In the last couple of days "The Secret" star Bob Doyle has produced a short video answering recent criticism about the move The Secret and some of its supposed claims.
You can watch his video response here.\
In other news it sounds like Paris Hilton has found religion, or at least The Secret. She has been seen reading the popular book by author Rhonda Byrne.
Phew....I sound like people magazine now.

Bob Doyle Defends The Secret

THE BRICK
A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no children appeared. Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag's side door!
He slammed on the brakes and backed the Jag back to the spot where the brick had been thrown The angry driver then jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car shouting,
"What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing? That's a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why did you do it?"
The young boy was apologetic.
"Please, mister...please, I'm sorry but I didn't know what else to do," He pleaded. "I threw the brick because no one else would stop...." With tears dripping down his face and off his chin, the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car. "It's my brother, "he said "He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up."
Now sobbing, the boy asked the stunned executive, "Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me."
Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He hurriedly lifted the handicapped boy back into the wheelchair, then took out a linen Handkerchief and dabbed at the fresh scrapes and cuts. A quick look told him everything was going to be okay.
"Thank you and may God bless you," the grateful child told the stranger. Too shook up for words, the man simply watched the boy push his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home.
It was a long, slow walk back to the Jaguar. The damage was very noticeable, but the driver never bothered to repair the dented side door. He kept the dent there to remind him of this message:
"Don't go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention!"
God whispers in our souls and speaks to our hearts. Sometimes when we don't have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at us. It's our choice to listen or not.
Thought for the Day:
If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.
If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it.
He sends you flowers every spring.
He sends you a sunrise every morning Face it, friend - He is crazy about you!
God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow,sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.
Read this line very slowly and let it sink in....
If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

I'm Alive
I know, I know, I know - I haven't posted since February 8th. I was being kept really busy from first light to last dark with my regular employer along with my evening and weekend real estate activity. To be honest I didn't think anyone would notice but thank you all that did.
I am alive, in fact thriving not surviving but just so busy I have not had a moment to update my blog. It's a poor excuse I know but it's a really good busy. The kind that dreams are made of.
My thanks to all those friends of mine who emailed me concerned that I had disappeared and a big thank you too to Debra who left me a comment asking where I was. Your concern is very touching.
I will be back with some regularity shortly and have so many things to share with you all. For now though I must rush back to my busy and wish you love and abundance in your lives.
You deserve it because you chose it.

Nonetheless, their successful partnership has spawned many other titles that have made them enormously famous.
Canfield has appeared on numerous television shows, including Good Morning America, 20/20, Eye to Eye, CNN’s Talk Back Live, PBS and the BBC. Today, he speaks shares his success strategies with companies and associations worldwide.

Dr. Michael Beckwith’s life is a living testament to building spiritual community.

It's all about me
It really is. I choose everything that happens to me, everything I happen to and I choose all I receive and all I give. Most importantly I choose what I deserve and I deserve everything because I am alive.
I woke up this morning in a funk. I don't know why. I chose to have a great day like I have been this last couple of weeks but I had a knot in my stomach. I didn't know what I was going to do today. I didn't know what to write about here. I was kind of lost.

Get Out Of the Way
Have you ever thought about what might be standing in the way of you achieving your dreams and goals? Who is to blame? What is preventing your success? Whose fault is it?
I have the answer and you might not like it, It's YOU!
More precisely it is your ego. The conscious, common sense part of you that controls all your rational thoughts. It doesn't like the idea of change, it likes things just the way they are. Of course it would, it helped create them and now it controls them.
Any limitations you feel you have are put there by your ego to keep things the same. If your ego could just be silenced for a short while why you experience a universe without limitations you would achieve anything you require. So how do you do that?
Get out of your own way. Get you and your ego out of the way. Ask for whatever it is that you require and then Get out of the way. Don't rationalize it just get out of the way and take your ego with you.
You will achieve everything you set out to.
There is a fantastic set of lessons, meditations and reading material on ego management on the Six Figures program.
Do you want, require, desire, dream about earning six figures? Would you like that within the next 365 days. Six Figures In less than a Year? Then learn how to get out of your own way and let the universe deliver for you. It will be the wisest and best purchase you could possibly make. In fact I would call it an investment in yourself. You'll know it works when your new six figure income pays for that investment in just one pay check.
For the record - I'm a simple man without a college degree, I left school at 16 years old and I earn six figures.
Can it be done? Yes, it can. I am proof. Now go and register, intend your new six figure income and then get out of your own way.

Have a great day.
