Rhonda Byrnes Helps Us Get The Magic Back Into Our Lives
I’ve been inspired by Rhonda Byrne’s writings since The Secret. I love her teachings because
the practices are truly self-centered. You don’t have to have any special tools
or privilege to access this information. And it’s based on the simple Law of Attraction,
like attracts like. You attract what you focus on. By focusing on the positive,
we bring more positive and good to our lives. Because we are changing our
vibration….we let go of the negative, fear, anger and surround ourselves with
the light of love and abundance.
Long ago we were taught that God promised us our heart’s
desire if we ask and believe. But more than likely our good God-fearing, bible-toting
caregivers, teachers and the media infused our life with fear and doubt. Fear
of doing wrong, the troubles we’d see if we didn’t go a certain path, how there
are so many bad hateful people we have to be weary, always looking over our
shoulder. We grow to dread late night phone calls because it was inevitably bad
news. Why couldn't it be someone in another time zone sharing a good fortune or
inviting us on an all expense paid vacation? We fear the dark; fear change, even
the unfamiliar… Life is a struggle. Women of color can only do so much. There
is never enough money. Men are low down dirty dogs not to be trusted. Guard
your heart. You’ll never make money as a dancer, writer, or actress so get
those dreams out of your head and get one of those good government jobs. Don’t
expect too much out of life and you won’t be disappointed. But I thought you
said I can be anything I want, I can have my heart desires if I’m good. Well,
why would God give me these desires if I’m not supposed to want them?
Yes, most of us were
required to go to church every Sunday, perhaps bible class on Wednesdays and Vacation
Bible School during the summers, but they were counteracting all that good with
steadily focusing on the negative in the world. And for whatever reason most of
us soak up all that fear, belief in lack and anger and carry it through life. We
grew angry with God, the bible and church because we just went with what was
taught instead of seeking our own interpretations of God’s word. So now, in
order to live a life of abundance, it is
our mission to get back to our right minds. Return to the way of thinking that
assures me I am a Child of the Most High, a Queen and everything I touch turns to
gold or platinum.
“I discovered a secret about life, and as a result of my
discovery one of the things I began to do was practice gratitude each day. As a
result of this, everything in my life changed, and the more I practiced, the
more miraculous were the results. My life truly became magical,” explains Byrne
in her book, The Magic.
“There is an
exquisite feeling many of us had as children, that everything is good, that
every day promises more excitement and adventure and nothing could ever thwart
our joy for the magic of it all. But
somehow as we grew into adults, responsibilities, problems and difficulties
took their toll on us, we became disillusioned and the magic we once believed
in as children faded and disappeared.
“I am here to tell you that the magic you once believed in
is true, and it’s the disillusioned adult perspective of life that is false. The
magic of life is real and it’s as real as you are.
“In fact, life can be far more wondrous than you ever
thought it was as a child, and more breathtaking, awe-inspiring, and exciting
than anything you’ve seen before. When
you know what to do to bring forth the magic, you will live the life of your dreams.
The book features twenty eight practices that teach how to
use gratitude’s power to revolutionize your health, money, job and
relationships and to make your smallest desires and your biggest dreams come
true. It also claims to also teach how to practice gratitude to dissolve
problems and transform any negative situation. There are practices like The
Magic Check (remember the infamous check Jim Carey wrote to himself which made
him a millionaire), Make All Your Wishes Come True, Magically Heal Relationships,
Magically Transform Mistakes Into Blessings and so much more.
The practices are designed to be completed consecutively, allowing
you to make gratitude a habit and a new way of life.
The first twelve practices use the magical power of
gratitude for what you have now and for what you’ve received in the past,
because unless you’re grateful for what you have, and what you’ve received, the
magic won’t work. These practices are said will set the magic of gratitude into
motion immediately.
The next ten practices use the magical power of gratitude
for your desires and dreams.
In the last six practices, you learn how to use gratitude’s
magical power to help others, dissolve problems, and improve any negative
situation or circumstance you may encounter throughout your life.
I have a lot of built up resistance so although I’ve been
seeing the magic, I’ve not become a master magician in 28 days. Due to my
current state of consciousness, I was unable to do some of the practices so I
would skip to one more to my level of comfort. However I have remained
consistent to Counting My Blessings, the first practice taught, every day for
the past few months, and I have seen changes in my life.
My life is still not all cocktails and cupcakes but I feel
more hopeful and happy. The fog is lifting. And I am able to really get joy from
things once taken for granted.
So yes, I recommend adding The Magic to your arsenal of positive literature. Join me in becoming
a master magician of life.
Luv,
La
