Update for The Secret Sequel

The Sequel to The Secret, not far away.

We are receiving more and more emails asking us about the long awaited Sequel to The Secret, and as a fan myself of The Secret, I am dying to see what their next release will be about.

My hope is that they talk more about taking action, which was only touched on briefly in the original movie.

The producers have been especially secretive about The Secret Sequel.

As retailers of the The Secret, we have developed a number of contacts through distributors as well as some of the teachers, and others who have been involved in the movie. No one has heard anything concrete, not even the biggest distributors as far as we have heard. Hmmm, this time it really is a Secret, and perhaps will remain so until the day it goes on the shelves.

But we are starting to hear some rumors that it is not far away.

According to one of the distributors,

"the sequel will probably not be coming out in January. We have not been told exactly when yet, except that it will be in the first half of the year."

She thinks there will be no teachers in it but also mentioned that the soundtrack appears to be finished.

So to all you keen Secret fans out there who have been emailing and asking about the sequel, stay tuned, it’s not far away.

The Secret Sequel – Will it Compare?

What’s Missing in The Secret?

The ‘secret’ law of attraction was introduced to many people for the first time in the phenomenal hit movie "The Secret". However, The Secret DVD does not go far enough to explain how the Law of Attraction really works. Let’s hope the upcoming sequel to The Secret continues with what’s missing in the original movie.

When the Secret DVD first came out, and when people heard about it on Oprah, there was a mad rush around the world to get a copy of it and to find out for themselves. I loved it. My eyes were opened. I still count it as one of my favorite movies.

Lots of people got really excited about it.

“At last”, they cried, “NOW I understand. All I have to do is focus my thoughts on what I want, and change the language in my head. I can manifest ANYTHING I think about. As long as I think about it hard enough and long enough”.

“I want to get results – and fast. I don’t want to wait for months or years for my dreams. I am going to practice LOTS of visualizing and positive self talk. I’ll get my Dream Life – NOW”

They eagerly watched The Secret over and over in anticipation that this would bring them their goals. They thought about their Dream all day long. They made Vision Boards and Lists of Goals. They kept a Gratitude Journal.

Now these are all extremely useful tools. Use them.

But does only this really work? Can you manifest just like this? Really?

This is where The Secret falls short. When you watch it you get the expectation that you can manifest your dream out of nowhere. That belief and faith will automatically bring you what you want. Well – yes and – no!

You MUST take action.

Mike Dooley says: “Thoughts Become Things”

A friend of mine Gideon Shalwick’s has a great quote that he uses: “Thoughts are only potential things. They become things only through specifically directed action.”

The Secret DVD only briefly mentions taking action. But it needs to be really spelt out.

Focus on your goal. Visualize it with feeling and excitement. Repeat it in your head or out loud. But here is the important missing bit ….. every time you get a little idea just popping into your head about ways to get closer to what you want, you MUST act upon it. (Bob Doyle says: “You might get some inspired idea of some action to take”.) That little idea is The Universe responding to you reaching out saying – “This is what I want”.

Thinking constantly about what you want IS important; you must focus on what you want. (John Assaraf says: “You become what you think about most but you also attract what you think about most”).

But unless you DO something you are just a dreamer. You are just building castles in the air.

“The Science of Getting Rich” was the little book which inspired The Secret DVD. In this book, Wallace D Wattles wrote:

“… man must not only think, but his personal action must supplement his thought. By thought you can cause the gold in the hearts of the mountains to be impelled toward you; but it will not mine itself, refine itself, coin itself into double eagles, and come rolling along the roads seeking its way into your pocket.

Your pocketbook is not going to be transformed into Fortune's purse, which shall be always full of money without effort on your part.

This is the crucial point in The Science of Getting Rich; right here, where thought and personal action must be combined. There are very many people who, consciously or unconsciously, set the creative forces in action by the strength and persistence of their desires, but who remain poor because they do not provide for the reception of the thing they want when it comes.

