I Know the Secret to Happiness

Today has been one of the most amazing days of my life because I’ve gained a new perspective on the entire way I am living my life and it has started right now.

I hope that in some way what I’m going to share will also help you. If you think it is hokey or don’t believe it at all, that’s fine. We’re free to receive information and do whatever we choose with it.

12/02/06 - Ellen’s feature on The Secret

It all started on 12/02/06. Rodney and I watched a segment on The Ellen Degeneres Show about a documentary called “The Secret” that is quickly becoming an underground hit. It focuses on the Law of Attraction, which has always been around and there are many books and studies about it.

The concept is simple: You attract everything in your life, good or bad, like a magnet. You can achieve everything you dream of simply by letting it manifest in your head.

We’ve all heard it, but how often do we actually use this power? I don’t know one person who isn’t unhappy about something. Job, money, love, health, etc. We all say “Someday it will be different.” But WHEN? How many years will pass before we allow someday to become TODAY?

So Ellen was talking about how profoundly life changing this documentary was, and she had two of the experts from The Secret on her show (Bob Proctor and John Assar). I was so excited about this DVD, and its corresponding book.

12/14/06 - The Secret was right in front of me

But is it all a hoax? There are so many “self help” things out there, and I was slightly skeptical. But I did know for certain that I had to build a better version of myself. I knew that I had bigger dreams in life, which I never had the balls to go after. All that changed.

Almost 2 weeks went by and I had been thinking about the system that The Secret aims for. Over and over in my head, I let these positive thoughts manifest. Immediately, my life started getting better. More things seemed to go my way. Little things occurred that brought me happiness or a little extra money in my pocket. It felt like my positive energy was attracting good things in my life.

Manifest. Manifest. Manifest. Then on the 14th, I happened to walk over to a person’s desk at work. There was The Secret DVD on her desk!

12/16/06 - It all changed for us

I asked to borrow it and Rodney and I watched it today. The documentary is so amazing and yet the concepts are so simple. We can truly achieve anything we want in life. We have so much negativity ingrained into our minds. We limit and restrict ourselves because things seem unattainable.

Those days are over. Rodney and I had a very heartfelt discussion about what we really want to do in our lives. I just felt amazing inside because we had really opened up and verbalized the dreams we never believed we could make happen.

THEY ARE GOING TO HAPPEN. I only have one life, and I’m going to build it myself. Good things are going to come to me in abundance.

So what is the secret to happiness?

Happiness is a choice. We have the power to attract anything that makes us happy simply by changing the way we look at things. It might sound simple, but if it’s so simple, why do millions of people feel dissatisfied with things in their life? And why don’t we do more to make ourselves happy?

Where can you watch or read The Secret?

The book is available from Amazon.com and it’s also carried in major book chains like Barnes & Noble. If you buy it online, please buy it from this link. That provides credit to my affiliate account, and I think that’s fair if I send Amazon business, don’t you?

The DVD is available from The Secret’s website. It’s $29.95 but you can also rent it online for $4.95.

At minimum, you should shell out the $4.95 to watch it online. I cannot emphasize enough how it has changed my life.

Here’s a clip from the Ellen episode that first got me hooked:

I’m so glad this has made all the difference in how you view the world and yourself. My mantra has always been “Life’s too short to be miserable” and it’s worked for me… and I’m glad you’ve found yours… just in time for Christmas!

I couldn’t agree with you more. You have to make what you want out of life and balls to those who say you can’t. Well done and just keep going forward. All the best for the Holidays!

I’ve seen a clip on YouTube about exactly this theory. I’m not sure what to think of it yet. Might see if I can get hold of a copy of the book.

Hey Nathan, Very very cool to see guys getting ahold of this concept. I have not seen the DVD or the Ellen show. But am a firm believer, nonetheless. I am SO behind anybody who is willing to produce great things in their lives in spite of outside negative, pessimistic ideas, thoughts, and people. So, “hear hear” for you guys! I believe in you too!

It sounds very logical. It seems similar to how when people get really sick that positive energy and thoughts can shorten their healing time. I think I will look into this a little further. I am sure that you and Rodney will be able to make it work for you.
