There is a Higher order at work in our world and we are a part of that. The principles introduced in the Secret, along with the many books on the subject, including mine, have helped millions of people learn to lead a better life.
Here’s the giveaway in Mr. Watkin’s rant:
“As I squeezed an endless stream of new self-help books onto shelf after shelf at the bookstore and watched the sales they generated, I realized just how many publishers and self-appointed gurus are making their fortunes serving up nothing more than snake oil to a ravenous public.”
If he were to actually read some of these books perhaps he would be less angry and resentful toward those of us who have chosen to take responsibility for our lives and have taken the time to learn the not-so-secret steps to creating the life we were born to live.
He points to Jack Canfield and Bob Proctor, men who, for decades, have dedicated their lives to the betterment of humanity.
I find it interesting that virtually every successful person reads self-help books while the people who are complaining about their lives do not. This is hardly a cosmic coincidence.
In delivering volunteer workshops for low income people, ranging from welfare recipients to prison inmates, I hear one thing over and over - “it’s not my fault.”
If we in America begin taking responsibility for our lives rather than pointing to “the luck of the draw,” we would all be living a better life.
