The Power (The Secret, #2)

by Rhonda Byrne

When you wake up each day, you should be filled with excitement because you know the day is going to be full of great things. You are meant to be laughing and full of joy. You are meant to feel strong and safe. You are meant to feel good about yourself and know you’re invaluable. Of course there will be challenges in your life, and you are meant to have them too, because they help you to grow, but you are meant to know how to overcome problems and challenges. You are meant to be victorious! You are meant to be happy! You are meant to have an amazing life!

You see other people who are happy and fulfilled and whose lives are full of great things, and something tells you that

deserve all that too. And you’re right; you do deserve a life overflowing with good things. Most people who have a great life don’t realize exactly what it was that they did to get

it. But they did do something. They used the power that is the cause of every...

Without exception, every person who has a great life used love to achieve it. The power to have all the positive and good things in life is love! Love has been talked about and written about since the beginning of time, in every religion, and by every great thinker, philosopher, prophet, and leader. But many of us have not truly understood their wise words. Even though their teachings were specifically for people in their time, their one truth and message to the worl...

Love Is the Force That Moves You

The Law of Love

The universe is governed by natural laws.

To harness the positive force of love and change your life, you must understand its law, the most powerful law in the universe – the law of attraction.

What you give – you receive. Give help and support to a friend when he’s moving house, and most surely that help and support will return to you with lightning speed. Give anger to a family member who let you down, and that anger will also return to you, clothed in the circumstances of your life.

Talk About What You Love

You have to talk about the good news of the day. Talk about the appointment that went well. Talk about how you love being on time. Talk about how good it is to be full of health. Talk about the profits you want your business to achieve. Talk about the situations and interactions you had in your day that went well. You have to talk about what you love, to bring what you love to you.

People who have great lives talk more about what they love. By doing so, they gain unlimited access to all the good in life, and they are as free as the birds that soar in the sky. To have a great life, break the bars of the cage that is jailing you; give love, talk only about what you love, and love will set you free!

Nothing is impossible for the force of love. No matter who you are, no matter what situation you may be facing, the force of love can set you free.

When you feel good, you don’t have to be concerned about anything else because your thoughts, words, and actions will be good. Simply by feeling good you are guaranteed to be giving love, and all of that love must come back to you!

Every good feeling unites you with the force of love, because love is the source of all good feelings. Feelings of enthusiasm, excitement, and passion come from love, and when you feel any of them consistently, they give you a life filled with enthusiastic, exciting, and passionate things.

You can harness the power of a good feeling to the fullest by turning up its volume. To turn up the volume of a feeling, take charge of it and deliberately intensify it so you feel as good as you can. To amplify enthusiasm, revel in the feeling of enthusiasm; milk the feeling for all that you can by feeling it intensely! When you feel passion or excitement, revel in those feelings and intensify them by feeling them as deeply as you can. The more you amplify your good feelings, the greater the love you give, and the results you will receive back in your life will be nothing short of spectacular. When you’re feeling any good feeling, you can also amplify it by looking for things you love. Before sitting down to write this book, each day I spent several minutes amplifying my good feelings. To amplify my good feelings, I thought about all the things I love. I counted the things I love nonstop one after the other: my family, friends, home, flowers in the garden, the weather, colors, situations, events, and things I loved that happened during the week, month, or year. I kept listing everything I love in my mind until I felt amazing. Then I sat down to write. It’s as easy as that to amplify your good feelings, and you can do it anywhere, at any time.

All the things you want are motivated by the good feelings they will give you! And how do you receive the good things you want in your life? Good feelings! Dollars want you. Health wants you. Happiness wants you. All the things you love want you! They are bursting to come into your life, but you have to give good feelings to bring them to you. You don’t have to battle and struggle to change the

circumstances of your life; all you have to do is give love through good feelings, and what you want will appear!

When you change the way you feel about a situation, you are giving a different feeling, you’re on a different feeling frequency, and the situation must change to mirror your new frequency. If something negative has happened in your life, you can change it. It is never too late, because you can always change the way you feel. To receive what you would love, to change anything into what you would love, no matter what the subject, all it takes is changing the way you feel! “If you want to find the secrets of the Universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration.” Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) INVENTOR OF THE RADIO AND ALTERNATING CURRENT

Every single second is an opportunity to change your life, because in any moment you can change the way you feel. It doesn’t matter what you have felt before. It doesn’t matter what mistakes you think you may have made. When you change the way you feel, you are on a different frequency, and the law of attraction responds instantaneously! When you change the way you feel, the past has gone! When you change the way you feel, your life changes.

