it didn't seem apparent that there was any other way to take it?

whats her face that wrote the book talks about this
she addresses that it has been around for MILLENIA!!! she is just presenting it in a way that is accessible to "EVERYMAN" so to speak

i came across the girl who was just so cheerful ALL the time, (i had JUST starting practicing the secret), and seriously she was in such a good mood all the time, i was like "you're faking right, i mean, nobody can be so good-natured all the time"
and she was like "well, you're going to think this is really stupid, but i practice this thing called the Secret and..."
i was like
and got a lot more serious about it

i can make my phone ring when i want someone to call

what are the principles specified in the secret? i mean, how do you practice it specifically? are there steps? like do you do visualizations or only allow positive thoughts? do you meditate? create vision boards? there are so many ways to manifest your intentions, im curious how each person goes about it.

you have to WANT something enough - think about it all day long.
when you get up in the morning, every step you take should be full of JOY
you must be grateful for everything!
keep a journal.

what do you want to happen?

start your journal entry:
I am so happy and grateful now that...

fill in the blank. now that you won a million dollars? now that you have a husband? now that you have the house of your dreams? or something as simple as "i got a postcard in the mail from a long-lost friend"!!

i keep a journal, i picture a scene in my mind and write what i want to happen. it's just daydreaming. and NEVER doubt that what you want is coming. IT IS! the universe just KNOWS when the right time is

most important points:
1. be grateful for what you already have, and know that you will be grateful for what is to come
2. never place time constraints because the universe doesn't understand it. what you want is coming, but the universe knows when it is best for you to have it
3. never think about HOW it is coming to you. it doesn't matter. the universe doesn't understand obstacles and doesn't comprehend distance or "impossibilities"
4. don't think in the negative. never say what you DON'T want. it's not:
i hope i don't have to wait in line at the bank
it's
i will be immediately helped by a teller when i reach the bank

i am sure i will think of more to add

one experience i had:
i got a credit card bill in the mail and saw that i owed $900 on it. now, i am a full time student with a part time job in the midwest so to us, $900 is a LOT. that probably isn't much to you (no offense, we're just in different worlds kind of)
and i fretted over it for a while and was VERY worried - how would i EVER pay that off?! my credit would be ruined.
then i changed my thinking:
I am so happy and grateful now that I am out of debt, and have all the money I need.

Two days later I found a savings bond in my name, took it to the bank, and found out it was worth almost $7000.

And that's just one of the experiences I've had!!!

shouldnt the universe recognise the inherent problem in the current financial system of fiat money and essentially global economic slavery?
