I enjoy thinking about quotes and how they apply to recovery:
"A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes."
-Mohandas Gandhi
What does this mean to you?
We can only act upon our thoughts. If we believe we are worthless, we will behave in ways that prove that.
If we think that we are smart, kind, and productive, we will behave in ways that prove that as well.
Keeping my thoughs positive can be a challenge, but I notice a huge shift when I do.

I study ACIM[a course in miracles] and this is the foundation of their teaching.
All change is just a thought away.

I am a firm believer in the law of attraction.
The vibes and thoughts you send out to the world, you attract that type of thinking. It will always come back to you.
If you stay positive, positive things will happen to you.
Thanks for the quote. Nice to read first thing in the morning.
Please come back to the board and share more whenever you feel ready. I'd love to know more about your story.

Thanks for your thoughts. I enjoyed reading your interpretations :)
There was 2 Oprah shows on the "Secret"
or "The Laws of Attraction" in the last 10 days....
Fridays show discussed just how much the 1st show on it has changed their lives...or how the "Law of Attraction" suddenly made sense to them...
Its been around forever..Napoleon Hills Think and Grow Rich was based on the same principles...just didnt call Laws of Attraction or the "Secret" like Oprah and her recent guests did ..
Its all absolutely true but not so easy to apply to every day life day in day out..lol

Wayne Dyer has been writing about this for a long time.
His two books, The Power of Intention and Inspiration are about this same concept.
These people borrowed alot of their stuff from the Hicks; and from "Abraham." These producers, however, reniged on their deal, and the Hicks pulled out. They didn't want to pay anyone....supposedly.
The PBS Intention show and Inspiration are definately worth the money; and he is entertaining and brings home the same point.

Little Beach..
Yup...I was trying to remember the name of that book..you are so right...
thats why i find it a bit hypocritical of these authors to come forward and basically lay claim to this "discovery"
I suppose if it helps people thats great, but its a little unreal to see all these people come forward that suddenly "saw the light"..lol..
If you apply the strategies and tactics, and most people even subconsciously are aware it works...then yes lives can be changed, but its not as easy as watching this new secret video and bang, life is vonderbar...
it takes work..everyday..and Oprah touched on a small part but didnt get into it deep enough...what if you had a really horrible experience? not just a bad ex husband as she alluded to..but say you were raped, your face cut and disfigured..Your really going to "Thank the rapist" for giving you that experience? Thank the universe for the lesson? Did you as the victim bring it on because of the energy you were exuding to the world??
Sometimes terrible and bad things happen to totally innocent people and a lifetime of work couldnt bring to you to the place where you are grateful that it happened...
basically however, i've always believed in the premise..

I have this laminated piece that I was given by a dear friend.
ACTIVATE THE SECRET
Gratitude:
The universe cannot give you more until you are grateful for what you have. Give thanks to the universe and acknowledge gifts, abundance and blessings every day. Utilize the gifts and resources that the universe has given, making way to receive more.
Ask:
Ask and you shall receive - a great law of the universe, as long as it is combined with sincerity of heart, intention for the highest good of all, and the next four critical yet sometimes forgotten steps, you will receive. Decide what you want specifically, and ask for it!
Visualize:
See and Feel the end result of what you want. Thinking too much can be counterproductive. It is not necessary and it is inefficient for you to figure out every step to create what you want. See and especially feel it to be as real as possible. The universe and its infinite resources creates through frequency. Give the universe the right frequency (seeing vividly and feeling it as truth) and the Universe will create with the energy frequency that you provide.
Receive:
Align with the universal flow and open yourself to receive. The universe cannot give you what you don't believe you deserve. Align every part of your being with receiving what you want. Create the space to receive it emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually.
Let Go:
(an important step that many people miss). You have done your part. Now let it go into the universe. Release it and ask for your highest good.
Intuition:
Listen to the intuitive feelings and messages that you receive. Trust your intuition and act upon it even you cannot understand it.
Create:
Now you are creating. You are open to receive, aligned with the Universe, letting your intuition guide you. See and feel the energy of yourself creating.
Health: Affirm:)
I am vibrantly healthy in every way. Physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. I radiate health. Every cell of my body remembers it's perfection and releases any vibrations that are unlike the beautiful, vibrant infinite health that is the pure essence of me. Infinite, radiant health flows in all parts of my being. I am clear, strong, energized yet completely relaxed at the same time. I am so grateful for this infinite health.
Love: Affirm:)
Love fills my entire being. My heart is expanded with love and I radiate it. I see and feel the God-source in every being, expanding my love even more. I know that the more love I give, the more love I will receive. All of my words, thoughts and interactions are infused with this beautiful infinite love of the universe. It is my intention that everyone I meet feels this unconditional love radiating and emanating from me.
Joy: Affirm:)
I remember the truth of who I am. I am brimming with joy from the inside. I am so grateful for this opportunity to experience all the joys of life.
Success: Affirm:)

Ali, the 10 Secrets to Sucess and Inner Peace are well worth it. Those are on CD by Dr. Dyer. I really like those.
Even his tapes with Depak Chopra from 10 years ago are talking about this very same concept....."How to Get What you REally, REally, REally , REally want."

The first book i ever read from him was Wisdom of the Ages, which along with Napoleon Hills had the biggest impact of anything I've ever read..
if i told you what happened to me the first time i ever read Hill's book you wouldnt believe it...but it happened and i was only about 25 at the time.
I just ran upstairs and checked and the last book i read of Dyer's wasn't the one you mentioned...sounds sort of like it but it was just called Inspiration...Im going on Amazon right now to get the one you just mentioned...
maybe i'll try the audio tapes...believe it or not ive never bought an audio book that i can remember...hubby and i take turns reading at night and most times when he reads; i cant stay awake long enough to take a lot in...Hubbys got a great voice but I guess it just relaxes me too much..lol..
Its hard to explain to someone that hasnt read this kind of thing how totally different it is from positive affirmations..alike in one way but totally different..know what i mean>?
Anyway thanks for the reference..i needed a new good read..
Hugs

Please try those 10 Secrets CDs; they are awesome. I actually still need to get some in the mail for some friends..lol.
I saw him speak in Kauai and am going to see him in LA next month, with Depak Chopra.
He also has a new book coming out in August, Change your Thoughts, Change Your Life, Living the Wisdom of the Tao.
Manifest Your Destiny is good also. He was talking about this Secret stuff long ago.
