The Secret By: Leilani Conklin

Have you ever seen the movie, The Secret? Well, in the movie, they basically tell you that if you concentrate on something, then you will get it, therefore the law of attraction. Such as, if you send a negative vibe because you don’t want to be late, then you will get caught in traffic and then you will be late, all because of the negative vibe. Personally, I don’t think that everything that they say in the movie is true. You have to work for things that you want; the law of attraction has nothing to do with what you think or say.

Obviously, just because you think about something, doesn’t mean it will just appear. You have to work for it. You can think about winning one million dollars all you want, but you won’t get it by just thinking about it. You have to produce something and work really hard to be able to handle something that great. Because we live on Earth, you can think about something all you want, but it’s not going to just appear.

The law of attraction is basically, “all your thoughts, all images in your mind, and all the feelings connected to your thoughts will later manifest as your reality. In other words; everything you have in your life - now - has been attracted to you through your mind.” That may be true but, as I said before, you still have to work for it. The law of attraction has to do with science, not really what you want, need, or think.

My own opinion on this movie, “The Secret” is that it is not true. To me, the way the people are telling the information, doesn’t sound very true to me. I do believe that if you think of positive or negative thoughts that could be what happens in reality, but I do not believe it the way, the movie tells you.
