I know one thing: That there is not a single formula for success and achievement. It is contextual and varies from one person to another even in application.
That being said, there are some common denominators are critical in the success equation. These are universally accepted and applicable, that if we do away with them, we wont make it.
That is why when I introduce to you something else that I call a secret, you have to be careful in application of the same. If at all it ignores any of these common denominators, you are in for trouble.
That's why "The Law of Attraction" has to be put on the spot today. Listen to this.
We will always be looking for what works. We want what can help us with efficiency and effectiveness. In fact, you will excuse us for wanting to achieve things faster.
The reason why many people delved into "The Secret" and "The Law of Attraction" was that it promised some of these things. It never focused on hard work, blood, sweat and tears. In fact, it taught that nature is about harmony and manifestation. That is until people started realizing that something was off.
There are critical aspects in the equation of success and achievement that must be in place as you are using The Law of Attraction. In today's episode, we discuss one of those. Listen to this.
When "The Secret" came out in 2006, there was a world-wide craze about it. People wanted to know it and wanted to use it. That's a given, because human beings will always want to find the better way of doing things.
I keep repeating that we cannot throw away the baby with the bath water. There are powerful teachings in there about money, about thoughts and about visualization. We learn that what we focus on becomes our reality.
However, we miss a lot when we think that The secret and The Law of Attraction are all you need in order to succeed. Here is why that's a lie.
Why doesn't the Law of Attraction work? Is it working for you? I know for a fact that for a season now, the craze about "The Secret" and the Law of Attraction has tapered off. Why would that be the case?
There are very great merits around The Law of Attraction as it was taught. However, I have realized in life that if someone tells you that life has only one answer, you have to think twice. Unless of course we are talking religion.
However, when we are talking about success, growth, development, achieving our desires and so on, there is no one answer, there is no one secret.
I explore further why I think there is little craze with the Law of Attraction anymore. Listen to this.
Let me ask you a question. Are you using the "Law of Attraction" in your life? Sometime back in the year 2006/7 thereabouts, "The Secret" documentary was unleashed to the world.
It promised us that "thoughts become things", which is a fact. It promised us that what we visualise, we attract. It is also a fact. The question is: How come the same intensity of the craze we had about it has faded?
How come we are looking for "other secrets" in life? If indeed this was the secret, shouldn't everything we do in life revolve around it? Well unfortunately not. This is one reason why.
