April's Book Review by Layal Twal: The Secret

I want chocolate, I want a brand new car, I want to lose weight. We want a lot of things in life. What if you can have whatever you want if you want it badly enough. “The Secret” isn’t an ordinary book. Everybody likes to know secrets. What if this book holds in it the greatest secret?

“The Secret”, written by Rhonda Byrne, describes in a very special way how everything works around us and within our lives. After introducing “the Secret”, the author dedicates individual chapters to specific topics in our lives and explains how the secret applies in each one of them: the secret to money, to relationships, to health and many more. 

What will surprise you the most while reading the book is that you will realize how the secret has always been in your life, it’s just that you weren’t aware of it.

There is this supreme power. It isn’t God, nor Zeus. It’s a law that was taught in school. Back there, it seemed to us like a simple physic law. Truth is it controls all what revolves around us: it is the law of attraction. It is this natural power that makes us who we are today and that controls the lives we are living.

Don’t be so surprised. A few days ago, I was watching the movie “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”.  The kid wanted so bad to go visit this factory that he build a mini-factory out of toothpaste caps. He wanted it so bad that he got a first chocolate bar and a second one before he randomly got the third one after finding money on the sidewalk. He wanted it bad enough that he got it. He attracted what he wanted for himself. For those who don’t know the movie you can think of a example from your own life. If you wake up in the morning and hit your toe in the bed’s wood, it will hurt you, you will get angry and you will be asking yourself a similar question: “Why does my life suck so bad that first thing in the morning I hurt myself with the bed?”  Those are bad thoughts and, when you apply the law of attraction (“Like attracts like”) to them, the rest of your day will be just like your morning.

“The Secret” reveals that the thoughts we send out to the universe will come right back to us. Think good thoughts and it will provoke other good thoughts.

“As you learn The Secret, you will come to know how you can have, be, or do anything you want. You will come to know the true magnificence that awaits you in life”.

This might just be the book you need to change your life.

Enjoy reading it, learn from it and apply it.
