parts of his book.

The Secret is an instance where the DVD is better than the book. This is about the law of attraction. A deeper examination is in Dr. Wayne Dyer’s ‘The Power of Intention’ live. But the end-all-be-all transformational experience is the live courses at Millennium3Education in Dallas, TX. As Dr. Dyer has said, you have to actually do and experience to truly learn and grow when it comes to the human condition, not just sit and think about it or observe. The main pitfall is that self-directed or self-taught ideas about the self does not work on any kind of impactful level. Talking about something or reading about something or listening to something will never ever in a entire lifetime convey it compared to actually experiencing it. The idea there is that you can’t get wet from the word water. Truly experiential learning(not just a live discussion), which is not self-taught, is when transformation occurs; true transformation, literally from a larvae to a butterfly. 8 days there total is like strapping a booster rocket on your back, for good, beyond anything you can hear, see, or read in the latest of the latest book/tape/lecture.
