The Secret about the Secret

There is a “new” message spreading across the planet like wildfire. It has been publicized recently in a video called “The Secret”. Teachers of this secret have recently appeared with Oprah and Larry King, giving it international exposure.

The secret brought success to historic icons like Plato, Einstein and Newton. In our time Bob Proctor, Joe Vitale, Lisa Nichols, Michael Beckwith and others attribute their impressive successes to the secret.

Have you had your share of struggles and transitions in your life? If you’re reading this you probably have tried to change and improve, only to stop with frustration and self-flagellation as you failed to reach your objective. So you may understand why the recent revelation of the secret has led to a surge in the field of life coaching.

What is this secret, and how can you apply it to your life?

Learn the Laws of the Universe

The secret has always existed. The wisest people on the planet have been able to learn and use it.

Bob Proctor explains the secret. It is the Law of Attraction based on vibrations, “You choose the vibration you live in by the ideas you are emotionally involved with.” In a simple example, you have experienced this often in your life when someone else’s energy either made you smile with warmth or shrink away from their negativity. This reflects a law of physics that states “like attracts like.”

Understand The Sabotage of Your Subconscious Mind

Don’t be fooled into thinking that the secret is as simple as the power of positive thinking. On the contrary, positive thinking alone will leave you frustrated and confused when your hopes don’t come to fruition. There is good reason that most of your efforts at change aren’t successful. It is because what you do on the conscious level doesn’t bypass what is in your subconscious mind. And your subconscious mind has been programmed with limiting beliefs impressed on you repeatedly from the moment you were born.

For example, if you grew up being told that “Money doesn’t grow on trees”, and “Rich people are greedy” then all your conscious efforts to make and keep money will be sabotaged by your core beliefs. The same is true for weight loss, relationships, and any other significant changes you may try to make.

Build Your Vision of an Abundant Universe

The secret explains how most people get what they don’t want. By focusing or worrying about what they don’t want in their lives, “I don’t want to be fat/ poor/ unhappy,” they attract it. Unless your picture of the life you desire is positive and is imprinted with absolute clarity and captivating detail you cannot begin to work towards it. Once you have created this vision, however, the universe will move you towards it with amazing efficiency.

Using a Life Coach for Guidance and Clarity

One secret about The Secret is that you need to support yourself by surrounding yourself with others who share and uphold your vision. Teaming with a life coach is one way to be accountable, set clear goals, clarify and enhance your vision, and work through any obstacles in your way.

Another secret about The Secret is that working with the Law of Attraction is only the beginning and not a magic silver bullet. There are more laws to study and absorb.

“The Secret” is being touted as heralding a “new era in humanity.” Indeed, just think how fortunate we are to live in a time when access to the greatest minds on the planet is literally a mouse click away. Best of all, “the Secret” has given millions of people hope.

Join in. Start to picture the future that you desire to welcome into your life. The Laws of Attraction and Vibration are just waiting to help you create the life you have always wanted. But make sure that you have a qualified life coach to provide the proper support to create your major mindset change.
