A day in the life of a Mexican

I watched a documentary called The Secret last night and it turns out that The Secret was not much of a mystery to me!

The video documentary goes to explain how the Laws of Attraction work in the Universe, after watching the video I quickly e-mailed a friend of mine.  I sent him the e-mail because I remember having a conversation with him and some other friends about this 8 years ago! We knew The Secret LONG before it was a movie and way before it got its own show on Oprah, The Ellen Show or on Larry King Live!

I remember the moment perfectly, we were standing outside the gray building that hosted the offices for the State of the World Forum for Emerging Leaders.  The team that was formed to organize this global conference was truly a dream team. The impossible was made possible by a group of young idealists after a year of planning and hard work.

I was standing alongside some of these great leaders on a cold winter night, and somehow the conversation shifted towards philosophy.  We started giving our opinion about how what we had in our hands surpassed everyone’s expectations - even our own! How positive thinking and hard work along with some sort of external force had aligned everything perfectly.  We talked about how thoughts travel through the world (collective thinking) and how these thoughts connect us all. It has been proven that people come up with the exact same invention or idea at the exact same time even when they are on opposite sides of the planet (and this was way before the phone, fax and let alone the internet came into our lives). We talked about how it is a fact that those who write down their goals reach these goals much more often than those who don’t. The conversation went on for hours …..

So watching The Secret Video gave me a bit of a flashback to that cold winter night when my friends and I came up with our own version of THE SECRET.

I agree that Universal Laws governs everyone, everywhere. Some of these laws cannot be changed and cannot be broken.

I agree with the following statements and have seen the results of this translate into my life (before I was even aware of it).

• Like attracts like
• Whatever you want wants you
• What you sow, you reap
• What you put out you get back
• What comes around goes around

I always visualized myself doing exactly what I am doing now. Did it pop into my lap while I was watching TV?  Nope - certainly NOT! I had to get up, study and work VERY hard to make it happen!  I concentrate on the positive and don’t dwell on the failures. I give thanks for what I have in life every day, I plan, smile at life and move forward.

I’m not sure if this is the way to success. I’m sure many other people have their own strategies and formulas and what works for them might be completely different.  I’m just sharing the fact that THIS works for me - I’m a happy person and anybody who knows me well can atest to it.

Carpe Diem!
