Introduction
Human thoughts aren't nothing. They emit a frequency, you can get hooked up to machinery and see your own thoughts in action on a screen.
I'm sure you will know what positive thoughts are, and what negative thoughts are.
When you have a positive thought, it is when you are thinking about something that appeals to you, it makes you feel happy. The more positive thoughts you think, the happier you feel.
When you are having a negative thought, you are thinking about something that does not appeal to you, and it makes you feel 'bad' emotions, for example stress, anxiety, fear, anger, irritation, confusion, and sadness. The more negative thoughts you think, the worse you feel. It's the law of Attraction.
My point is, feeling is a very important part of the secret. If you want to be happy and live a life with many happy memories, be happy now, for this moment! And happiness will only follow.
Many people think, and say, but I have nothing to be happy about. PAUSE! (I understand people that feel like this, because we all usually have felt like this at some stage. I was feeling like this before I watched 'The Secret'If you are thinking this, now is a great time to watch the movie, The Secret!)
Even if you think this, and even if it is so, you can still feel happy.
The answer is gratitude.
Gratitude and Joy
Gratitude is:
Being thankful for something and meaning it.
An example of gratitude is when people say Grace before they eat a meal, they are being thankful for that meal.
All you need to do is decide to be grateful. Look around you. Maybe you will see a desk, a window, a flower, a leaf, a book a light... etc etc etc.
You could be thankful for the beauty of the item, the perfection in the way it was made or formed, or how useful it is to you.
When you acknowledge your gratefulness to something, suddenly, it seems that it is giving you joy.
You can be grateful on a wider scale.
You can be grateful for your friends and family, good times you have spent together, times you have laughed together, you can be thankful for your home, for your pets, for your job, the possibilities are endless!
One thing is certain though, gratitude brings joy and fulfilment. Happiness.
This is a lovely little quote for happiness that I have always liked:
Recipe for happiness:
Something to do
Someone to love
Something to look forward to.
Loving Oneself (Loving Yourself)
It seems like society is making it harder to love yourself! With advertising, images, and movies showing the ideal and 'perfect' man, woman, girl, boy, and baby. In fact there are stereotypical expectations of ALL ages All over the media!!! Think about it! Magazines have countless images of stunning women for example. Ofcourse, it can be understood that the media wants to get our attention. But that's not important. What is IMPORTANT is that you LOVE yourself. Many people might think, what is there to love about me. As I said above about Gratitude, if you look, you will find something to be thankful for! :) Don't be disheartened;All you need to do is look. Don't love only a part of yourself, love ALL of yourself, everything that makes you, you. Because to me, the uniqueness in each person is beautiful and utter perfection. If you find this difficult, think about compliments you have received. Now think about them as FACTS. Because that's what they are! Think about moments when you felt good about yourself and why you felt good about yourself, and what you felt good about. Did you achieve something? That's a reason to love yourself! Have you ever made someone laugh or smile? That's a reason to love yourself! Have some adorable freckles on your face? Another reason to love yourself! As with gratitude, there are UNLIMITED things to love about yourself!!!!
Loving yourself greatly contributes to Joy.
Don't be afraid of people's opinions if you love yourself. Some people just want to keep everyone else as miserable and at the same level as they are. Don't accept that. You can rise above these people, and when you rise, you will bring them up higher too!
It is sad, but there is a society around teenagers and young people these days where it is 'cool' to not love yourself. Hence the image of teenage girls constantly repeating 'I'm so fat!' When they aren't even! There are songs and music targeted towards people of this age group about death, suicide, hating and being dissatisfied with oneself. I agree however though, that when young people ARE feeling down, this music makes them feel better as they relate to it. But it is still an unacceptable way to live, feeling this way about yourself. Its awful, and no young person deserves to feel this 'down' way about themself and their life. It is not their fault. They aren't being Silly or Stupid. It is just the expectations society and the media have built up around them, pulling them into it.
What they NEED is to learn The Secret, everything I'm writing about right now!
In fact, I believe, Schools should have programs about The Secret. What programs are in place in schools now that teach about self-esteem, and all those things? This is such an important subject for EVERYONE in the world to learn about, yet I haven't heard of any free programs about it at schools?