BY THOUGHT, THE THING YOU WANT IS BROUGHT TO YOU; BY ACTION YOU RECEIVE IT. “

And you must act NOW. Do not wait until you are in the perfect situation, the perfect job, the perfect relationship. NOW is the only time you have.

I love this saying that Sherry in the Organic Fruit and Veggie Shop told me the other day:

PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE

The Past is History

The Future is a Mystery

The Present is your Gift – do it NOW

Put your whole mind and strength and act to the very best of your ability in the situation in which you presently find yourself. Do your absolute best in your current job today to provide service for your customers, your employer and your work colleagues. Be the best you can in all your relationships with every person you meet. Look after your health today as if your body was a sacred temple (it is).

Make every day a successful one. A successful day is one when you have done your very best, when you have been as efficient as possible. You know if you have dallied around and wasted time and energy - having days like that actually take energy from you, disconnect you from The Universe. They don’t feel good – YOU don’t feel good.

Make very day a winner.

Now this doesn’t mean that you should work yourself to the bone, working late with long hours and running around after the whims of other people. That is not successful.

If your days are ALL successful, you are moving in the right direction. Keep holding a clear image in your head of what you want, while being deeply grateful and The Universe will respond to you and bring you closer and closer to your dreams.

So - Does The Secret Really Work?

Well – yes and – no! It has made us aware that we can consciously use our brains to focus our thinking and putting our intention towards where we want to go. And as you change on the inside, you expose yourself to larger possibilities – BUT, when those possibilities come along, then this is the time to ACT.

Have a fabulously successful day.

The Sequel to The Secret cont.

More on The Secret # 2.

This is really an update on a post from last month about The Secret sequel and what it is going to be about and when it will be released.
According to a good contact ;), that I talked to over the weekend, the sequel to The Secret will be very different to the original Secret Movie. According to him, Prime Time Productions have created a movie which is more about the Earth – ie. the world we live in and that it seems to have more of a conservation theme - taking care of nature. Prime Time Productions have been very quiet regarding the sequel to The Secret film - the only thing that is fairly clear is that it is going to be quite different.
There is also a suggestion that they appear to be gathering personal stories of gratitude and success with using The Secret.
This could be very useful for the many people who have watched the secret a half a dozen times, who thought it was wonderful and loved the message but have never really taken it any further to actually try and use it to improve their lives.
I’m sure this has happened with a huge percentage of those who watched the Secret.
They loved it, were inspired by it, watched it another few times, showed their friends, had some fantastic thoughts about trying some of the methods that they learn t from The Secret and then the next busy phase of their lives comes up and it is all forgotten.
There really is so much more to attracting exactly what you want in your life and creating your own life.
Bob Proctor teamed up with Jack Canfield and Michael Beckwith, 3 of The Teachers in The Secret, to produce a whole program which goes into much more detail than The Secret has about manifesting and The Law of Attraction. It is called 'The Secret Science of Getting Rich" program which I highly recommend as my partner and I have been following this home study program since we bought it in march 2007 and have just loved it (not to mention achieved some wonderful results from using it). But that’s another post altogether.
Here’s some information about it for those who are interested.
The Secret Science of Getting Rich Home Study Course

I have seen a number of online discussions about how a sequel to The Secret would be nothing more than a marketing exercise designed to make more money.
There is no doubt that this is one of the reasons for them to do a sequel. It would be hard to guess what sort of money they made from the first Secret Movie. But to me, there is nothing wrong with this.
The Secret has added value to millions of lives. And this is how we as a society function – we provide a service, offer value to others and get paid accordingly to the value that we offer.
Bob Proctor dedicates a whole chapter in the SGR program to this notion, this idea of adding value to other peoples lives.
Our aim should be to “Give people more in use value than you take from them in cash value. Then, you are adding to the life of the world with every business transaction”.
If just 5% of those who have seen The Secret went out and improved their lives for the better using the methods in The Secret. That is a great service.
Or for those who saw the movie and were inspired enough to achieve something in their lives, even if they had no intention of using the methods in The Secret, then that is also a great service and is well worth the value that was spent on it.
But I think there were actually a lot more people than just 5% of those who saw The Secret who’s lives have changed for the better because of it.
And considering there have been millions of copies sold, as well as the obviously countless number of people that watched it online or have burnt a copy, that adds up to a lot of individuals.

