What's Wrong with "The Secret"


By now, millions of people have seen the hit film "The Secret." A lot of people found it inspiring, and I was one of them, but others have a very valid criticism. The film mainly focuses on material abundance, without addressing the issue of inner peace and fulfillment, which is what everybody is really looking for.

As a life coach, I hear all sorts of ideas from people about what they think will make them happy, but sometimes they don't have a clue. They imagine that it is the outward circumstances of their lives - the partner, the job, the financial security, the education, or any number of other things.

In actual fact, according to Law of Attraction, we have to find the happiness first, and THEN all the outer stuff naturally flows to us. The "stuff" is a natural consequence of living joyfully in the moment. So why not start right now?

Can you find something to appreciate? Can you feel the wonder of life flowing through your body? Are you aware of simply being - right here - right now? If so, you have found the real Secret. Everything else is just frosting on the cake!
