What I’m Reading Now: The Secret by Rhonda Byrne
I loved this book, but then I love all self-help books. I think that the message of this book, You are what you think, or to get Biblical, ” You reap what you sow” is such a basic, but forgotten law of life. I realize now that I always thought that I shouldn’t be in the way, so I never stood out. I had so many doubts on my last job, so I doubted myself out of a job. I now realize that what I think about myself determines what happens to me. Of course, bad things will happen no matter what, but how I deal with the bad things in my life will really matter more. Just being grateful for what I have now will lead to me getting more blessings. Some of the ideas in the book are a bit much ( Don’t look at fat people in order to lose weight? Oh come on.) But overall, the good messages of the book ( Follow your bliss and give in order to get) make The Secret a good read.
