I heard a lot of things about “The Secret” but never really got the chance to read it or watch the movie that came out in 2006. I have a general stereotype about most self-help books – I don’t think most of them really do what they are made out to do. However, to my surprise - The Secret is completely different since it shares a similar philosophy to what I wrote in “The Dream.”

Our individual laws of attraction in the universe dictate our future. We choose our destiny by the decisions, feelings, and thoughts we make. When you look at your life – we all have moments we might think were miracles – but when we dig deeper we begin to realize – we created that positive energy to win and individually made them happen. When we were unsure about something, we dwelled about things, made negative energy consume us and never executed on what it was that we truly wanted.

Even as I went through the exercise of writing “The Dream” I began to have a flashback of all the great moments in my life – where failure was written all over it – but I chose to pick myself up and keep the eye on the prize. I didn’t let the negative noise around me stop me from pursuing any of them.

Everything starts with a dream – that singular emotion we all resonate is the beginning of our future. And that’s why; we all have that power to shape our own destiny.

Here’s also the first 20 minutes of The Secret Video:
