I am so happy to read 'The Secret'.

It is the first time to read a self-help book written in English.

Among self-help books I have read, it is the best. 

It inspires me so much.

In addition, written English is easy for me to understand.

I would strongly recommend people who are studying English to read it.

I think this book contains all self-help books.

*If you think unkind thoughts about someone else, you will experience those unkind

thoughts manifested. You cannot harm another with your thoughts, you only harm You.

If you think thoughts of love, guess who receives the benefits-you!

So if your predominant state is love, the law of attraction or the law of love responds

with the mightiest force because you are on the highest frequency possible. The

greater the love you feel you and emit, the greater the power you are harnessing.

*Hold an image of talking to an old friend that you haven't seen for a long time. Somehow

or another somebody's going to start talking to you about that person. That person's

going to phone you or you'll get a letter from her.

*Expectation is a powerful attractive force, because it draws things to you.

As Bob Proctor says, "Desire connects you with the thing desired and expectation draws

it into your life. "Expect the things you want, and don't expect the things you

don't want. What do you expect now?

*Decide what you want. Believe you can have it. Believe you deserve it and believe

it's possible for you. And then close your eyes every day for several minutes, and

visualize having what you already want, feeling the feelings of already having it.

Come out of that and focus on what you're grateful for already, and really enjoy it.

Then go into your day and release it to the Universe and trust that the Universe will

figure out how to manifest it.

*To attract money, you must forcus on wealth. It is impossible to bring more money into

your life when you are noticing you do not have enough, because that means you are

thinking thoughts that you do not have enough. Focus on not enough money, and you

will creat untold more circumstances of not having enough money. You must focus

on the abundance of money to bring that to you.

*Giving is powerful action to bring more money into your life, because when you are

giving you are saying, "I have plenty." It will not be surpring to you to learn that the

wealthiest people on the planet are the greatest philanthropists. 

*The good news is that the moment you decide that what you know is more important

than what you have been taught to believe, you will have shifted gears in your quest

for abundance. Success comes from within, not from without.

*You deserve every good thing you want, and the Universe will give you every good

thins you want, but you have to summon it into your life. Now you know The Secret.

You have the key. The key is your thoughts and feelings, and you have been holding

the key in your hand all of your life.

*You cannot help the world by focusing on the negative things. As you focus on the

world's negative events, you not only add to them, but you also bring more negative 

things into your own life.

Instead of focusing on the world's problems, give your attention and energy to trust, love,

abundance, education, and peace.
