Secret

Shh… I have a secret to tell you…

What is the secret?

Everyone is always interested with the secret to this that and everything under the sky that their mind can think of. But what really is the secret?

The secret is a powerful process that certain people practice to get what they want in life. There is no right or wrong way to practicing the secret. Everyone understands it differently. It really is very simple. It is the intention, that ultimate goal that you really want to achieve.

For a start, learn from the experts. Rhonda Byrne has compiled in her best-selling book simply named “the Secret” all the people who understood the secret that brought success in whatever they do.

We often ask these questions to ourselves or to the people around us or even Mr Google:
What is the secret to wealth and abundance?
What is the secret to lasting relationships?
What is the secret to great health?
What is the secret to being successful?
What is the secret to living a good life?

It has been known for centuries, probably from the first existence of men, that whatever our mind thinks, the universe works in the best interest for us. But knowing is one thing, practicing is another. What is it that the people who have been enlightened do that I am not doing?

First step, perhaps you should pick up that book. You might not like to read but every doing can be nurtured. Some people just doze off the moment they pick a book up. Perhaps it is the location that is causing you to doze off. Reading is a good practice. There are numerous books in the self-help section of any book store, even the online ones. Just pick one with the title that most interests you.

I personally recommend the first book to be the Secret by Rhonda Byrne. The layout is interesting and the text is not the regular super boring same type of fonts used throughout the whole book. The way things are highlighted to catch the interest of readers is really propelling. She even incorporated success stories from regular people like you and I. By practicing what they believe is true, they achieve success in their own way.

It is all about taking the first step. The very first thing to do is to step outside your comfort zone.

There is no guarantee as to when you will succeed but if you do not take that first step, you will be grounded within the fence that you have happily put up. There are no fences in nature. Humans have created that tool to supposedly keep humans safe and dangers out. But if everyone were to just stay within the fence, nobody will be able to discover what exactly is out there. Perhaps we have been made to believe that life is as such. There is no way to turning things around.

This brings me to an interesting movie, “The Maze”. Perhaps we all have been put in an experimental enclosure. Perhaps whatever we do is being observed. We never know unless we choose to find out.

Be clear of what you want to achieve in life. Dream big! Start small!

We are all born equal. We are all born with six senses. It is us that have crippled our sixth sense. It is time to bring it out to light again.

Start something, anything. Commit to doing it on a daily basis. It is discipline that really matters, nothing else. You can have the best plan in your mind but the universe is random. Everyone has a different thought. The universe compiles all thoughts and make the best outcome to fit everyone. The universe cannot determine what is good or bad. So, if you have positive thoughts, positive events will happen to you. It may look like something negative at first, but the ultimate outcome will always be positive. You just need to look further.

Believe. Truly believe that the universe is working in your favour. Truly believe that everything you think and do is working towards your ultimate goal. The universe will align itself to suit your needs. Stay strong in your beliefs and ultimately, you will see your dreams come true.

Start with a clear mind, commit with discipline, and truly believe in it. This is the secret to success!

 

People who have drawn wealth into their lives used The Secret, whether consciously or unconsciously. They think thoughts of abundance and wealth, and they do not allow any contradictory thoughts to take root in their minds.

Dawn

Dawn means hope.

Whatever it was yesterday is the past. Whatever it is tomorrow is the future. Whatever it is at the moment is the now. Where do we live in; the past, the future, or the now? Whatever the choice is, it is an individual choice.

Yesterday means past events. They are useful because they make us who we are now. Sometimes, the events mean something right at that moment, sometimes not. However, we should put in mind that everything happens for a reason, and the reason can be subtle. We may not be able to make head or tail of it at the moment that it happens. Somehow, someday, we may realize that the universe is trying to nurture us for the better at that very moment. We are just not ready to see the path.

Tomorrow means the future. Whatever is waiting for us in the future is out of our control. There is really no point in fretting about it. We can do our best to prepare to braise ourselves should anything out of the ordinary happens. We can plan ahead for the future but should never expect something to happen in our favour. Nothing is hard fixed. Changes can always happen. We just need to prepare for it when it comes.

Today means to live at the moment. Many of us love to dwell in the past and think of the future. How many actually live in the present? Perhaps we insist that we are living in the present but are we really doing so?

Have you ever felt like this very event has happened to you before, like deja vu? Perhaps we have seen the events happening in our dreams but somehow it feels too real to be from a dream. Every scent, sound, and feeling is exactly the same. We may not understand how the universe actually works. We may not know why the universe is making us go through the same event over and over. Sometimes the events may even reoccur so many times it drives us insane.

