The secret has been complicated....

It has been quite sometime since I had shared something with my readers (ofcourse I have no clue how many people religiously read my blog, since majority of you do not leave any comments). So I request my readers to please leave in their feedback and comments. It would help me improve and would also let me know what I am good at and what I am not good at. And I would know what my readers love to read... :)

The other day, I was watching the movie "The Secret". I watched intently for about an hour. I tried really hard to concentrate but I couldn't anymore. The movie was too heavy for a small soul like me. I mean I am not saying  that all that was said in the movie is wrong, all I am trying to say is that it was way too long. Ok, I admit. It wasn't even long. 1 and a half hour and the movie was over. But, it was too much 'bhaashan'  and by the time the movie ended, it felt that I was exhausted. Really exhausted.

All those who have seen this movie, must be knowing what law of attraction really is. For those who have not seen the movie, nor have they read the book , I'll give a little brief. They say that whatever comes in our way in this life is because we attract it towards ourselves. Whatever we think, good or bad, gets attracted towards us. For instance, if my relationship with my boyfriend is not good, then I am the one who is responsible for it. I am the one who is attracting negative thoughts about the relationship. If I keep complaining that my boyfriend does not buy me any gifts or he does not take me out for dinners or he is unable to keep me happy, then this will surely happen sometime or the other. Even if he wants to buy me a gift, he would have some negative thoughts and suddenly he would change his mind or maybe he would run out of cash or something would happen that would not let him buy the gift. A point to note here is that I may not have complained to him directly. Maybe it was just a thought. Maybe I had complained to a friend of mine. No matter what, he would not buy me a gift. 

Law of attraction works even when you have in mind what you dont want. It activates "what you dont want" into "what you want". And the thoughts prepares ourselves to get what we dont want. And eventually we get that we never wanted. Confused..?? Even I was. But mind it, the law of attraction works at all time. When we are remembering the past, thinking about the present or imagining the future, our thoughts are always active and act as a magnet and attract all that is in our mind. So beware, dont ever think that something bad is going to happen to you. 

"Imagination is everything.

It is a preview of life's coming attractions."

- Albert Einstein

Yes, that is what the law of attraction is all about. The movie goes on about how to use this law and how to understand what you want. Does law of attraction earn you money? However, the movie is not very convincing. Frankly speaking, if you really think about all that has been said, questions would definitely pop out of your mind. When I saw this movie, I was thoroughly convinced. But when I started thinking about applying this law in my life, I was not at peace anymore. 


Obviously there is a fight between our thoughts and our destiny. If the law of attraction hold true then I wonder if our destiny has any role in our lives. If our thoughts become our actions, then why do they say that we all have a fate. Why do they say "Its all in the destiny?" If a man weighs 150 kilograms, he will blame his thoughts for being overweight. It is definitely not because he has been eating too much or he is not exercising a bit. It is just because he thinks that he is fat. Does that mean that the day I start imagining myself wearing size zero clothes, without going to the gym and without controlling my diet, I would have an astonishing figure. Won't I..??   

And if I consider the case wherein I keep complaining that my boyfriend does not buy any gifts, he would run out of cash the day he wants to buy it. He would forget his credit card. The shops would be closed. But dude, that will happen on one day. But about the days after that. Next day, One week later. One month later. Unbelievable. Crap. I won't believe if they would say that he will never have money to buy a gift. Thats ridiculous. Besides, If I don't complain that he doesn't buy me a gift, then he would think that I am content with my life and may not buy any gift instead...
