What is real life

Unless you've been living in a cave for the last few months, then you've probably heard of the phenomenon of The Secret. More than likely you've heard about the controversy surrounding it. What exactly is "The Secret" and more importantly does "The Secret" deliver on what it promises.
"The Secret," developed by Rhonda Byrne is a well packaged 21st century spin on the Universal Law of Attraction. A law very well known to students of metaphysics and success philosophy, the Law of Attraction has existed since the inception of time. The secret of the Law of Attraction states that the Universe is a thinking universe. It promotes the idea that you can have what you desire by thinking on it. Better yet you will have exactly what you think, because we as humans are always thinking; therefore we're always manifesting something-----good or bad. What the Universal Law of Attraction says is this: You have control over your own life and can therefore create your own reality.
Understand that the Law of Attraction exists. There is nothing one can do to go about changing the Law. What "The Secret" is teaching is that if you choose to positively align your thoughts and actions with the workings of this law, then you will receive the best results for your life.
The one concern I had with the film, was that it didn't go deep enough. It led one to believe that the Law of Attraction was the only law and thereby a person need not do anything else. One of the teachers proclaimed, if you've had an accident, then you attracted that accident... While I don't completely agree with the delivery of that statement; the teacher gave us no further examination or an explanation, other than if you think bad, then you'll have an accident. The media has chosen to take a few signatures from both the book and film and literally blow some of those statements out of proportion. Hence the trouble and controversy began to brew for the film. Each teacher has had to individually interview with various news programs in order to clean up or elaborate more on what was said in the film. Quite a few of the teachers associated with the film have revealed that there are more laws and that "The Secret" is a good starting point.
No matter what your individual beliefs are, there have been clear misgivings surrounding the Universal Law Of Attraction. I do not personally endorse "The Secret" nor do I not endorse it, but I too believe that it is a great tool and introduction to The Law of Attraction, which many metaphysicians and success philosophers have given empirical evidence that the Law does work and is real.
Abundance, security, and relationships are the essence of what people desire. Aligning oneself with the Law Of Attraction can bring the desires of success and abundance to fruition. Fortunately, there are online courses available to teach one how to tap into the power of the Universe and begin to attract enormous wealth and success.
