It has been over a month since I have had the chance to post. Life has been a bit hectic! Family issues coupled with an intense month of schoolwork caused me to neglect my blogger duties - however, do not fear as I am back!
For those of you not caught up on my life, I have just finished up classes in the post grad public relations program at Humber. I am about to start an internship for May & June at a public relations agency who works with clients in the tech industry. Exciting times!
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of spending Easter weekend with my family and close family friends. My mothers best friend visited us from Ottawa and brought along with her a 2 hour DVD that has changed my perception of life. The Secret.
You can stop rolling your eyes now. I am going to explain why I, the rationale and realistic thinker, recommend viewing this DVD or reading the book upon which it is based.
In a nutshell, The Secret is about how to get the things you want in your life through simply using positive thinking. The idea is that negative thinking hinders you from achieving or receiving items or accomplishments throughout your life.
Now, I realize that it sounds a bit ridiculous to pay $30 to hear a message you think you already know. Everyone can be a positive thinker - but the secret lies in maintaining those positive thoughts. An individual will often think positive but after a few weeks or months, they give up and think negatively about their life. The Secret emphasizes that you can never be negative and must always be positive because as soon as you think negative, you allow negative things to happen to you - you have accepted failure.
Ok - stop rolling your eyes again.
Personally, watching the DVD has opened my eyes to how often I have negative thoughts. Whether it is finishing school or thinking about my future career, I began to notice my self-doubts. Instead of believing and confirming within myself that I will have what I want, I found myself hoping that I would achieve my goals.
Since watching the DVD and considering the message it communicates, I found honestly found myself to be much more optimistic about my future!
I have talked to many people about the DVD - and received allot of flack :) All I ask is that you take about 1 hour and 30 min from your day and consider what the DVD has to say.
If anything, it will inspire you and re-energize you about your life.
