What are your feelings on the documentary The Secret?
It's about 15 years old now
Did you watch it? Did it have an impact
I guess there's a pretty schmaltzy movie based on it (2020) that I haven't seen yet.
I remember Wayne Dyer saying he didn't want to be a part of it because the universe isn't
meant to be a smorgasbord or something like that. You attract what you are, not what you wish for
to paraphrase
Law of Attraction: What do you think?

The law of attraction seems to work in that what you project as reality does become your reality. The secret is pop culture law of attraction and it's mostly championed by people who think the law of attraction means saying you deserve a Ferrari so you can have one. Really it's about cultivating positivity and gratitude, this (along with other works) will generally improve your mental well being and your life in general, before you know it you might have improved so much that you moved up the corporate ladder and can buy yourself a Ferrari.

Thanks for your response Gadreel I think you're right about positivity and gratitude. Your comment reminded me of when I use to pray and meditate as a way of cultivating those states. Come to think of it I was in a happier frame of mind back then  Thanks! I think it's time to get back into the ritual again.

Yeah I have gone through a massive baptism of fire with regards my mental health in the last week, 32 pages of journalling and so many self affirmations I think I am God. I think we neglect how easy it is to program ourselves for failure, and so we dont concentrate on programming ourselves for success

True, about failure. That's a big subject in The Secret (negative self talk) I can drive myself crazy with complaining in my head, good to have some positive self affirmations on hand at all times! Good luck with yours.

I’ve heard of it but never seen it. From secondhand information I think it was a documentary about wishing for things and you get them if you believe or try hard enough.