Commanding Everything you want in the universe
Have you ever thought about something you would just loooove to have? Something that would make you happy? I'm sure you have!
Maybe it was a niice new car, a lovely house, a pair of shoes you saw at the shops, or an attractive person you'd love to have as a partner!
I encourage you to keep thinking about things you'd love to have! The law of attraction does work! Yes, Some people would say it is greed, But I now say, it contributes to happiness, and success. It adds so much more on an emotional scale, which in turn, strengthens you as a person. Think about something you are wanting right now.
Just for a bit of fun, tell yourself, I have this right now!
Even thought it isn't being logical, come onnn just say it!
Now, how good does that feel?
If you actually do this, you've just discovered The Secret WORKING in your own life!
Feels good doesn't it.
Maybe you want something that isn't a possession? Do you want a particular problem to go away? Fighting with someone and want it to stop?
Do you want to be popular? Do you want to even change your community or even the WORLD in a particular way for the better?
Do it again!
Tell yourself, you have it right now. Or it is GOING to happen.
You don't need to think about how. I'll tell you why in a moment.
Only think about the end result and how great it will feel!
In fact you can try this on ANYTHING you want!
Want a pay rise? Your dream job?
You can have it, just think about it!
Yes that's all you need to do.
Think about it.
"My Goodness, what silly rubbish!" a lot of people say, "Ridiculous, greedy theory."
But obviously, I think differently! You don't have to agree with me, that's totally up to you, I'm just writing a website about The Secret!
So you may be thinking, how would this possibly work? I don't have a scientific answer for you. Just like there isn't a real scientific answer for where electricity comes from. We just know that it works. It improves our lives, just like the Secret can improve yours. I do have answers, but I'm not an expert. I only know that it works. Because it works for me.
What works?
Thinking about what you want, what you want to achieve, how you want to feel and KNOWING you are going to have it, FEELING like you already have it.
And certainly, when you think about and feel about what you want strongly, with BELIEF and think about it regularly, you WILL have it.
That's it.
That's The Secret.
Watch this movie clip for further info!
I encourage you if you are a believer of the secret. Feels good doesn't it!
Live Abundantly
Don't live like there isn't enough,
Live like there is more than enough and you already have what you want!
Spoil yourself; don't be afraid to treat yourself.
Enjoy that chocolate, you deserve it.
Just appreciate the luxury around you! If there is no luxury around you or in your life, add a little bit, or as much as you want!
Luxury doesn't mean having a lot of money.
It could be as simple as asking someone to give you a massage.
Just lie back, and enjoy it, and feel on top of the world, that you are so special and deserve such relaxation!
Or next time you have a bath, really enjoy it, use those bath crystals or bubble bath and just lie there and enjoy.
Luxury could be as basic as lying down on the grass outside, and looking up at the beauty of the sky, and just feeling such enjoyment and relaxation in the moment!
Luxury is enjoying what you HAVE. :)
Meditation
You might of heard of meditation but aren't quite sure what it is. You might get an image in your mind of someone in gym clothes, sitting on a mat, with their legs crossed and their hands clasped together in front of them, like in prayer, and with their eyes closed!
You don't have to meditate like this; in fact you can meditate where you are right now, when you wake up in the morning and are still in bed, or while you are eating lunch.
Meditating is taking your mind away from reality. Daydreaming, letting your thoughts flow.
Why meditate? It brings The Secret into ACTION in your life. You need to meditate for the Secret to Work.
Meditating involves thinking AND feeling.
So....
When meditating... THINK thoughts of gratitude, joy, loving yourself, commanding everything you want in the universe and living abundantly. FEEL the feelings these positive thoughts bring. FEEL the excitement, hope, joy and emotional fullness.
Meditating is enjoyable! So if you aren't feeling happy, or better than you were feeling, you might not be meditating properly.
You might not realise it, but just learning about The Secret improves your life. And if you have read all of this, through, you have learnt about it! :)
I wish you happiness, and success in your life, don't be afraid to dream big.
Love, be thankful, be kind, be good. The Secret will bring so much GOOD to your life and those around you! Enjoy it!
