The Secret, a widely popular self-help book from 2006 is
based on the law of attraction and claims that positive thinking can create
life-changing results such as increased wealth, health, and happiness.
I agree with the premise of visualization and focusing on
goals to make them happen. However, there are some things about The Secret that
I don't agree with; specifically the belief that you attract and cause all the
bad things that happen to you.
Most of the people that I have known have always said they
were never expecting or thinking about the negative things that happened to
them.
Unfortunately, the mindset The Secret promotes may make
people stop helping others or having compassion for others because they think
that the other person's mindset must have caused whatever bad has happened them.
Instead, I think people should apply The Secret's principles
with a worldview and appropriate action.
