The Secret
Author: Rhonda Byrne

Book Type: Hardcover


**spoiler alert** my mom got this book as a christmas gift. she said she read the first 20 pages and hated it (she was expecting a novel, not a self help book). so im going to start it tomorrow...

so i finished it in two days. it was a cheesy start and well- overall cheesy. extremely redundant, but i get it was to get the point across. which is very simple. the secret is attraction. you attract what you bring to yourself. basically- treat others as you wish to be treated, karma, etc. if you want something put it out there. you want to be healthy, ask for it. you want money, ask for it. you want to weigh a certain number, ask for it, just ask.

it does have some good things to do. it said to write a list of what you wanted and thats your way of putting it out to the universe. so i tried it.

first day i asked to get a position working my trip in economy. i got it.

second day i asked to be able to deadhead home, first class, drink champagne, eat great food, make it to my moms by three so i could get my nails done. i got it all.

the next day i asked to work first class- which is an easy position- and i got it.

yesterday i asked to get to san fran on time, catch a flight to orange county, get on, make it back to long beach by 3 and see a movie and have dinner with my girlfriend and our friend. i did it all (which is amazing because of the storms and the airline i work for)

so each day i make my list, picture doing it, ask for it, pretend its happened, and it does.

my life list of wants..well...soon, right?!
