The Secret

AIBU to give “the secret” any thought?

I toyed with it years ago. Asked “the universe” for a £10 note. Walking through York the night after, found a wet soggy £10 note on the floor in a graveyard.

Played with it again a few weeks later. Asked the universe for a red balloon. Immediately afterwards I put YouTube on to listen to some music and the first recommended video was a song called something like “10 red balloons”. I’d never heard of the song before.

When I was a child, before I knew of “the secret” we were moving house and I desperately wanted a garden with steps in it. That would have been highly unusual in this area but I kept on thinking about it obsessively. The house we moved to had steps in the garden (the only house in the whole street that did).

My friend goes on about the secret all the time, I put all my “successes” down to coincidence as the alternative sounds batshit but some people truly believe it works, intelligent people!!

I watched the movie yesterday and I’ve decided I want £50k in my bank by New Year’s Eve 😂 ironically DH said to me this morning “we have nearly x amount in bank! The most we’ve ever had!” (Nowhere near £50k) ... maybe it’s already working lol

This is of course lighthearted but I’d be interested to hear other people’s experiences of it?! Please don’t turn it into a “you’re a fucking imbecile OP” type thread, it’s just for fun.

@StormBaby

That’s what I’m thinking. So of course £50k isn’t just going to appear in my bank, same as I’m not suddenly going to wake up a size 8 dress size ... but since I decided I’m going to have £50k in bank I’ve found myself motivated to make money. More motivated than ever and also motivated to save money rather than waste it

People have been using this for centuries. Witchcraft and Voodoo are based on it. Thought-forming. Positive thinking.
Do I think I’m going to magically wake up to money in the bank? No! Can I influence my life in small ways by thinking X WILL happen? Absolutely.

I believe too. It's more than just saying something to yourself in most cases but making choices that help you to get there. I've still not won the Euromillions jackpot but I've done pretty well in the lottery of life 😊

@readingismycardio

How have you used it and what have you got out of it?

I really want to get into this! My sister read the book and she says it really changed her life! I might try it!

Also in a lighthearted way - it works. And to me it makes sense, what you think is exactly what you attract.

It's hard to apply, though and you really need to train your mind to think positively, which can't hurt!
