The Secret and the Law of Attraction

The Secret on the Oprah Show

The law of attraction is the law by which we're creating our lives. The Law of Attraction states that like attracts like: debt attracts debt, negativity attracts negativity, failure attracts failure. At the other end of the spectrum, wealth attracts wealth, positivity attracts positivity, and success attracts success.

Creating a Vision Board

We attract into our lives the things we want based on what we're thinking and feeling. We create our own reality and circumstances by the choices we make. The Secret or the law of attraction reveals that your thoughts determine your actions and choices – which are all firing simultaneously in the same direction. If you line them up to focus on what you want, you will get it. Making good decisions based on where you're going instead of where you are right now is very important. It revealed that creating a vision board is a practical, effective way of getting you want.

According to The Secret, what we give our attention to affects how we feel, and our feelings send a wave into the universe. The Secret reveals that anything that's vibrating in a similar way is brought to us. What you focus on expands. "Misery loves company," you know? Energy flows where your attention goes.

Different Wavelengths

The Secret states that when a relationship isn't working out, it's because you're not on the same wavelength. When you don't reach your goal, you may need to check your thoughts, plans, and actions – they may be on three different wavelengths! The Secret is all about energy and wavelengths.

Energy Flows Where Attention Goes

Your thoughts and actions control the flow of energy. A thought is a unit of mental energy that can be measured and that affects every aspect of your life. According to the Secret, if you generate feelings of love and gratitude the universe matches it – and what then flows into your life is what you've been striving for. Gratitude is huge: nothing new can come into your life unless you open yourself up to being grateful – it's the magnetic force of the universe.

There Are No Coincidences

There are no coincidences. Everything acts by laws and principals. Everything that happens to you, both good and bad, is something you're attracting. Attracting positive people - and emanating positive energy - is easier than you think!

Your Unconscious Orders to the Universe

Fears, doubts, and worries are often unconscious. Spiritual growth means becoming more aware of who you are. You're consciously and unconsciously sending out orders into the universe, and you'll get what you order. For example, if you say, "I'll never get out of debt and I hate my life," then you've set yourself up for a lifetime of debt. Instead, according to The Secret, focus your energy towards financial freedom and truly loving your life. Of course, you need to figure out what you want first.

How Your Language Rules Your Life

The Secret revealed that saying things like, "I'm surviving," "I'm hanging in there," or "I've been better," creates those negative circumstances. Similarly, saying, "I'm fantastic," or "Having a wonderful day," creates those positive realities. The Secret Law of Attraction states that you'll attract what you say and believe.

True Forgiveness

True forgiveness is releasing the hope that things could have been different. True forgiveness is realizing the gift in the horrible thing that happens to you. How did that event serve you, what can you learn? Every experience you've had makes you who you are and has made you be more yourself. Accept that, and true forgiveness is easier - and so is letting go of the past.

Achieving Your Dreams

To hold on to something new, you have to let go of something old. Let go of the past, old jobs, and old relationships to make room to move forward. You can't grasp something new if you're still holding on to the past. Ask, Believe. Your job isn't to make things happen, it's to ask once and then get out of the way. Believe and feel good!

Do something every day towards achieving your dreams – because action is the key, according to the Law of Attraction and The Secret.
