4. Bad Things Still Happen to Good People

The basic premise of the book cannot and does not explain away all actions in the universe with the painting of their Law of Attraction broad brush. It does little to deviate from that stance and offers only snippets of the fact that there is MUCH MORE TO IT then this complex concept, made simple—which there is. I'm aware that, in theory here, all other laws emanate from this one. I'm also aware they want the reader to at least begin to "get it" and the presentation succeeds beautifully and on a grand scale when it comes to supporting this cause. But one needs to know that in keeping with this law that good and harmony and evil and disharmony are synonymous. We human beings still have a personal basis of judging good and evil and many of us are perhaps not evolved enough to fully adopt the impersonal as our guide. When bad things happen to good people we struggle with an explanation that will make sense. That's just the way it is.

5. Only One Piece of a Bigger Puzzle

The Law of Attraction is not all there is to the puzzle of life. There are other laws that work in conjunction with this one waiting patiently in the wings to be revealed; I'm sure at a future date. A segment of the followers of this book will not have the tools to put their new-found miracle message into motion. Their expectations will not jive with their reality. They may end up disappointed and disillusioned and in worse shape than they were prior to learning about The Secret. I hope not. I would have preferred it if the author and the self-help gurus were more forthright and less secretive about the other 'secrets' yet to come. (Feels a little too much like manipulation and makes one question if marketing genius trumps the pure motives that may actually exist.) When they do come out with Secret #2, and they refer to the law of action and motion, you can say you read it first, right here!

6. Thought Without the Right Action Falls Short

All the wonderful, positive thoughts in the world are still just thoughts until you take them to the next level. That level is the level of action. I can speak from experience on this one in a big way. I've had my very own book as a positive thought in my mind for a long time. I was attracted to the concept and of the idea that I could help others. Then, my efforts shifted and focused on the actual writing of the book. After that, I put it aside. I just wasn't ready to take action. I just wasn't ready to take it to the next level. As time passed, and I grew in mind and spirit, it occurred to me I was finally ready to bring that book to life. I could only help folks with the message in the book if I took action. And so I did. Now the book is a reality, and what started as an idea, evolved into an actual finished product, that took a great deal of energy, effort, and action. My next step is getting it into the hands of faithful readers like you. All of these actions are the right actions. I know because I did them, and I already feel the intrinsic reward for having done so. It is all worth it. The same can be true for whatever you aspire to in your own life. Yes, conceive it. Attract all the positive energy the universe and The Secret has to offer. Yes, believe it. Suck every ounce of can-do thoughts out of the sea of can-do thoughts. Then, receive it. Release that energy and those can-do thoughts back into the universe and make it happen. It's the right action applied diligently and whole heartedly to those inspiring and uplifting thoughts that makes you a giver rather than a taker. When you become the contributor you are meant to be then everyone and everything on the ladder of the life rises up a higher notch right along with you.