For those that think it is purely money making exercise alone, they have obviously not looked into The Secret deeply enough!

Update: June 2008

We have just received confirmation that the next product to be released will be the new Secret Book. Exact dates haven’t been disclosed yet but it is not too far away. One of the major ‘Secret’ distributors that we know well have mentioned that it should be released sometime between now and October 08.

Planet Earth Forever

The most recent release from The Secret is a wonderful inspirational clip called Planet Earth Forever. Who knows, maybe this is what the sequel to The Secret will be about.

Do take a look at this lovely film clip, just sit back and enjoy the music and our beautiful Planet Earth for three minutes. It’s good for your soul.

Changing a negative thought into a positive one.

Staying Positive

"Happiness is an attitude. We either make ourselves miserable, or happy and strong. The amount of work is the same."
Francesca Reigler

If you’re reading my blog you probably know a bit about the Law of Attraction, or are at least interested in learning more about it.

Basically the Law of Attraction states that we attract what we think about most.

You might have seen the scene on The Secret where the guy keeps going to his letter box expecting there to be bills, and guess what, he gets bills, over and over again.

So how do we make those negative thoughts become positive ones and achieve the rewards that we should be receiving?

How do we stop those pesky little (and sometimes not so little) negative thoughts from coming into our heads, or if they do happen to force their way in, how do we eradicate them and replace them with positive, good vibes? (dude)

Since late 2006 I had some major issues with money and the environment. You could call me a tight-arse (stingy) and I wouldn’t argue with you (now days anyway). Saving here and skimping there, I used to buy a new pair of shoes perhaps once every 3 years when the old ones used to be just about falling apart. I used to worry incessantly about where or when I was going to make enough money to live on past the next week. In reality, I look back at that time and we were in much better shape than I ever gave credit for. We owned an investment property in Brisbane (a capitol cities in Australia), we ate good food every night, and I even managed to slip off for a surf every couple of weeks (which was 2hrs away) from the city. Yes we owned a car as well and lived in a small but nice house. There’s gratitude for you….not.

I also worried incessantly about the environment and how the future looked bleak for my daughter with global warming and record low rainfall in our area etc. But there wasn’t much I could do about this because I was working far too hard to make the next dollar for next weeks living expenses and was too much of a tight-arse to buy green energy.

So I worried!

As clichéd as some might think it sounds, it was when I watched The Secret that my attitude changed dramatically.

Probably the first thing that I did which made a huge difference was to set some real goals – the “ask” bit in The Secret.

These were positive goals that were achievable to me, although I did bump them up a bit in order to make them a bit more challenging. Funnily enough I reached the initial goals that I set before the bump up, I suppose this was concreted into my subconscious mind (by me of course) as I was setting my goals. And because I had implanted the idea in my head that this is what I could definitely achieve – low and behold, this is what I achieved.

Not only did setting these really wonderful goals help me to focus on what I wanted, it also kept me in a positive frame of mind…….most of the time.

Yes there were those moments when good old Mr negative tried to squirm his way back into my brain and pick a fight with the new boys on the block positive thoughts.

It was my partner who helped me with how to push the negative thoughts away.

The idea was to keep a tab on when those negative thoughts tried to come in, and immediately replace them with thoughts of my goals. My goals are obviously a lovely picture in my head so it made my happy and positive again. Pretty soon this became a habit for me and the negative thoughts became less and less as the days went on. This also showed up dramatically in the results I was getting, as well as how I was living my life right now. I was actually enjoying life and appreciating the things that I had – good food, a wonderful family, a house, a car, the freedom to go on surf trips.

