"The Secret" is stupid - from Law Student Sean Kim

by Sean Kim
(Sydney Australia)

The theory of "the Secret" is nonsensical, unreasonable, absurd, illogical, delusional and down right silly on par with blind faith.
"The Secret" and its alike theories are nothing but a hype and scam.




I am a very spiritual and philosophical person with a long enough life experience to be able to distinguish between a fact and a lie, and between wisdom and stupidity.

I am currently studying law, and I have learned to think logically and reasonably.

I have less than a week left to my Law exam. Do you really think that I will pass it by sitting here and having attractive thoughts of passing it? Not in your wildest dreams.

You can spend as much time as you want thinking and picturing yourself passing it, but the truth is, you never will.

The problem with Secret theory is that it leads people to believe that success is almost all about "positive thoughts, positive thinking and positive will". My life experience, let alone common sense, tells me that Nothing can be further from the truth.

I will never pass my Law Exam by simply wishing it. It takes more than a mere wish.

Of course it starts with "believing that I can pass it". I need a strong belief, faith and conviction to even do anything about it.

But more important than that is "actually working for it and making endless efforts".

The reality is very simple.

If you want to achieve something, you have to earn it.

You have to not only wish for it, but have to put in all the hard work and efforts to make it happen.

In conclusion, achieving success is possible only by undying faith and endless effort.

The Secret undermines the importance of "making efforts" by saying if you just think about it, it will happen naturally and automatically by the law of attraction.

You don't have to study Law like me to know that is pure stupidity.

Having Faith different than Believing? NEW
by: Natalie

Sean,
Wow! Those are some pretty strong feelings. I happen to agree in general that The Secret is misleading. But you talk about being spiritual and having faith. Is that not similar to believing in the Law of Attraction?
