Sept. 6 The Secret movie: I’ve written about this a
few times. Rhonda Byrnes wrote this book
and it’s basically using focused positive thinking to help you succeed. On Jun.
12, 2013, I watched the first 20 min. of it on Youtube:
I have read the book in the bookstore between my split
shifts at work. I wanted to know what
the hype is.
On Jun.
18, 2013, I
watched the full- length movie on Youtube.
It was raining outside and there’s nothing else on TV because it’s the
summer time. I also did all my
productive things for the day like look for a job. I
needed a break so I watched this.
Here
is the Cole’s notes version. It’s about the “law of
attraction.” “You become what you think
about most. Thoughts become things.” Stop focusing on things you don’t want. Start focusing on things you do want.
- Ask
- Believe. Feel it. Think it.
- Receive.
Bob Doyle: Do whatever you can to generate the feelings like
test drive the car, check out that house.
Don’t doubt, don’t second guess, act.
32 min: This is the current reality, it will change. If you expect something, you will receive it.
Powerful processes: 1. Gratitude- “What we think about, we
bring about.”
Focus on what you already have.
37 min- gratitude rocks.
2. “Visualize- when you visualize, then you materialize.” You need to get that exciting feeling.
41 min: “live in the magic of life.”
43 min: Vision board.
Cut things out of things you want in life and put it on a big piece of
paper. Then put it up on your wall so
you see it everyday.
44 min: “Decide what you want, believe you could have it,
believe you deserve it, believe it’s possible for you.”
46 min: “Set a goal so big, it would blow your mind.” They talked to a man who wanted to make
$100,000 in a year, and he sold his book.
47 min: “When you have inspired thought. You have to trust it. And you have to act on it. Attracting events, ideas, and people.
49 min: Catalogue of life.
Imagine looking through a catalogue and picking out things you want in
life. Intend it.
50 min: When you focus on what you don’t have, lack,
scarcity, you will attract it. Focus on
abundance and prosperity.
51 min: Wealth is a mindset.
53 min: Marie Diamond is a feng shui consultant. “What you wish, will manifest in your life.” “He wished it, but his outer environment was
contradicting himself.”
56 min: “How do you expect anyone to enjoy your company if
you don’t enjoy your own.”
“Do you treat yourself the way others want to treat you?”
59 min: “We create our own happiness with the law of
attraction.”
1hr, 5min: “What you focus on, perpetuates.”
1hr, 8 min: “Man becomes what he thinks about.”
1 hr, 20 min: “The outcome is whatever you choose.”
Oprah Winfrey: Here is the episode she did on The
Secret. There were some positive things
in it:
My notes:
Financial freedom
“Place an order”- like say what you want out of life.
“What you focus on, expands.”
“He can not determine your destiny. You can.”
“Thank you for giving me that experience.”
“Energy flows where attention goes.”
“Everything is in the present.”
“Let go of your past, to let something else in.”
“Ask, believe, receive.”
My opinion: After reading the book, watching the
movie, and watching Oprah talking about the movie, I have something to
say. All the things you read above
sounds like something I would put in my inspirational quotes collection. Focused positive thinking is pretty easy to
remember. Basically I do have to be
mindful and focus on the present.
I can get angry and depressed, and have to learn to be
mindful. I remember reading a Pickles
cartoon that I clipped out. The Grandma
was saying (paraphrase): “We dwell on the past, and we worry about the
future. Let’s focus on the present.”
Sept. 9 Lessons: I was thinking about how I accidentally offended my friend again. She said she didn’t like it when I leave a message that pretty much says I wanted to talk for fun. I’ll tell you why I leave messages: There are people who hate it when people call and they don’t leave messages. Now you will wonder why they called. I also leave messages because I think my friends should hear my voice.

Some of you guys may be laughing. The thing is, I don’t see my friends. They mainly just read my weekly emails and
only my text. You should hear my
voice. Unless some of you guys are like:
“What’s the point in listening Tracy
talk for 10 seconds when it’s just her wanting to talk or hang out later?”
The lesson is, only leave a message when it’s
important. Like an emergency, here’s an
example: “My brother’s in the hospital.
He needs blood- fast! Do you have
type O blood? Because we could really
use one right now. What about your
family? Do they have type O blood? Please call if you do!”
I don’t know what my brother’s blood type is or mine. I found this on Wikipedia about compatible
blood types.

Sept. 10: I want to add with my brother’s friend calling our
house and he doesn’t leave a message. He
calls once, and I see him on the caller ID, and I don’t pick up because my
brother’s not here. After the machine
gets him, he calls again right back.
Then I still don’t pick up and he doesn’t leave a message. My sister says that I should pick up and tell
him that he’s not home so he will stop calling the house. But I don’t.
