The Secret

Lesson 1. The Law of Attraction plays an important part in our life.

Rhonda Byrne narrates an incident that happened in her life. One day, she was feeling sad and unmotivated, but she soon realized that this was not the ideal way of living. She did some research and found out that there is a secret law that explains how the universe works. Poets and philosophers like William Blake and Plato have always referenced and talked about one law in particular, The Law of Attraction.

This law states that what you put out in the universe is what you will eventually receive. If you are full of negativity and your mind is full of anger, chances are that you will receive more bad and negative things in your life. On the other hand, if you have a positive outlook of life and are spreading love and positivity, you will likely end up receiving something positive in return as well. This happens due to a very simple reason, you attract what you believe in. If you are always busy focusing on the negative side of things, you will overlook all the positives. This law affects our day-to-day lives, and most of us aren't even aware about it. The good news is, we are in total control of this and always have the power to change it.

Lesson 2. The Law of Attraction is hugely influenced by Quantum Mechanics.

Most people don’t realize that the law of attraction doesn’t focus on “don’ts”. You can’t just think about the things that you don’t want, because in a way, you’ll still be putting those unfavorable things out in the universe. For example, if you spend your whole day thinking “I don’t want to fail the test”, what you are actually putting out in the universe is “I want to fail the test”. This is because the ‘don’ts’ aren’t recognized by the law of attraction.

If you put out something more positive into the universe, for example, “I want to pass the test”, the universe will understand your message, because it was a positive thought. Our focus should not be on trying to eliminate the negative, but to create something positive. For example, instead of “anti-war” campaigns and rallies, there should be more “peace” rallies. In simpler words, we should start thinking about what we actually want, not what we don’t want.

The law of attraction and quantum mechanics work almost in similar ways. Energy vibrates only at certain frequencies, and when other things vibrate at
