Well, what can I say? Despite over 30 years of study, I still didn’t “get it” — until I saw and read The Secret.

Yes, I’d studied Law of Attraction ideas for over 30 years. And I thought I pretty much “knew” it all, intellectually. I could make it work, sometimes. But mostly I was still just getting by and stressed. Frustrating — I was supposed to know this stuff. Why wasn’t it working?

I heard about The Secret soon after it came out. At first I thought, whatever, another one of those get-prosperity things that I’d studied for literally decades. And couldn’t make it work. But I got the DVD and book anyway — an inner prompting I guess. Well, let me just say. This time I “got it.”

It was explained in such a way that I found out what I’d been missing. Just in the nick of time – my job had turned into a horror show, including me finding major errors and legal infractions that I had to report. You can imagine how that went over. It took all the new guts and stamina and faith I had in myself. Soon after that, I was “laid off”, right in the midst of the hard economic times. I was over 60 years old, so this was no picnic. I never thought it would happen to me, as they say. But it was great.

Now I knew what I’d been missing before. First, the biggest revelation was – you get what you put your attention on – including what you don’t want. Which is easy to do if you’re right in the midst of it. Wow. That was a real eye opener and no small thing. The huge challenge is, of course, keeping our attention on what we want, despite the outer appearances going on all around us. It takes focus, it’s very hard. And it works.

Second, you also have to really believe you can have and deserve what you want. Third, expect it. Expecting was a missing link for me, but really ramps it up. Why want something you don’t expect? Talk about frustrating oneself. And then, of course, you’ve got to take action steps as they come along. So I focused on: Attention, Believing, and Expecting… no matter what. And it turned my life around. In my 60s. (I finally got past the “Oh, if I’d only known all this when I was younger…”) So I’m now re-creating my life using my experience and interests. I intend to Re-fire not Retire. I’ve created a special business and web site where I can share what I love with others. And I’m bursting with tons of ideas. This is just the beginning.