Perhaps we are working too hard to try to understand something beyond our understanding. What do we do? But it really is bothering our livelihood. Now is the time to pick up a book and hopefully find some answers. Some say that it is easier to ask Mr Google. Who are we to say which the better way is?

There is much information out there from great minds waiting to be unleashed. We just have to keep searching. Sometimes the information may not be the right answer but we managed to pick it up because it resonates well with us. With the right wavelength, everything can spark. Nothing happens by accident. When something of the like happens, we need to be sensitive enough to pick it up and work from there.

Have you ever thought of something so much that you find events happening around you pointing to a direction that you most want? Sometimes it happens right from the start, sometimes it takes years before anything happen in your favour. The length of time it takes for any dream to come true has everything to do with us and the decisions we make.  

The stronger we believe in ourselves, the stronger the universe works in our favour.

Some may say that I have a strong believe that I will get rich tomorrow. I truly believe that. But have you ever taken any action to make that dream come true? We can learn many things along in life. When is it that we want to take action for something solid to happen is entirely by choice. We have many ideas. Our mind might be cluttered. How much do we know what we want? How much are we willing to change ourselves for change to happen in our lives? Are we still stuck in our comfort zone?

Time is moving. The world is changing. If not now, then when? When is the right time to move forward? When is your time to move to the future you are looking toward?

With every dawn, we witness a new day. Now is the time.

 

Let every dawn be to you as the beginning of life, and every setting sun be to you as its close.    

John Ruskin, English art critic of the Victorian era, 1819-1900

Book

What is the most mentioned book on earth?

The word book started off as a learning tool. The first book I can remember reading is Peter and Jane. This is a very good series of books. Those were the days when we only had books to learn from, no computer, no iPad, and no smart phone. The only device that is anything close to the electronic devices we have today would be the television. Even that has been enhanced a lot.

The first books that our parents read to us are probably bedtime stories or fairy tales. They are usually beautiful stories of great imaginative minds talking about a prince and a princess. These stories seem beautiful at the beginning but if you really think about the storyline, it is probably the one biggest obstacle to the female gender. We have been instilled since the early ages that male are more superior over female. This is not a myth. All the fairy tales have one thing in common; the princes are always the saviour, the princesses always need to be saved. Period.

Perhaps parents should start looking for other choices of fairy tales. Children should be guided toward their own personality, and not to those of others. There is a fair selection of books that motivates the female gender to become a stronger person. There are even books that impart good morale and multiracial community. Children have a direct mindset, everyone is equal. It is the adults that instill upon them to be aware of a certain race, religion, nationality, or gender. Have we forgotten we all belong to the same animal species; homo sapiens?

Homo sapiens have been given a very important gift. We have the largest brain compared to all the other animals in the animal kingdom. We are also the largest population of animals walking this earth. We are also the most widely spread species around the world. We are the only animals that can fly in the air, walk on earth, and swim under sea. We are the superior species that dominates the earth so much we deplete the resources to our own needs. We are the only species that could save or wipe out the entire animal kingdom.

Wake up. We really need to wake up. We need to feed our souls with the understanding of how the universe works. We are the creators and destroyers at the same time. We have opportunity to make things right. We only need the wisdom and the know-hows. Sometimes, with our large brain size, we tend to over think things. Many of the things in life are very simple and yet we like to dwell in our thoughts for the longest possible time. Will we ever understand? Perhaps.

There are many platforms to find the information we may need to make us better. The first we learn is from books. Now, in this era, comes the paperless form of books. The World Wide Web is a vast information library from around the world. Then, there is the introduction to e-books, and the most mentioned Facebook. These are all very convenient ways to improve ourselves but they are nothing compared to the physical form of books.

Novels usually come in paperback and encyclopedias usually come in hardcover. These two are quite typical. Another typical example would be comics that usually come in magazine form. Then there are text books, revision books, and exercise books that are only used in schools. The best category of all is self-help books. They come in many shapes and size, often filled with vibrant colours or motivational quotes. I love books of this category because they allow my imagination to run free and affirm that I am special. Everybody needs to know the beauty of books from this category.

However, there are always people who resist reading books. They are always giving the excuses that books are boring. Perhaps they need a little brain train. I know of many who have very short attention and they are usually the ones that do not like reading books. They have not met with their right mentor. A book can be way more interesting than the internet. Imagine a world with no electricity and internet. What would you do?

Whenever you read a good book, somewhere in the world a door opens to allow in more light.
