"The secret is the answer to all that has been, all that is, and all that will ever be."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
This is the last line of the book "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne.
And I think it was well picked for explaining everything that was in this 198 page book.
The funny thing is that "The Secret" is not so much of a secret after all. In fact, it seems to be very apparent through all things in life. And yet it seems to be overlooked, like many apparently normal things in life.
So what is this big "Secret"?
That you create the life you live.
Yep, I can hear you all moaning. Well, of course we all create the life we live. We're the ones living them.
But what if I told you that the life you're living now is the creation of the thoughts you had in the past?
Well, that's a little different. But it's true. Thoughts create intentions, which then create actions, which then create the events in our lives that create today. And the thoughts we have today will then turn into our intentions and actions for the future.
So that's it really. But it's such a huge revelation at the same time. From small seeds do large trees grow. And it's really refreshed my perspective on how my thoughts influence my future life. And how I can learn from my thoughts in the past to realize why I'm living the life I am now. And in doing so change what I want to change, and express gratitude for everything that I love about my life.
So, big revelations aside, what did I think of the book?
I thought it was excellent! To the point where I'm going to force my husband to read it because I think the message is something he needs to hear now. In fact it's something I think many people need to hear right now. There's lots of chaotic things happening in this world, and how amazing it would be if everyone realized that their thoughts influenced their futures, in turn the future of the world.
Now, here is where I could list the several points that I learned, and what the author meant about this point or that point. But I feel that the big revelation is the best thing that I could learn from this. And that's enough for me.
I highly recommend "The Secret" to anyone.
In fact I hope that many people do read it, and learn the power of their own thoughts.
