My experiments with 'the secret'

Being a bookie i spend hours in the library looking for books with unique and interesting content. One day i stumbled upon 'the secret'. The graphics on the cover and the short summary given at the back of the book was catchy, so i took it home. what i found inside was even catchier. The book revolves around 'The law of attraction' which according to the author is 'like attracts like'. The book asks you to keep your thoughts positive, whatever you are thinking, you are attracting the same into your life. We are like a transmission tower and our thoughts send out signals into the universe and the universe responds eventually by moving men and meterials to bring us what we thought about. The universe is pictured as a genie to whom our every wish is their command.
After going through all the chapters, i decided to give this one a try. The book promises that whatever we wish for will be given to us if we truly beleive that we are going to recieve it. That means, if you are visualising a million dollars and if you truly beleive in it, then the universe will bring it to you. But the book recommends that you start with small and simple things so i started off with 20$ and a new nokia N73 over my old nokia 3100! :D

i did everything the book asked me to(well, i thought i did). i visualized getting a 20$ check and the mobile and started 'feeling good' and i believed i got these things already. I did the same for almost 2 weeks. Then i started to get the feeling that the secret is not working for me. i thought maybe 'the secret' should have remained a secret. i searched the net and i found lots of people who have read 'the secret' and have experienced its magic. Then all of a sudden this thought struck me that my actions are contradictory to what i have wished for! The book says if you wish for a car, then make sure you clean your garage and make space for your new car. Truly believe that you are gonna get it and act as if you have already got it. So i sold off my old nokia 3100, took a new sim card and waited.

I got what i wished for the next week. My uncle came home for the holidays and guess what he brought me...a brand new NOKIA N73!!!! cant say i was surprised when he handed me the instrument 'coz somehow i knew i was gonna get it ;). And about the 20$, i still havent got it, but i know that someday i will. :)
