Using The Secret to Succeed

What is the secret? I mean every body is talking about it, its a great 'buzz' word.
Do we really know what it is? Is it really any big 'secret?' Admittedly it has been marketed very well, and a lot of people have made a lot of money from it. I know I have a copy. So please do not mistake this as an attack, if not for The Secret then I may not be writing this BLOG now.
Lets look at what the secret is. This mystical thing that has been passed down through the ages, that only wealthy people seemed to know about until recently.
For those of you who have watched
the secret this may be a little bit of old hack, bear with me for the sake of those who have not.
In essence the secret, and let me put this as simply as possible, is understanding the laws of the universe. In the secret there is one particular law that is focused on ore than any other, this is of course the law of attraction.
What is the law of attraction? Well lets have a look at it and see.
Like energy attracts like energy, I have spoken of this before.
e.g. Have you ever noticed when you are having a bad day, most people have that bad day with you? The law of attraction works like this, you always get what you ask for, or what you focus on, It just may not come in the package you expect. I have a friend who is still in the RNZAF, in fact I enlisted with him Ted is a fantastic Mountain Biker, in fact had he not joined the Air Force for the security he could have quite easily made a living riding professionally, whether is was on the road or on the track. We were out Mountain Biking one Wednesday sport afternoon (the military really is a great life!) riding in Wood hill Forest just north of Auckland city. I do not recall the name of the track however there, on one of the corners is a dirty big mattress.
"what the heck is a mattress doing on the corner?"
Which is essence is exactly what Ted thought. You see Ted was focused on the mattress, so what was it that Ted got? He got the mattress. We now know what the mattress is for. For those who have not quite kept up, Ted came off his bike and hit the mattress, if the mattress had not been there Ted would have hit a tree.
The point I make is this, Ted's focus determined where his final destination was. Had he not worried or wondered about the mattress, by all accounts he would have gone straight passed it with no consequence.

Really the secret is common sense, the theory of relativity is a good example of this, 'for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction'.
Sure there are somethings with the secret that can not be explained that simply, however unless your mind is ready to receive that information it would not make sense and you would not believe it anyway.

OK so how do we use the secret?
A good start would be getting yourself a copy of it, you can buy yourself a copy of either the DVD or the Hard back book here on this blog, just follow the prompts.
Understand the secret, realise that what it is telling you will not come without taking Massive Action, it will not mysteriously fall out of the sky and into your lap, well at least not unless your a three (By the way I am an 8). Follow the steps.
Why is it that some people do, while others do not? It is the same reason why 95% of the worlds wealth is controlled by 5% of the worlds population. That is 'the secret' . I am sorry if this seems now a little cryptic.
The 5% that are the haves, verses the 95% which is the have not's is really due to the fact that the 5% are willing to do what ever it takes. By this I do not mean breaking the law, not by any stretch of the imagination. What I mean is that the 5% are willing to go the extra distance when the masses (the 95%) are not.
Success does not come from doing certain things, it comes from doing things a certain way.

It is true that anyone can have success. It is a sad fact that most of us will not as we have been conditioned by the media and such that we will not. The biggest lie we were told by our parents was 'get a job, work hard' It was not because they were trying to make us fail, no, it was because it was the same lie they were told, and so it goes.
The point I make is this, if you have a true burning passion to change your situation you will, there is nothing more to it than that. Be sure that once you start on your path there will be a lot of people who do not necessarily understand what you are doing, that will tell you you're crazy. It falls outside their comfort zone, their context. Stay the course, this is what separates the haves and the have not's.

I think differently to most people, and to be fair I am pleased about that. Having a different mindset allows me to see things a lot differently to most. When the majority would look at our challenge here as risky, I look at it as a great learning experience. One that I will be able to adapt into any situation to produce stellar results.

Let me leave you with this;

'Regret for the things we have done can be tempered by time, it is regret for the things we have not that are inconsolable'
