Happy New Year, Grokers! Hope you brought in the New Year with a bang!!
After all the family time, revelry and hang over remedies, I took the time to write down a few goals for the year - like "take a 2 week vacation with the family" and "buy $20,000 in Gold". For the last five years, I've written a few top priority goals for the year, put them in my sock drawer and look at them every morning. Guess what? It works so do it!
OK, I'm one of those superstitious types that must eat black-eyed peas and cabbage (for luck and wealth dontchaknow?) on the 1st day of the year. This year we were out of cabbage so I had to make a grocery store run at half time. Many thanks to the good folks at Walmart for coming through!
As the pièce de résistance I convinced Anna to watch The Secret, a movie that reveals the most powerful law in the universe. Can't hurt to learn the secret of life, right?? Hmmm...
To save you a few bucks and a couple of hours, let me share "The Secret"with you now (drum roll here)...The law of attractionsays that your mind is in total control of your life - your freedom, your success and your future. To make your dreams reality follow these steps:
Step 1: Ask...Identify what you want and the Universe will respond to your will.
Step 2: Believe...that whatever you want is already yours - the universe will rearrange itself around your vision.
Step 3: Receive...with your entire being what it would feel like to get and have what you want.
According to the author, Rhonda Byrne, the most renowned leaders, scholars and business greats have understood The Secret. Winston Churchill said "You create your own universe as you go along." and Henry Ford proclaimed, "Whether you think you can or you can't either way you are right." On the other hand, Byrne has made a ton of money on this thing so it might be wise to take note from a favorite subject of the work, Albert Einstein, who said, "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."
No matter what you think about Byrne and the movie, you must agree that the power of positive thinkingis incredible. I hope you'll take a moment to share your positive thoughts about the New Year as well as some of the goals you've set that you are stoked about.
Let us kick off the year truly believing that we will experience the best of love, joy, friendship, success and prosperity. Make 2009 be your year to shine!
Do you Grok it?
