Discovering The Secret
Posted: March 17, 2007
People around the world have been talking about a movie so powerful
that it can change the course of your life. This movie, The
Secret, was created by Australian Rhonda Byrne, and she
says that if you follow its philosophy, you can create the life
you want—whether that means getting out of debt, finding a more
fulfilling job or even falling in love.
Rhonda says she stumbled on what she calls The Secret at the
end of 2004. At the time, everything in Rhonda's life had fallen
apart—physically, emotionally and financially—and she was in
"total despair." Then her father died suddenly, and she was
worried about her grief-stricken mother. "I wept and wept and
wept, and I didn't want my daughter to see me sobbing," Rhonda
says.
That's when Rhonda's daughter gave her a copy of The Science
of Getting Rich, a book written in 1910 by Wallace D. Wattles.
"Something inside of me had me turn the pages one by one, and
I can still remember my tears hitting the pages as I was reading
it," Rhonda says. "It gave me a glimpse of The Secret. It was
like a flame inside of my heart. And with every day since, it's
just become a raging fire of wanting to share all of this with
the world."
After that first discovery, Rhonda read hundreds of books,
listened to hundreds of hours of audio tapes and scoured the
Internet for more information. She says she traced the idea
of The Secret through history—all the way from 3500 B.C.
to the present day. "Since I discovered The Secret, every
single moment of my entire life has changed, and I am living
my life for the first time," Rhonda says.
Rhonda defines The Secret as the law of attraction, which is
the principle that "like attracts like." Rhonda calls
it "the most powerful law in the universe," and says
it is working all the time. "What we do is we attract into
our lives the things we want, and that is based on what we're
thinking and feeling," Rhonda says. The principle explains
that we create our own circumstances by the choices we make
in life. And the choices we make are fueled by our thoughts—which
means our thoughts are the most powerful things we have here
on earth.
