While I am definitely a fan of the movie and book of the same title, this is not going to be a rehash of the Law of Attraction. For me, this particular secret is even more powerful because it involves one overriding principle that, when understood, can mean the difference between claiming your own personal power or letting it go. The secret is simple. Your life is all about you! It sounds rather selfish and self-centered, but let me explain.
We have been conditioned to believe our lives are dependent on what we can do for something besides ourselves. The focus could be God or family or friends or your country or the world or many other things. Regardless of the focus, believing we should devote ourselves to something outside ourselves is all that is needed to convince people to give up their personal power. Your life becomes dependent on listening to what the needs of others are and following those leads.
When we look to find meaning outside ourselves we are not consulting our hearts. We are not consulting Oneness. We are not attempting to find the answers in the one place that actually holds all the answers!!! It then becomes easy for people who collect power to convince you to hand your power over to them because they, of course, are working for the exact focus of your life! They know what you should do and will even be happy to help you do it!!!
The fact of the matter is, consulting your heart first and foremost cannot possibly be selfish or self-centered because your heart takes the big picture into account and works for the good of the whole. Living from the heart is not about ego. It's about allowing the world to flow naturally and asking your heart to show you all those places you fit into it.
We are not here to teach or show people how to live. We are not here to fix what is broken in them. That is their job. They are here to have their own learning experiences, just as we are here to have our own. Your life is all about you! Appreciate the opportunities for growth you have been given as you journey through this life. Be willing to take responsibility for it!!!
