(In case anybody’s still reading this blog \ud83d\ude42 I just posted this on my main blog and thought I’d post it here too…)<\/p>\n

I think the movie The Secret<\/a><\/i> is about to hit its tipping point. On Thursday Oprah Winfrey’s show will be all about that movie — or more specifically the topic of the movie which is the law of attraction<\/a>. That law basically states that “whatever you focus on you get more of.” I saw the movie back in August<\/a> after seeing a mention on another trader’s blog. What was most interesting about it is that it was nothing new. The movie crystallized concepts that I’ve read and heard about over the years.<\/p>\n

One thing that really stood out to me was that focusing on a negative doesn’t work. A good example of that is when you see a football team with a big lead go into the dreaded<\/a> “prevent defense<\/a>“. Instead of continuing to play to win they start playing not<\/b> to lose. We all know what typically happens next — the team blows the game. <\/p>\n

Anyway, there are tons of applications of the law of attraction in all facets of life. I highly recommend watching the movie and\/or the Oprah show on Thursday. Here’s some stuff to give you a better idea of what to expect:<\/p>\n

The promo from Larry King’s first show on “The Secret”:<\/p>\n

I happened to catch that episode of Larry King live back in October while flipping through channels in a hotel room. (Something I never do at home thanks to TiVo.) The show got such a good response that Larry did a second Law of Attraction show:<\/p>\n

It seems that about half of the movie is available on YouTube<\/a> but you can stream the whole thing from the official website<\/a> for about $5. I streamed it to my laptop and even over WiFi and the quality was excellent. I recommend going that route for the first viewing. <\/p>\n

Steve Pavlina has a review of The Secret<\/i><\/a> and a good post about the Law of Attraction<\/a>. And here are 100 quotes from The Secret<\/a><\/i>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
