People living horrible, mal-fortuned lives, will laugh at the idea. I know people that are incredibly happy, and positive, yet experience mal-fortunes on a daily basis. |
See what I mean? Major misunderstandings .... I see about seven or eight different ones in that one paragraph alone.
Here's one for you to chew on, Rosie. Knowing the secret is not the same as being able to apply it. That's because knowing that you should change certain thoughts is quite different from actually being able to change them. For example, you may have certain deeply ingrained repetitive patterns of thought that regularly cause you to stick a cigarette in your mouth. Or drink yourself silly. Or go into a blind panic when you see a little spider.
You may know that you should change those patterns of thought. But actually being able to change them is another question altogether. In fact you have such ingrained patterns of thought for all areas of your life. The bulk of them you will not even be conscious of, because, well, they are in your unconscious and subconscious. Refer to Sigmund Freud's iceberg model of human consciousness.
Point is that watching the DVD probably isn't going to allow you to transform your life overnight. You can't change those thoughts that you don't know you have, and even when you know what thoughts you have, you may not be able to change them anyway.
