Journeying to 30 with The Secret

Day 16

2010-03-02T22:24:00.000-05:00

So, I took some time off and I know deep in my heart I had to get back into using The Secret's Daily Teaching. Now, on Day 16, it's all about LOVE. Love gives us the greatest feelings but also could give us the worst feelings. Love is a very powerful feeling. I know who I love and what I love. Having love is a very important necessary in life. "The more love we feel, the greater our power to create a magnificent life of love, joy, and harmony." My questions are, what happens when you don't feel love? How do we create a greater power if at times we feel we are lacking love? I know The Secret is all about GRATITUDE! So, I am going to try to use gratitude to attract more love in my life. I am grateful for my mother who loves me unconditionally and I am grateful for my dog, Luna who every single day no matter what greets me at the front door and is so happy to see me. Today's Daily Teaching is about love and using gratitude I know I will attract more love into my life!

Day 15

2010-01-26T23:18:00.000-05:00

Today's affirmation is about receiving answers in life. In order to receive answers in life you need to begin to ask questions. I know for myself I always found myself asking, "why" when things happened. But, that type of questioning is different to what today's affirmation is about. The Secret wants you to ask questions in order to get the answers and live a better life. One question that I found myself asking about life, was why I am in the current position of my life. I wanted to be in another place other than where I was. But, I think from asking questions and searching for the answers to be a better person. Thankfully, I received many answers in my life and it helped me to grow! I am happy to be where I am today.
On another note, driving home today I couldn't help but see the sunset. Seeing the sunset reminds how powerful the Universe and God is. Also, that I now that the Universe is on my side. Asking questions is a great source to begin to go on your own journey of becoming a better person.

Day 14

2010-01-25T21:15:00.000-05:00

"The greatest revolution in our generation is the discovery that human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives." William James
I know that this is really true! Ever since I read The Secret it has truly changed my thinking, which in turn changed my personality for the better. I truly believe if you want to change yourself you need to change your thinking. For instance, I was really upset about turning 30 years old. But, over time I have been changing my thinking and looking it my age as a positive. I know look at it that I am approaching an amazing year with unlimited possibilities to come. I thank in advance the Universe for everything amazing in my life. So, I will turn 30 years old with my head held high and looking forward to amazing things to come!

Day 13

2010-01-25T20:52:00.000-05:00

I'm back! I was going to stop writing my blog because something a commitment to something everyday scares me! But, as I go day after day, I feel guilty. I know deep down that I should continue and not quit! So, here I am, continuing my journey to 30 using The Secret!
Today's affirmation, is about attracting what you want in life. Well, the Daily Teaching says that whatever you want or don't want by the law of attraction you are attracting it to. Positive or negative whatever thoughts you have it comes your way. This is scary! I feel like I have to really work hard to tune out the negative thoughts so that I keep positive thoughts so that I have positive come into my life.
I'm wondering how I could change my thoughts on something that I want. I have wanted for years tickets to the Oprah Winfrey Show and I have been unsuccessful. I have had the opportunity to have tickets twice to her show and unfortunately lost them! What are the chances that an Oprah fan has tickets to her show twice and loses them twice! I wonder want am I sending out into the Universe that this keeps happening. I know that I need to visualize myself there and I am going to realize that the law IS responding to me!! So, Oprah here I come. I know, like I know that I am attending an Oprah Winfrey Show!

Day 12

2010-01-20T00:02:00.000-05:00

Today's Daily Teaching how aware you are of the words you use and the words that people use. I know that I am for sure at this point. I know watch the words I speak because I now know how much power they have. Also, I consistently listening so carefully to the words other people speak. Listening for negative or positive words have without a doubt made be a better listener. I know take in what people say to me and at times point out if it is really negative talk. So, I thank The Secret for helping me become a better listener and speaker of the positive language. I know for sure each and every day I am becoming more consciously aware of becoming a better person and helping those around me!

Day 11

2010-01-17T21:42:00.000-05:00

Today's Daily Teaching is about relaxing. It states that you should relax in order to become more in harmony with the law of attraction and the Universe. I know that this is very true for myself because I am a teacher. However, I also know that I need to at times relax more. It suggests to, "sit down comfortably. Notice how you are feeling, and now relax your entire body." This is something I will try to so when I feel I am stressed. What I currently do is taking deep breathes in and out. But, sitting down comfortably and really just getting in tune with myself with help me get more align with the law of attraction. Which, will then help me to live the best life possible. So, I'm off to relax and get more in tuned with positive harmony!

