I asked a friend to review/edit something for me and she mentioned believing in the Secret. You know, willing what you want to happen but saying it and getting it out into the universe.
I believe in it too.
Example: After three long years of telling TBone that I'm sick of living in squalor and filth, I changed my tune. This year, my New Years Resolution was to, "work on the clutter in the house. Get rid of things I don't need and/or don't use."
After we cleaned up last weekend and had a garage sale two weeks ago, I looked around and (aside from the endless baby toys...) we have a lot less stuff. I don't feel suffocated by it. I'm not as emotionally attached to my crap.
Here's the trick of the Secret as I've found it. Making a statement with integrity. I can say I'm going to win the lottery all I want but if I don't play...it's not going to be happen. I can say that I'm going to be a size 0 jeans but if I sit around and suck all the icing from a spray can (this is my idea of a good time, btw) then I'm kidding myself.
But. If I say, "I am intrinsically wealthy and financially stable. I know how to use my free time well. I buy clothes that make me feel and look fabulous. I have work that is worthwhile and provides a sense of accomplishment" I think I'll find better results.
These are measurable and might just take a little feng shui-ing of the old life.
So put that in your pipe and smoke it.