No Excuses for the Force of Love If your life is not filled with everything you love, it doesn’t mean you’re not a good and loving person. The life purpose for each of us is to overcome negativity by choosing love. The problem is that most people love and then stop loving hundreds of times in a day. They don’t give love long enough for the force of love to move all the good things into their life. Think about it: one moment you give love through a warm hug with a loved one, and then you stop giving love within minutes when you get annoyed because you can’t find your keys or you’re delayed in traffic or you can’t find a parking space. You give love when you laugh with a work colleague, and then stop when you get disappointed because the local lunch place has run out of something you want. You give love as you look forward to the weekend, and then you stop when you receive your bills. And so it continues all

through the day; you give love and you stop giving love, give love and stop giving love, give love and stop giving love, from one moment to the next. You are either giving love and harnessing the force of love, or you’re not. You can’t harness the force of love with an excuse about why you didn’t love. Excuses and justifying why you didn’t love just add more negativity to your life. When you give an excuse as to why you didn’t love, you’re feeling the same negativity again, and so you’re giving out more of it!

Every Little Thing Is Included Blame, criticism, finding fault, and complaining are all forms of negativity. All of them bring so much strife. With every little complaint and every moment you criticize anything, you are giving negativity. Complaints about the weather, traffic, the government, your partner, children, parents, long lines, the economy, food, your body, your work, customers, businesses, prices, noise, or service seem like small harmless things, but they bring back with them a whole host of negativity. Throw out of your vocabulary words like terrible, horrible, disgusting, and awful, because when you say those words, they come with strong feelings. When you say them they must return to you, which means you are putting those labels on your life! Don’t you think it would be a good idea to use more words like fantastic, amazing, fabulous, brilliant, and wonderful?

The Tipping Point If you give more than 50 percent positive thoughts and feelings instead of negative, you have reached a tipping point. Even if you just give 51 percent good

thoughts and good feelings, you have tipped the scales of your life! And here’s the reason why. When you give love, it not only comes back to you as positive circumstances that you love, but as it comes back, it adds even more love and positivity to your life! The new positivity then attracts more positive things, adding even more love and positivity to your life, and so it continues. Everything is magnetic, and when something good comes to you, it magnetically attracts more good things. You may have experienced this when you said you were having a “lucky streak” or you were “on a roll,” when one good thing after another happened, and the good things just kept happening. The only reason those times occurred was because you had given out more love than negativity, and as the love returned to you, it added more love to your life, which then attracted even more good things. You may have also experienced the reverse happening when something went wrong, and then other things started going wrong one after the other. Those times happened because you gave more negativity than love, and as the negativity returned to you, it added more negativity to your life, which then attracted even more negative things. You may have called those times “a run of bad luck,” but they have nothing to do with luck at all. The law of attraction was working precisely in your life, and those times, good or bad, were simply a reflection of the percentage of love or negativity you were giving. The only re...

To change your life, all you have to do is tip the scales by giving 51 percent love through your good thoughts and good feelings. Once you reach the tipping point of giving more love than negativity, the love that comes back to you then multiplies itself by attracting more love through the law of attraction. Suddenly you experience an acceleration and multiplication of good things! Instead of more negative things coming back to you and multiplying, you now have more good things coming back to you and being multiplied in every area of your life. And this is the way your life is supposed to be. When you wake up each morning, you are standing at the tipping point of your day. One way tips you into a wonderful

As you begin your day and you’re feeling happy, while you keep feeling happy, your day will be great!

One day of good feelings not only changes your day, it changes your tomorrow, and your life! Provided you maintain your good feelings and you go to sleep feeling good, you begin the next day with a momentum of good feelings. As you continue to feel good as much as you can, your good feelings continue to multiply by the law of attraction, and so it continues day after day, and your life gets better and better.

When you tip the balance to good feelings, the force of love will change your life so fast that you will scarcely believe

The Creation Process Imagine it. Feel it. Receive it.

Whatever you desire you must want it with all your heart.

When you begin working with the Creation Process, you might want to start by attracting something unusual. When you specifically attract something unusual, you will be left in no doubt about your power when you receive it.