Day 10

2010-01-16T21:48:00.000-05:00

Today's Daily Teaching is about being you! "You are a unique and magnificent human being." This is amazing to really think about. You live life everyday not thinking about it, but there's is no one else like you in the world. I was so worried about turning 30 years old this year. When really I should be celebrating because I work hard every day trying to continue to grow as a person. So, we are all unique and should celebrate that so that we truly live our lives to the fullest each and every single day!

Day 9

2010-01-16T21:39:00.000-05:00

"Your life is a reflection of what you hold inside you, and what you hold inside you is always under your control." Today's Daily teaching is about what we experience and attract is based on what is inside of us. Wow, that is truly a big pill to swallow! So, all the negative events that happened in my life I attracted! Looking back on my life and all of the negative events, I can see that I wasn't in the right place at those times. Ever since I read The Secret a few years ago, I really feel that my life changed. I now can see that because of my thinking changing towards the positive, I now attract positive experiences
So, for 2010 my affirmation will be: I am going to continue to attract positivity into my life by using the law of attraction!

Day 8

2010-01-13T23:27:00.000-05:00

First and foremost I want to start with thanking the universe for the most unbelievable sunset this morning! This morning I had to wake up earlier than I usually do because I had a meeting at work. When I stepped outside to walk my dog, the sky literally looked like it was on fire! It was truly breathtaking! So, thank you, thank you, thank you for the beautiful sky and giving me the ability to witness it. It truly is amazing how all the events that had to take place for me to see the sunset!
Today's Daily Teaching is about two simple little words that carry power. Those two simple words are, THANK YOU! "Two words that will create miracles in your life, wipe out negativity, and bring you abundance in all things...There are just two words standing between you, happiness, and the life of your dreams... THANK YOU." This is so true! Thank you to The Secret, the book, and Louise Hay and many of her great books. I've learned to be grateful for everything that I have from these amazing works of literature. It seems easier than you think to be thankful for everything you have. However, in actuality it takes a lot of work to realize the simplest things we should be grateful for. An example of this would be turning 30 years old for me. I thank the Universe for letting me live such a great life, because I know in many other countries, other than America, people don't live to the age of 30. Another simple thing in life I am thankful for is clean available water, which many other countries don't have. To conclude for today, I want to say thank you to Rhonda Byrne, Oprah Winfrey, and Louise Hay for sending me on this amazing journey of finding myself and teaching me how to be thankful!

Day 7

2010-01-12T23:19:00.000-05:00

Today is Day 7 and I had an Aha moment! I was watching the Oprah show and it was about fashion at any age. This year I will now be put into a different age group - the thirty age group! Just then I realized truly that I am going to be 30 years old! Yes, I am trying to become a better person this year and at the same time try to enlighten people as I do it, but I am grown up! I'm such a grown up that even my fashion needs to change at 30!
Well, what do you know, as I turn to today's daily teaching it is: "Happiness depends upon ourselves." - Aristotle
Happiness does come from within and it doesn't matter what age you are. We have the choice to live our lives to the fullest or we could be stuck in one place. Today, I decide to live and live as much as I could because life has so much to offer. I know that I am happy and that is all that matters. Age doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things! I have a great family, friends, dog, and job. I am a happy person and I look forward to becoming 30 because it just means I have grown wiser and have become the person I want to be! So, I open my arms to the abundance that this year has to offer!

Day 6

2010-01-11T23:20:00.000-05:00

Today's Daily Teaching is about no matter where you are in life, you are always being moved toward magnificence. This is so true but at times it is difficult to remind yourself of. Using the law of attraction really helps me to remind myself that I am being moved toward magnificence. Every morning when I walk my dog I open my arms to the abundance of life. This helps me along my path and welcomes greatness into my life. This Daily Teaching also goes along with yesterday's teaching of finding the gift in all negative situations. The underlying gift in a negative situation is that it is moving you towards your magnificence! So, in my journey to 30 years old I know that I am moving right towards MAGNIFICENCE and I open my arms to an abundance of it!

Day 5

2010-01-10T23:28:00.000-05:00

Today is Day 5 and before I begin, I just want to thank the beautiful sky that I saw today! (I'm still trying to get to my goal of 100 things to be grateful for.)
Today's Daily Teaching is about looking for the gifts in what appears to be a negative situation. I know for myself, I have had many negative situations in the past with relationships with men. I would never find the gift in the situation at the time. But as I grow into a better person I now examine negative situations and find the gift. Now, if a relationship ends for me, I tell myself the Universe has something better in store for me! I send it out to the Universe and I adjust my new path. "Adjusting to a new path and a new direction will require new qualities and strengths, these qualities are always exactly what we need to acquire in order to accomplish the great things ahead in our life." I know, like I know, my life is blessed with greatness! So, on my last note, always examine even the worst situation and try to find the gift within!

