RE: Turn Your Day Around and Accelerate Your Life with One Simple Gesture
I think you might have seen the movie:
- The Secret.
You might have also read Rhonda Byrne's other book:
- The Magic
I have read both and agree that vision and gratitude work wonders. Especially when compared with a total lack of vision, and taking things for granted.
I meditate everyday too!
The Secret is an incredible film and definitely has influenced my mind set and outlook on life.
Now you've both got me intrigued with 'The Secret'. I've heard about it before, but never really watched it. I might add that to my list in the next few weeks.
It is based on a book titled: The Science of Getting Rich, a book written in 1910. The Science of Getting Rich and The Secret basically teaches the idea that our thoughts become things which in my experience is more or less true.
There are other things to learn in life such as practicing good judgement, listening to others and practicing a win-win mentality but The Secret in itself can be used to do a lot of good and reach your goals! @cryptocopy
Thanks! I think I saw this while browsing on Netflix once. I just skipped it cause the preview image looked a little like a biblical documentary. I'll cue it up next time.
I wouldn't consider it Biblical at all but some of the concepts were written in the New Testiment of the Bible.
The Science of Getting Rich was written by a Christian author during the New Thought Movement but he tried to make his book a practical guide for getting faith-based / thought-based results.
Practical meaning not religious and applicable in the real world. You can read his book online for free and even reprint it. His book is in the public domain now. It can give you a sneak preview of The Secret.
Some of my favorite authors are Christians that write practical life lessons. They practice their faith but don't advertise it in the books they write. It makes me happy when people do that since their written work is universal and even applies to atheists, muslims, buddhists, agnostics, etc. But it also shows that in some cases, the Bible can inspire authors to write modern practical guides to life.
@kenmelendez is also a Christian but most of his posts are entirely practical!