One young woman began by choosing to attract a specific flower, a white calla lily. She imagined holding the flower in her hand, smelling the flower, and she felt having that calla lily. Two weeks later she went to a friend’s house for dinner, and there in the centerpiece of the table was a bouquet of white calla lilies, the very flower and color she had imagined. She was excited to see the lilies, but she didn’t say anything to her friend about her imagined flower. As she was walking out the door at the end of the evening, her friend’s daughter spontaneously plucked one white calla lily from the vase and put it in her hand!

When you imagine anything positive that you want and love, you are harnessing the force of love. When you imagine something positive, something good, and you feel love for it, that is what you are giving – and that is what you will receive. If you can imagine it and feel it, then you can receive it. But what you’re imagining must come from love!

But I want to tell you something fantastic about the force of love and your imagination. The highest and best thing you think is possible is nothing compared to

what the force of love can give to you. Love has no limits! If you want to be full of vitality and happiness, with an incredible zest for life, the force of love can give you health and happiness at levels far beyond what you have seen. I am telling you this so that you can start to break the boundaries of your imagination and stop putting limits on your life. Push your imagination to the limits, and imagine the best and highest that you possibly can of whatever it is that you want.

History has proven that those who dare to imagine the impossible are the ones who break all human limitations. In every field of human endeavor, whether science, medicine, sports, the arts, or technology, the names of the people who imagined the impossible are engraved in our history. By breaking the limits of their imagination, they changed the world.

Feel and imagine the best and the highest you can in every area of your life, because the best you can imagine is a “piece of cake” for the force of love!

No matter what challenging situation you may find yourself in, imagine the best outcome and feel it! When you do, you will change the circumstances, and you will change the situation into what you want!

Imagine your life the way you want it to be. Imagine everything you want. Take your imagination with you every day, and imagine what it would be like if your relationships were all wonderful. Imagine how you would feel if your job suddenly took off. Imagine how your life would be if you had the money you need to do what you love. Imagine how you would feel if you were overflowing with health. Imagine how you would feel if you could do what you wanted to do. Use all of your senses to imagine what you want. If you want to travel to Italy, imagine the smell of olive oil, taste the pasta, hear Italian words being spoken to you, touch the stone of the Colosseum, and feel being in Italy! In conversations and in your thoughts say, “Imagine if . . .” and then fill in the rest of the sentence with what you want! If you’re talking to a friend and they’re complaining because their work colleague got a promotion and they didn’t, help them by saying, “Imagine if the reason you didn’t get that promotion is that you are being promoted to an even bigger role, with way more money!” Because the truth is that the possibility of your friend being promoted to an even bigger role with way more money already exists, and if they can imagine and feel it, they can receive it!

Use your imagination and create games so that you feel really good. Whatever you can imagine is waiting for you, fully created in the invisible, and the way to make it visible is to harness the force of love by imagining and feeling what you love.

When using the Creation Process, use all the props you can to generate the feeling that you have what you want already. Surround yourself with items of clothing, pictures, photographs, and relevant objects, so you can imagine and feel the feelings of having what you want.

Every single time you give love, through your feelings, words, or actions, you add more love to the field around you. The more love you give, the greater and more powerful is your magnetic field. Whatever is in your magnetic field is attracting to itself, and so the more love in your field, the more power you have to attract the things you love. You can get to a point where the magnetic power in your field is so positive and strong that you can have a flash of imagining and feeling something good, and within no time, it has appeared in your life! That is the incredible power you have. And that is the phenomenal power of the force of love!

Instead of feeling disappointment, I chose to feel love, and so I filled my magnetic field with the love of flowers.

When you can give love, no matter what the circumstances, the circumstances must change! Now you can appreciate why it is so important to choose love, because every time you give love, you increase and multiply the love in the magnetic field around you. The more love you give in your day-to-day life, the greater the magnetic power of love you have in the field around you, and everything you want will fall at your feet. This is the magic of what your life will be when you are giving love. My life did not used to be as magical as it is now. My life used to be full of struggle and difficulties, but I discovered something fantastic about life, and what I discovered is everything I am sharing with you in this book. Nothing is too big for the force of love. There is no distance too great, no obstacle it cannot overcome; time cannot stand in its way. You can change anything in your life by harnessing the greatest power in the universe, and all you have to do is give love!

To help you have the true perspective of creation, no matter how big your desire may seem to you, think of it as the size of a dot!

It doesn’t matter what it is you want, think of it as the size of a dot, because for the force of love, what you want is smaller than a dot!

If you find your faith wavering, just put a dot in the center of a large circle and next to the dot write the name of your desire. As often as you like, look at your drawing of the dot in the circle, knowing your desire is the size of that dot for the force of love!
