One of the biggest legitimate criticisms of the hit book and movie “The Secret", is that it indicates people can think themselves into what ever situation they want. On the Official Webs Site, it states "The Secret explains with simplicity the law that is governing all lives, and offers the knowledge of how to create - intentionally and effortlessly - a joyful life. This is the secret to everything - the secret to unlimited happiness, love, health and prosperity." Read more at: www.thesecret.tv/. Creative Visualization is a great start. But it is also an excuse for staying stuck. "There are only two types of people: 1) Those who Master The Secret and Apply it (Winners of the game of life!) 2) The rest, including those who think the secret is about just visualizing and daydreaming" states Dr. Eric Amidi, Quantum Physicist

How many times have you said “I’ll be happy when ___________ happens”? So we wait and wait and wait until God blesses us with his miracles. That doesn’t work because as of yet, humanity has not developed the ability to manifest something out of nothing. All things that come to us, come though established, physical world phenomena. We can’t win the lottery unless we play. Sure, our thoughts will increase the odds a bit but most likely, the winning ticket cannot land in our hands unless we buy a ticket.
The same is true with creating our life-experiences. We can’t “think” ourselves into our dreams without action. Our thoughts impress upon the formless stuff of the Universe but only our actions receive good. A Christian friend of mine recently said “God likes people who work”. He’s right. We have to take right-action as guided by our higher self toward our life-passion with Faith and Purpose. But what he doesn’t quite get is that we can’t make it happen consistently, in a competitive mode. We need to allow it to happen creatively and gratefully open ourselves to receive.
The best things in my life happen as I joyfully go about my business of living. I’ve met people during the course of daily activity that have changed my life. Most of the time, I’ve resisted these people only to find out years later their significance. Nothing good would have happened if I lived life in my bedroom, dreaming about being a zillionaire. I go out and am available to receive the blessings of life.
Thinking in “A Certain Way” primes the mind to take right-action. Acting “A Certain Way” is the necessary next step toward riches. Working in the now, not lamenting about the past or dreaming about the future, makes us available to receive.
