Writer inspired by book 'The Secret'

In our lives, we have the capability to form our own opinions, make our own decisions and even change our own identities. We can be whomever we want to be. Self-motivation can get us anywhere in the world. We can literally do whatever we want.

I'm enthused by the book titled "The Secret." It's an inspirational, philosophical book stating that the Law of Attraction can get you whatever you want. The book says that thinking positively and feeling as if you already have what you want is the way you obtain your wants and desires. If you are attracted to something, it will come to you. You are like a magnet to what you are looking for.

The Law of Attraction says that by thinking with such a strong, positive attitude you have the ability to transform yourself into whomever you wish. So, why not trade places with your true self?

Throughout the book many stories are told and they explain how someone can easily become who they want to be just by knowing and believing they can do it. The true key is believing in becoming successful and understanding that it may take time, but you have to be patient.

Think positive. I know this is something that people like your parents, coaches and friends tell you on a daily basis, but in reality, it is the true key to success and having what you want. Think about it this way: if you are having a bad day, the only reason is because you are thinking negatively. You can transform your thoughts. It is said that every little decision you make today will affect the rest of your life and if it's a positive decision, "The Secret" states that you will only have a positive outcome.

I'm not asking you to go out and purchase "The Secret" or watch the movie. I'm going to admit that at first for me, they were both particularly clichéd. But after I thought about it for a while, it really did make sense. The only thing we can do is think positively. What's the point of ever being negative about anything? Thinking negative thoughts puts you in a bad mood and thus, attracts bad things to you.

Today, are you going to be a positive person? It doesn't have to be a drastic change. It takes time to transform your thoughts and feelings in such a dramatic way. It takes time. But anything is possible. So tell me: What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?
