The Secret... of the secret

So, for those of you who have not yet seen or read the book 'The Secret', well that is your major goal at this step in my opinion. Its not so much that this movie/documentry will heal your soul or provide life changing solutions on its own, rather it provides the key, the first step if you will in shinning the light up the right path, rather then so plentiful 'wrong' or less then successful paths.

There was one, rather two key things that stuck with me after watching 'The Secret' for about the 30th time. And that was;

1) you need to keep trying regardless how long it takes, to many people quit just as they are getting started.

2) if you want to be successful, you need to act successful.

What this ment for me was simple. Well, not so simple at first, it took me about 30 times of watching 'The Secret' and the 'The Secret' alone before it dawned on me. If you were to decide you wanted to buy a car, and lets say its your very first car, the one that a pimple faced inexperienced teenageer buys. Unless someone helped you buy that first car, what did the majority of us do? We did a little research (maybe), we put some money together and bought pretty much the first shiny car in our price range that suited our "needs". Since that car, what have you learned about buying cars? You learn to research better, to buy what you actually need, get registration checks, maybe get a mechanic to look at it and pherhaps many other things.

My point is rather simple. It took watching 'The Secret' 30 odd times before I figured it out, that the movie alone was not going to do it, and really, why should it? Why would watching a single movie once in your life have an ever lasting effect on your life? Do you think David Beckham never trains, he just goes out and plays, do you think Ronnie Coleman after he won his first contest never trained again? Of course they keep training, they train harder and smarter. They look for better more efficient ways of succeding and being the BEST in their chosen fields.

So whats your chosen field? It may be a sport, an occupation or a skill. For me its was/is financial freedom. And then it dawned on me. To know how to be financially free, I would have to study about it. Learn about money, how it works, its dynamics, what its value is, how to use it and how to respect it.