Now, after years of unnecessary worry about money, things have changed for the better. The type of work that I do has not changed much at all, but now I see all the possibilities ahead of me, rather than losing sleep over whether we will have enough for next weeks rent. And guess what, with my new attitude, I can now do much more meaningful things towards helping the environment such as taking time to plant some trees or donating money to the right charity, and we now have 100% green energy.

The last thing that I would like to mention about changing a negative thought to a positive is about staying inspired. As you may have guessed, surfing is a passion of mind, I’ve probably only mentioned it a half dozen times here but this is what keeps me inspired. And of course, surfing was firmly embedded amongst several of the goals that I set after seeing The Secret, i.e. to do more of it.

This is what floats my boat (pardon the pun), but inspiration obviously comes in many different forms to each individual.

It can particularly help if you have had a succession of downs, a whole day of negative thoughts and you’re struggling to get your head back into a positive space.

Stop everything and go to your passion, your inspiration. You’re only going to attract more of the negative if you continue on that path, so it is not worth continuing.

For me it might be playing with my beautiful daughter, going to the beach, putting on a great surf video or some great music that I listened over and over on some of my surf trips with my surf buddies.

Turning to your inspiration is a wonderful way to help turn your whole attitude around and give you a fresh start to being positive again.

Here is a great video in another that I have watched over and over again to inspire me - Inspiration!

Feel free to leave your ideas of how you stay positive.

The power of gratitude

Gratitude is something I use a lot these days. I actually have a “Gratitude/My ideal life diary”. So much fun and enjoyment goes in to this. I write three gratitude points daily as well as 15 minutes of writing about my “Ideal life”. The feelings you get when you write about this are amazing, try it…You will enjoy it for sure. Be aware of your facial expressions when you write. It makes you smile!

This prayer of gratitude was found on a scrap of paper in a rancid dormitory at the liberation of Ravensbruck Concentration Camp in Germany at the end of World War II.

"Lord, remember not only the men of good will, but also those of ill will. But do not remember all the suffering they have inflicted upon us. Remember rather the fruits we have brought, thanks to this suffering: our comradeship, our loyalty, our humility, the courage, the generosity, the greatness of heart that has grown out of this. And when they come to judgment, let all the fruits we have born be their forgiveness."

The Power of Gratitude is an extremely important aspect of attracting to you the abundance and happiness that you desire and deserve in your life.

How is it that gratitude can affect the life experiences that you encounter from day to day? The power of gratitude works on the brain. It is a useful approach to lifting the spirit to a higher frequency where deep and lasting happiness can occur.

There is a very simple reason why most spiritual traditions suggest that when praying we give thanks for what we already have rather than ask for what we do not have. The power of gratitude and the vibration it creates within us always attracts more good things to us. You were guided here to learn how the power of gratitude will transform your life into a dream come true.

Apply the power of gratitude to supercharge your success. You can do this by consciously training yourself to notice everything you have to be grateful for and by doing so, tap into the power of gratitude.

Gratitude is often overlooked and seldom ever considered to be an important aspect of re-programming your subconscious for success. You may have read scientific studies that actually show that folks excel after they adopted an attitude. Where gratitude was part of their everyday life, or maybe they started to keep a Gratitude Journal, their lives were noticeably changed. Being grateful and seeing situations (good or "bad") as a blessing brings more joy and happiness into your life.

When you are thankful for something, no matter how small it is, you are initiating the Law of Attraction to get even more of what you want and deserve. Watch how the power of gratitude works to create peace, beauty and joy in your life. The most powerful attitude we can ever have is the attitude of gratitude.

By learning to appreciate what you have, you increase your ability to harvest the abundance of “the supreme power” or God if you prefer. When you are able to fully develop that awareness, (and with a little practice, you will) not only is it an extremely freeing experience, but you are setting yourself up for a much greater flow of abundance and happiness being attracted to and coming into your life. The Universal Laws that govern everything in life are in place and you only need to learn to operate in harmony with them. When you do, it will allow you to attract the abundance and happiness that you desire.

Go for it, be grateful for every single little thing.

“I am so happy and grateful to be able to share this information with as many people as possible.”
