The Secret

by Rhonda Byrne

As you travel through its pages and you learn The Secret, you will come to know how you can have, be, or do anything you want. You will come to know who you really are. You will come to know the true magnificence that awaits you.

Everything that’s coming into your life you are attracting into your life.

“Every thought of yours is a real thing—a force.” Prentice Mulford (1834–1891)

The simplest way for me to look at the law of attraction is if I think of myself as a magnet, and I know that a magnet will attract to it.

Your life right now is a reflection of your past thoughts.

Thoughts are magnetic, and thoughts have a frequency. As you think, those thoughts are sent out into the Universe, and they magnetically attract all like things that are on the same frequency. Everything sent out returns to the source. And that source is You.

The law of attraction is really obedient. When you think of the things that you want, and you focus on them with all of your intention, then the law of attraction will give you exactly what you want, every time.

It manifests the things that you’re thinking of, and so it’s going to show up over and over and over again. The law of attraction is not biased to wants or don’t wants. When you focus on something, no matter what it happens to be, you really are calling that into existence.

Creation is always happening. Every time an individual has a thought, or a prolonged chronic way of thinking, they’re in the creation process. Something is going to manifest out of those thoughts.

What you are thinking now is creating your future life. You create your life with your thoughts. Because you are always thinking, you are always creating. What you think about the most or focus on the most, is what will appear as your life. Like all the laws of nature, there is utter perfection in this law. You create your life. Whatever you sow, you reap! Your thoughts are seeds, and the harvest you reap will depend on the seeds you plant.

you don’t understand the law that doesn’t mean you should reject it. You may not understand electricity, and yet you enjoy the benefits of it. I don’t know how it works. But I do know this: You can cook a man’s dinner with electricity, and you can also cook the man!

an affirmative thought is hundreds of times more powerful than a negative thought.

Decide right now that you are going to think only good thoughts. At the same time, proclaim to the Universe that all your good thoughts are powerful, and that any negative thoughts are weak.

Meditation quiets your mind, helps you control your thoughts, and revitalizes your body.

Just three to ten minutes a day to begin with, can be incredibly powerful for gaining control over your thoughts.

To become aware of your thoughts, you can also set the intention, “I am the master of my thoughts.” Say it often, meditate on it, and as you hold to that intention, ...

Decide what you want to be, do, and have, think the thoughts of it, emit the frequency, and your vision will become your life.

So when you are feeling bad it is communication from the Universe, and in effect it is saying, “Warning! Change thinking now. Negative frequency recording. Change frequency. Counting down to manifestation. Warning!” The next time you are feeling bad or feeling any negative emotion, listen to the signal you are receiving from the Universe. In that moment you are blocking your own good from coming to you because you are on a negative frequency. Change your thoughts and think about something good, and when the good feelings start to come you will know it was because You shifted yourself on to a new frequency, and the Universe has confirmed it with better feelings.

You can purposefully use your feelings to transmit an even more powerful frequency, by adding feeling to what you are wanting.

You can begin right now to feel healthy. You can begin to feel prosperous. You can begin to feel the love that’s surrounding you, even if it’s not there. And what will happen is the universe will correspond to the nature of your song. The universe will correspond to the nature of that inner feeling and manifest, because that’s the way you feel.

You don’t need to know how it’s going to come about. You don’t need to know how the Universe will rearrange itself. How it will happen, how the Universe will bring it to you, is not your concern or job. Allow the Universe to do it for you.

Recognize that feeling and replace it with a feeling of unwavering faith. “I know that it’s on its way.”

To lose weight, don’t focus on “losing weight.” Instead, focus on your perfect weight. Feel the feelings of your perfect weight, and you will summon it to you.

“All that we are is a result of what we have thought.” Buddha (563 BCE–483 BCE)

“Money comes easily and frequently.”

Do you treat yourself the way you want other people to treat you?

When you do not treat yourself the way you want others to treat you, you can never change the way things are. Your actions are your powerful thoughts, so if you do not treat yourself with love and respect, you are emitting a signal that is saying you are not important enough, worthy enough, or deserving.

But for relationships to really work, we need to focus on what we appreciate about the other person, not what we’re complaining about. When we’re complaining about those things we’re only getting more of those things.

We all come with a built-in basic program. It’s called “self-healing.” You get a wound, it grows back together. You get a bacterial infection, the immune system comes and takes care of those bacteria, and heals it up. The immune system is made to heal itself.

When I discovered The Secret I made a decision that I would not watch the news or read newspapers anymore, because it did not make me feel good.

Sooo real!

On a deep level, you know that. Can you imagine not being? Despite everything you have seen and experienced in your life, can you imagine not being? You cannot imagine it, because it is impossible. You are eternal energy.

Be happy now. Feel good now. That’s the only thing you have to do.
