7 Key Takeaways from The Secret by Rhonda Byrne

The Secret is a self-help book about the power of positive thinking by Rhonda Byrne. It reveals the greatest secret of the universe and gives you the key to a better you. 

We have summarized some of the teachings of The Secret in a nutshell. We hope you find them useful!

1. Thoughts become things:

Exactly what we think about will manifest itself into our reality at some point in time. Whatever is going on in your mind is what you are attracting into your life, either consciously or unconsciously.

To attract wealth, abundance, happiness and love, you have to think those thoughts exclusively and refrain from allowing negative, contradictory thoughts to creep into your mind.

2. Like attracts like:

Humans are the most powerful magnets in the world. We magnetically attract people and life experiences to us based on what we are feeding our mind.

Thus, As you think a thought, you naturally begin attracting like thoughts to you as well. For example, happy thoughts will attract more happy thoughts, and as a result, you’ll naturally feel happier. The opposite is also true; If you think in a certain way that does not benefit you or make you feel good, you are by default attracting more thoughts that will not make you feel any better about my life or my situation.

To improve your life and get yourself out of the slump, you need to first change your thoughts. Focus on the good, not the bad.

3. Mindset is everything:

People don’t always go into experiences or events with the right mindset or perspective.

They tend to see things from a negative point of view before re-channelling their thoughts to see a positive alternative. If you are a victim of such a mindset, it is holding you back from the success you desire.In this book, you are reminded that the way you see things in my life greatly influence what you experience.

Thus, to shift your mindset, you have to see things differently. You have to see things through rose-coloured glasses instead of blue. You have to erase thoughts of defeat so that you can focus primarily on thoughts of victory.

4. Focus on Feeling Good:

Feelings and emotions are key to creating the life of your desires.

How you feel affects what you think and therefore influences the experiences you bring into your life so we must focus on feeling good. especially since we currently live in a world filled with people who don’t feel good at all. Depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues are plaguing millions around the world. Maybe you are one of them. You need to realize that feeling good includes letting go of your past, enjoying your life, surrounding yourself with the people, animals and nature that you love, and doing things that put a smile on your face.when you are feeling bad or thinking bad thoughts; shift your mindset to focus on healthier thoughts; do activities that make you feel good, and almost instantly your emotions will change as well.

Feeling good is all we ever want anyway. No one actually wants to feel bad.

5. ASK. BELIEVE. RECEIVE:

Receiving what you want from the Universe is easy.

All you have to do is:

1. Ask for what you want (make a clear command to the Universe about what you want)

2. Believe that you’ll receive what you’re asking for (know that what you want is yours the moment you ask)

3. Receive your desires (on the frequency of receiving, all you have to do is continue to feel good)

The key here is to believe!

If we’re doubtful about actually attracting into our lives what we want, we block the energetic flow that wants to bring us our desires.

6. The Universe is Abundant:

There’s more than enough good to go around for all of us.

There’s more than enough room for all of us to achieve wealth, happiness, love, abundance, success, and whatever else we want out of life.

There is no such thing as lack.

Our abilities to think and expand our minds are unlimited, therefore, the things that we can think into existence is unlimited.

7. We are the creators of our destiny:

We are in full control over the vision we have for ourselves.

Whether we succeed or fail in attracting our desires into our lives, we are fully responsible for it.

Why? Because we are the masters over our lives. We make choices and decisions every day that either leads us to what we want or away from what we want.

There is honestly no one else to blame but ourselves if we make choices that are self-defeating.

Thus, we must take responsibility for the lives we’ve created for ourselves thus far and let go of the thoughts that led us astray from what we really want.

To be the creators of destiny we’re proud of, we must think new thoughts of what we want, feel them with emotions that make us feel good, and be grateful that what we’ve asked for is already done and on its way to us.

It’s as simple and as difficult as that!
