I Think We All Know The Secret

I'm sure most of us have heard of it (the book, the movie), by now.

And I'm pretty sure we all know that it works, if only for other people, and we know how it works, too.

The Law of Attraction, The Cosmic Ordering Service, The Cosmic Dinner Lady, are all versions of the power of positive thinking, and we know that that works for those people with the mental strength to maintain a positive attitude, a 'can do' approach and an ability to see opportunities ahead of problems. These are the people who thrive in difficult times and prosper during recessions.

The secret, then, is to develop that ability for ourselves. Whether that is as simple as learning what we need to do from a book or film, or a longer-term project for some of us to unlearn all the negative attitudes accumulated over decades is another matter. I'm inclined to think that people who achieve quick results were on the threshold anyway, while those who struggle probably had further to go.

One thing is critical to most people's success, though, and that's a peer group of people who allow them to believe what they need to believe. Being surrounded by those who pooh-pooh every idea they're not comfortable with, or who try to hold their 'friends' down to their own level, is certain to make real success harder to achieve.

Once we've found a new way, a new group of people to help us go there and a route map we know will get us to our desired end result, we often, sadly, have to say goodbye to a few old friends along with some old ideas, our old limitations and our failure 'comfort zone'.

Usually, it's essential to move on if we're to move up.

If we can't bear to do that, we're simply not ready to succeed. It's as simple as that.

It's really No Great Secret.
