Life Is Not A Secret
What The Secret' didn't underline
The Secret', the way to live the life we want through manifestation and positive thought (in a nutshell) touched on the REAL secret without really embedding it into our consciousness.
And when you're stuck in the biggest rut you never could have imagined and every debt collector, relation, friend and acquaintance you ever knew looks as though they're out to get you, finding that space in which to be positive and thankful is very hard to do.
However it is our life. If we don't do it, no one is going to come and do it for us, We have to find that room to be thankful, to be calm and live in the moment, manifesting on a daily basis what it is we truly want out of life.
The Secret' which has been shown on television around the world and is now available on DVD is a powerful insight into how people gain happiness in their lives, whether it's through wealth creation or building warm loving relationships. As a product', a resource for how to live life, it is invaluable if we follow it to the letter. But how many people gain this knowledge then still continue to do it their way even though it hasn't worked for their entire lifetime?
It is the truth, though in danger of being clich that if you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got' so, if there is something about life you're not happy about, it is up to you and only you to transform that.
The only common denominator in everything that ever happens to us is - we were there. It was us. We are responsible for everything that happens in our lives and we must take that responsibility and embrace it.
Not blame. Never confuse blame with responsibility, they are different things entirely.
In the middle of The Secret' I saw The Truth' which I've been spouting on about now for as long as I can remember.
To underline this I must tell you about a guy I met yesterday, in his late forties who is a very successful, high achieving businessman who works in the farming industry.
I met him selling his produce at the local markets. He is funny, alert, highly intelligent and has one of the finest singing voices you could dream of having. And he LOVES singing. Customers will come up and he'll sing to them as they walk over, and he has such a great voice it stops people in their tracks.
He'll read poetry to them and sing and lift their spirits and you wonder why is this man doing what he's doing?
We had a conversation, and he admitted that he detested what he did for a living, couldn't stand the daily grind and found himself stressed to the max, so much so his health was beginning to suffer for it. His beautiful family live apart from him for most of the week because he has to conduct his business away from home such a lot.
His work is slowly killing him.
His passion on the other hand, his singing, keeps him alive and gives him purpose but he has a 100 good reasons why dropping everything and pursuing a singing career is a bad idea. Of course he has, because with singing, the passion in his life, he sees there's something at stake and isn't willing to lay it on the line.
But you know, I think he will. I think he will be one of the 5 - 10% of the population who will choose to do what they LOVE to do over what they feel obliged they must do. Why? Because from where I'm standing it would be a travesty if the world didn't get a chance to see and hear this man perform. It doesn't matter whether he sings from pub to pub, campfire to campfire around Australia, or whether he fills stadiums around the world. That's irrelevant.
The point is, if he follows his passion his entire life and focus will change, and Providence will step in and manifest his singing career in ways he never dreamed possible. That's how it works.
Although his problems are real and the choice is a difficult one, at least he would do it without being financially encumbered. For people who leave what they don't like doing but get paid for, and choose to follow their passion instead that in that moment brings in no money, is a real risk when there's no financial or social safety net. But that's only because they don't see past what they already know.
The truth is, we haven't a clue how things will manifest for us once we take the first step and get relentless in what we are passionate about. How can we know, we're shape shifting the Universe and that's much too big a task to begin working out rationally.
Follow your passion. If you don't have one, go out and find it. This wont appear by magic, and many of us have to try many things and get partially excited by them before being shown what it is we're really here to do. But if we don't look, we don't ask, we wont find.
And if you're one of those who doesn‘t know what they want to do and cant get passionate about anything remember this. It really is about the journey. Seriously, it is. You CANNOT go wrong. Knowing just that should be a big relief, because for most of our lives we're fearful of getting it wrong, making a mistake, looking bad, but what would it be like for you if none of this is real, and is just a figment of your overstressed mind telling you stories that just aren't true.
FIND YOUR PASSION, and simply do it. Don't try and work it out, strategise and blind yourself with doubts. If it makes your heart and mind sing, if you cannot wait to get up in the morning to begin a new day doing what it is you love, when your heart beats quicker whenever you even think about that passion of yours, then that is your path, that is your journey, this is what you're here to do.
And if you don't think this is true, then continue on with whatever it is you do but stop complaining about it, because that is the one thing that will perpetuate and increase the anguish until one day you cant take it anymore.
Do you really want to begin and continue living that passion, the life that when you were little you KNEW you would one day live?
It isn't a secret. That's the big secret. Begin today, begin right now, and look for the one thing in life that makes you zither whenever you think about it. Create your luck by finding your path and following it deep into the woods, deep into life, deep into the hidden place you always knew existed but were too afraid to find.
There is something at stake. It's your life. But the great news is, you are in charge, no one else.
That's The Truth, that's The Secret.
