Wizard Of Wisdom

Theres a book called 'The Secret'. It's been popular worldwide, it has sold millions of CD's of the movie 'The secret' just as well.
Whats wonderful about this book??? It encourages you to believe in your dreams. It ensures you that wanting things is not bad, and best of all, that if you want something bad enough, the entire universe will aid you in getting it.
I saw the movie. I was initially very inspired by it, though I had a slight feeling of 'unreal' nagging me somewhere. I discussed it with someone I knew and was thoroughly ridiculed for liking something like that. Recently a good friend told me she was reading the book and believed i needed to employ the Secret in my life and try to change it positively.
I recently saw the movie 'Guru'. It is based upon a famous Indian industrialist who broke, bended, moulded and recreated all rules of trade for his company to grow, a man who introduced the share market to India, and spearheaded the Indian middle class towards a richer, more productive future. He was Mr. Dhirubhai Ambani. As the movie portrays, he was dragged up against the media, the judiciary and the masses of India on charges of fraud. He listens to all accusations and finally speaks thus in his favour. He says he had come to Mumbai to do business, and he tried going to right way. But he found all doors closed. And ultimately he had no choice but to bang them, sneak inside them through hook or crook or even break them down for his company to grow. He cited the entire country as a partner in his growth, he's met by many of his shareholders who earned from his company and rose out of drudgery. He's appreciated by everyone, including his critics.
Sorry for getting dragged into the spirit of the movie. What am i trying to say here?? That when you truly want something, when you CONVINCINGLY want something, and you go for it, you get it. It's probably the world's most wonderful secret, or maybe the simplest and the most obvious truth. Life's like a test, and God or nature or whatever superpower is sitting up there tests you on just one thing when it comes to giving you what you want, how badly you want it, how CONVINCINGLY do you want it? And to what extents will you go to get it. Try it on the smallest things, or the biggest, it will always work out. Decide, not because you want to try this out, but because you want to, that you will do a particular thing today. And just move on towards it. It will be done and over before you know it.
