Beyond The Secret: the power of positive thinking

Most of us have read The Secret by Rhonda Byrne and understood “the law of attraction”.

But Have we really comprehended it? Have we made it part of our souls and our day to day life? I think not. I think most of us have tried positive thinking once or twice after reading this kind of books and then, simply, we let it go and bury it underneath our daily occupations and we feel overwhelmed again.

If we really understood that there are only three simple steps to accomplish what we want, we could make positive thinking part of our lives. Which steps: ASK. BELIEVE. BE GRATEFUL.

ASK. Ask for what? Whatever you want. The sky is the limit. The world is your own, personal, shopping catalog. But still, I´m not into the idea of asking things which can hurt you or others. Don´t ask for a bus to run over your boss. Ask for things that benefit you and the Universe. That doesn´t mean you can´t ask for a super cool sports car. As explained in The Secret, the Universe has unlimited resources for all of us. Don´t hesitate to expect high.

Sometimes, what´s stopping us is our own fear of success. Picture yourself winning a million dollars. Pretty cool? Yes, but a little bit overwhelming too. What did I do to deserve a million dollars? How will I spend them?

Imagine. Create. You have the power to create your own reality. That´s not just a New Age idea. It´s plain and simple quantum physics. Check the further post on What the bleep do we know!? for more information.

The second step is the hardest. BELIEVE. That implies patience and that´s not easy for all of us. It could happen that your “order” will be delivered immediately but, most of the times, it will take a little longer. But don´t ever hesitate. It will be delivered to you. I´ve found this technique useful many times: Picture it literally as if you were buying on the Internet. Click to order. Now, there´s no steps back. You just have to wait for the package to arrive. Don´t think about it too much. Keep going with your life. But pay attention to the signals. Signals are winks the Universe make to our intuition. If you listen and act accordingly your Internet order will be marked as “express”.

Ok. Now you´ve received the package. Let´s enjoy! And let´s BE GRATEFUL. Who can you thank? Call it God, the Universe, Life, Energy. Or don´t put a name at all. Just be grateful from the bottom of your heart. This allows the energy to keep flowing and you start to build “positive connections” on your brain.

Finally let´s look at what I call “the iceberg effect”. In the top of your mental iceberg you have positive thinking but underneath the water is messy and full of negative thoughts, so big they are convictions. Take a dip into that water and modify those thoughts. Life coaching is very useful, especially in this part.

Make it part of your daily life. ASK. BELIEVE. BE GRATEFUL. And now enjoy the life of your dreams!
