Lessons from 'The Secret'

You attract who and what you are

Many believe they can just ‘ask’ for something and the Law of Attraction will work for them, making things appear as they wish. But the truth is, you attract what you truly believe and embody. For example, if you want love, you have to become more loving first. canva

You need to feel the differences within

It is not enough to just speak some affirmations one day and expect results! You need to feel those emotions and stay true to yourself. If you wish to become more successful in life, you need to make yourself feel successful in small ways. canva

Your focus is your reality

Whatever you focus on, no matter how important or how useless, will become your reality. When you focus on the problems, more will show up, but when you focus on finding answers, you will experience growth. canva

Have real belief

You might have been able to outsmart your teachers and even your boss, but you cannot do that with the Universe. The Universe gives you what you truly believe is right for you, not something you fake for the sake. canva

Have gratitude

Having gratitude is not just being polite to people or saying thank you to some, it is about shifting your mindset from cribbing about the lack of what you have, to being thankful for all the things you have enough of and are right for you. canva

The importance of letting go

Once you’ve asked for what you want, the next step is to trust and let go. Many people obsess over the ‘how and when’ it will happen, and this creates a chaotic energy. canva

Surround yourself with good things

If you look around yourself and only sense bitterness, anxiety, and stress, it might be time for a change. Be around positive people, and good things will come to you. canva

Align your actions with your goals

You cannot just ask the Universe to give you something and then ‘sleep’ on it. You need to take actions and steps that will bring you closer to your goals. canva

Be consistent

To see results, you need to be consistent with your attempts and efforts. Think positively, work towards the goal, network, put in extra efforts, and do it every day. canva

The Law of Attraction is always working

The Law of Attraction isn’t a switch that only turns on when you ask something. It is always working, listening to you, your emotions, and your thoughts, and giving you what you ask for. canva
