I have recently seen the dvd about the law of attraction called "The Secret". Have you seen it and what do you think?

Dear Mrs. Smith:
One of the best DVD documentary shows
that I have ever seen. I have a copy
of it on my computer.
Respectfully,
The Wanderer -

Is it going to change my life? Does it have some information that a 54 year old man doesnt already know?
I havent seen it? You have piqued my curiosity.
Is the secret that you become what you think about?

It's positive thinking repackaged into a splashy dvd production.
And it's no secret. However, adding "secret" to the title of anything you're trying to sell helps sell it.

I've heard of it but haven't seen it. Mrs. Smith, I'd be interested to know your thoughts on it.
Also, and I'm sorry to go off topic, but Mrs. Smith, did you ever get your dog back?

It struck me as greedy people appealing to other greedy people. No real secrets involved.

Jag,
We can't tell you it's a secret, unless you promise not to tell anyone, and never mention it even in your sleep, or if tortured by the CIA at Guantanamo military prison. First you must swear on a stack of bibles.

The Secret (a friend gave my girlfriend a copy a few months ago) is all the positive thinking gurus gathered into one volume - so they can share the profits. The Secret is about as old as the first person who gave a little thought to the human condition and came up with a couple of principles that stacked things in your favor for a happier life.
Some of the ideas are worthwhile and well worth reviewing from time to time, some create unreasonable expectations. Living a good life takes some work, and good thinking and reasoning. It's sort of summed up with Lincoln's "Most people are just about as happy as they make their minds up to be."

My thoughts on "The Sercert": I think that watching it and trying to think more positively will not harm anyone. I don't think that it is going to change your life over night. I do tend to have very negative thoughts and I feel better when I force those negative thoughts out of my mind. One thing they say on the dvd that I do believe is "Whether you think you can or you think you can't, either way you are right". That rings true to me. Am I going to make loads of money by thinking in this way? Maybe not, but I think I would be more open to opportunities that may come my way.

Yes we found my dog. It was a new scam, people steal the dog and then claim reward money. Thank goodness that the neighbour who saw the dog been led away was with when we went to pick him up and told us it was the same person. We did not give her the reward we reported her to the police instead. Thanks for asking.
