I haven't read this book till now! But I have the full HD Video of the entire film stored on my laptop, and have watched it many times. While watching it for the first time, I was really curious to know'the secret' of being successful.(Not that I wanted to'know' the secrets of success, I was more interested in analyzing the author's theory and comparing it with theories from other authors that I had read in the past).
So the mantras of achieving success, according to Rhonda Byrne, are summarized below -:
#1 Focus on what you want in life, instead of focusing on the lack of it, or on the obstacles.
#2 Visualize the life that you want, i-e, focus on the desired positive goal/situation. For example, to attain financial prosperity, visualize, act and be in a state of mind that you would have if you already were wealthy, instead of saying to yourself, "Oh I am so poor", "I don't any money" etc. This is because if you focus your energy on negative and pessimistic thoughts then those thoughts become stronger and dominant that means that you start attracting those kind of events, circumstances and people in your life.
[One interesting, original, high school style'definition' from me on this topic(just for fun:)) -:
One can say that there is a'Law Of Survival Of Thoughts' which can be stated as follows - "The most'influential' thoughts, whether positive or negative, prevalent in one's subconscious mind, tend to justify and sustain their existence by trying to attract situations in one's real life that would vindicate the existence of those thoughts. This process continues until the external reality is in emotional equilibrium with your inner thoughts."]
#3 Be optimistic.
#4 Be in a state of mind to "receive" the desired outcome.
#5 Just like it takes time for the plant to grow after sowing the seed, similarly it takes time to manifest desires and thoughts into reality, and hence one must be patient during this "growth" process, because there may be a period where you see no tangible progress or results, though the process may be gathering pace "under the hood".
#6 Create a collection of pictures of the goals in your life. For instance, if you want to buy a new house, make a collection of pictures of houses that match your desired parameters, and meditate on those pictures regularly to "reinforce" your thoughts.
#7 Believe and understand the "Law Of Attraction".
#8 Be happy and feel good so that you will attract the situations, events and people in life that will enable you "to continue to remain happy". For, if you focus your energy on being frustrated about the present situation, feeling bad about the current circumstances/people, then you will continue to attract similar events and people around you that are in harmony with your(negative) thoughts.
