Everyone anticipates blockbuster Saturday – especially when it is Ernie’s turn to pick the films. Ernie simply has the talent to choose not-so-ordinary-flicks and true to his description, he did not fail us when last Saturday he decided on The Secret as our movie for the night.
The Secret movie was so good that we had to watch it thrice in a row. But what is the film all about?
• The Secret movie is about an idea that has been circulating around the world for ages and this idea is the law of attraction. When the power of this law was discovered, people who were in authority tried to control it. But great and famous individuals got around such control through hiding this secret law of attraction in their masterpieces and in literature, which experts later unraveled.
• The Secret tells viewers, in detail, how to control the law of attraction in order to accumulate wealth, recover or prevent diseases and ultimately, become successful in life.
• The film also informs us of our power to create our reality by modifying our mindset. According to those who practice the law of attraction, when we have clear intentions coupled with consistent action geared toward these intentions, we are encouraged to achieve our SMART goals.
• All of us use the law of attraction on a daily basis but many times we do it without necessarily noticing that we are doing it. Our thinking and our beliefs attract certain things, either good or bad, to our lives. For example, when we truly believe that we will be given a particularly elusive research grant, our thoughts tend to influence our behavior and thus in the end we act in ways that are directed at our craving.
• If we want to get the life that we really yearn for, we can ask the universe for it and the universe will provide us with the answer, which is generally aligned with our yearnings.
• We should visualize whatever it is that we want and take to heart this vision for it to materialize in reality.
• All of these however would not happen unless we have gratitude. We should thank life and its co-conspirators for the things we have been given. A grateful soul with a grateful heart is always blessed with more.
Putting it simply, The Secret movie, which is now my favorite, tells us that the law of attraction can be summarized by Henry Ford’s words “whether you think you can or you can’t, either way you are right”.

Like any other human being, my life isn’t always sunshine and blue skies. I’ve had my share of problems, both emotional and not-so emotional. Every time I start feeling low though, I let my mind do the talking so that I can get out of the rut. But how does the mind power function? Well, it’s like this:
• The seat of our cognition is the brain. Since this is the case, the mind power controls our thoughts. When we think negatively all the time, the mind makes these negative concepts come true. These thoughts increase in strength and they begin to affect our attitudes, our perceptions and our behavior. When we think positively, the mind does the same. For good things to happen in our lives we have to constantly visualize mental images that are also good.
• The mind also governs our emotions. To avoid feeling down when life takes a hit on us, we must affirm to ourselves that troubles will come to pass. These assertions will help us feel more positive and more able to face life’s challenges. A Fun Video – Comments?
• The mind can make us sick and can also cure our pain, physical or emotional. Our emotions manifest themselves in physical ways. For example, when we are depressed, the body reacts in manners that would correspond to the depression. Hence we may lack appetite due to the sadness and eventually we might develop ulcer from not eating. Similarly, the mind can convince a sick person that he is getting better. Someone who is feverish may then be cured of the symptoms if truly believes that he isn’t sick.
• Finally, when we have things that we need to accomplish and find ourselves unable to do so, the mind power dictate to us our goal. We can do this through the help of concentration that is, focusing our thoughts, thinking of our goal and visualizing it. Afterwards, we should come up with a specific plan on how to go about achieving the said goal. The plan naturally has to be based on what’s tangible and real otherwise, all our visualization and planning will be in vain. Then we can start working on our plans. It will take effort on our part, but we need to commit to our memory that in the end, our effort will pay.
So are you feeling as if you are in a rut these days? Do you lack sleep due to vehement worries? Perhaps, you still cannot figure out how to attract that particularly hard to pin down goal. Or maybe you are in deep pain. If any of these are true to you, remember that the mind has the incredible power to change things. You can train yourself to not carry so much emotional baggage or have so many negative perceptions in your life. Think mental positive! BE mental positive! You’ll feel a lot better, you’ll see.

Affirmations or positive words are statements that Claire would make us repeat over and over again whenever we feel down or when doing a task. She says that positive words impress on the subconscious mind and trigger it into positive action.

Catherine graduated from one of the most prestigious universities. She is above-average in intelligence and her working hours seem to be 24/7. But Catherine has always been jealous of Erika, her average childhood friend who got a bachelor’s degree in a state university who is now a professional but still manages to go barhopping every Friday and take trips outside town once a month. As far as wealth is concerned, Erika is way above the financially struggling Catherine.
What does Erika have that Catherine doesn’t? The millionaire mind. I recently got this book by T. Harv Eker entitled The Secret of the Millionaire Mind. Let me share with you what secrets I have discovered about the so-called millionaire mind:
• The key to wealth is not the tools (skills, intelligence, luck, education, etc.), it’s the PERSON. That is, his mindset, his inner set of beliefs.
• It is about engraving that money blueprint in our subconscious mind to automatically direct us to make money and achieve our goals.
• The millionaire mind helps you set your eyes on making fortune whereas others are glued to fear. This financial blueprint is created through our everyday exposure to money messages from the environment we live in.
• It says, “I create my life”. The poor mind says, “Life happens to me”.
• It plays the money game to win. The poor mind plays the money game to not lose.
• The millionaire mind is committed to staying wealthy. The poor mind wants to be rich.
• It thinks big. The poor mind thinks tiny.
• It concentrates on opportunities. The poor mind is glued to hindrances.
• The millionaire mind takes rich and successful people as models. The poor mind resents the rich.
• It is positive. The poor mind drowns in pessimism.
• It swallows their problems. The poor mind is swallowed by their problems.
• The millionaire mind thinks “both”. The poor mind dwells on the “either/or”.
• It values its net worth. The poor mind prizes its working income.
• It manages their money well. The poor mind mismanages their money well.
• It lets their money work hard for them. The poor mind works hard for their money.
• The millionaire mind works despite fear. The poor mind allows fear to stagnate them.
• It never ceases to learn and grow. The poor mind says it already knows.
What is the secret of millionaires? Their millionaire mind! We have outlined the differences between the millionaire mind and the poor or ordinary mind. The question is: Do you have the poor mind? Or do you have the millionaire mind?
Or, better yet, do you want to have a millionaire mind? Decide now. And decide quickly.

It’s as if Brett was born under a lucky star – and considering the fortune that fills his life, it sure is one heck of a lucky star! He has a good family, a wonderful set of friends, a stable and well-paid job and killer looks. He has everything that anyone would die for just to have. Ladies admire him and gentlemen want to be like him. But Brett’s fortune isn’t because of astrology or anything of the sort. He says that his secret lies in knowing the rules of attraction. When he told me about it, I initially thought that it was a hoax – especially when he told me that such could impact an individual’s overall life. But when he explained to me the following principles underlying the rules of attraction, I was convinced that he wasn’t just pulling my leg.
• We create our own reality. We attract to ourselves what we want and what we do not want through our thoughts and feelings. If we focus on hating our jobs, we will fail to see the satisfying point of our employment ergo we won’t have a happy work life.