Day 4

2010-01-09T23:29:00.000-05:00

Today is Day 4 and its Daily Teaching is so true! Today's teaching is about tuning into your cosmic communication. This is your little inner voice that talks to you. It explains that the Universe is helping you along and communicating with you. "The good feelings mean, GOOD FOR YOU. The bad feelings are to get your attention so that you will change what you are focusing on." I know for myself there have been so many times that I had bad feelings on something and I never look at it like it's my cosmic communication. I know that now at this point in my life I have good feelings and now I know the Universe is telling me, GOOD FOR YOU!

Day 3

2010-01-09T23:09:00.001-05:00

Today's Daily Teaching is about attracting your tomorrow. You are truly able to attract into your life whatever you want. I know for many years I attracted many negative events into my life because I was unhappy. So therefore, I would bring more unhappiness and negative events into my life. "Joy attracts more joy. Happiness attracts more happiness. Peace attracts more peace. Gratitude attracts more gratitude. Kindness attracts more kindness. Love attracts more love." This is so true. I know that ever since I became aware of sending out optimism I began to live a different life! I now smile and greet everyone I come into contact with so that I send that kindness and attract it back to me. My life has been better ever since I started to feel good on the inside and many amazing experiences have happened to me because of it. So I will continue to attract a great life. For this year as I journey to 30 years old, I plan to use the law of attraction for love and happiness.

Day 2

2010-01-07T18:58:00.000-05:00

Today's Daily Teaching is about gratitude. "When you put all of your energy into gratitude, you will see miracles take place in your life." This is so true but it is something that I hardly think about. It suggests to change things in your life quickly, write 100 things each day that you are grateful for. Immediately, the first thing that came into my mind is that 100 things is a lot. But, in actuality it really isn't. So, here is my challenge to try to change my life for the better. I figured I would start small for the first time to help build myself up for the challenge. I am going to make a list of 30 things that I am grateful for.
I am grateful for:
1. my mother
2. my sister Kimberly
3. my sister Erika
4. my friend Dolores
5. my friend Jackie
6. my friend Michelle
7. my friend Christine
8. my friend Jessica
9. all of my friends
10. my family
11. my nephew Christian
12. my nephew Lucas
13. my dog Luna
14. my job
15. my stepfather
16. my apartment
17. the food that I eat
18. my car
19. my clothes
20. being able to see
21. being able to walk
22. laughing everyday
23. trusting the people in my life
24. the money I have
25. my Aunt Valerie
26. the air that I breathe
27. freedom
28. the ability to want a better life
29. living a great life
30. turning 30 this year!!!!!
This was harder than I thought but I guess that is the reason that the Daily Teachings want you to do it everyday. It is good to see what you are grateful for in front of you and to think about them. Gratitude is very powerful with the law of attraction because I know if you are grateful for what you have in life more will come to you. So, for today I am truly thankful for the amazing family and friends that are in my life! Thank you all for always being there for me in good and bad!

Day 1 of 365 days with The Secret Daily Teachings

2010-01-06T20:53:00.000-05:00

Daily Teachings Day 1
"The Secret contains clear principles on how to live your life in accordance with the natural laws of the Universe, and the most important thing for any person to do is to LIVE IT. You can only become the Master of your life by LIVING IT! As we travel through a year of teachings, the clarity, understanding, and wisdom you will receive every day will help you live the laws that govern human beings, so you may truly become the Master of your life. May the joy be with you." Rhonda Byrne

This is my first day of journaling through the journey that is to come! I'm excited to share this experience because The Secret has taught me so much and helps me grow each day to become a better person. Turning 30 years old could be a scary thing but hopefully with the help of The Secret, 30 will bring abundance into my life!

As for today's Daily Teaching, I should be grateful that I am alive! Just earlier I was on the telephone with my sister, complaining that I am turning 30 this year! Well, she basically refused to listen to me. She immediately told me that I should be grateful I'm alive and there are people out there dying! She went on to say that I should celebrate and be happy that I'm going to be 30! She made me think about it and she is right! Why should I complain, when I have a good life. Then I turned to the 1st day of The Daily Teaching and even Rhonda Byrne is telling me to live life. If this isn't the law of attraction I just don't know what is! For many years I really wasn't living my life. I was, like many other women, worrying about what other people thought or, how other people treated me. Well, today's the day, the day my life will change for the better - the day I begin living life, and this one is for my sister, Kimberly. Thanks Kim for the harsh wake up call!
