Expect vs. Detach - Approach to Desires - From "The Secret" and Others

BlueButterfly's picture

Why do some success coaches, Secret teachers, self-help gurus, and the like, say to EXPECT YOUR DESIRE without a doubt, while others say to DESIRE WITH DETACHMENT - desire without need?  Many of the teachers of "The Secret" say to expect your desire with unwavering faith, while other self-help and spiritual masters like Deepak Chopra and Wayne Dyer say to desire with detachment, intend without needing.  It's just two different ways of looking at or doing virtually the same thing and getting similiar, if not equal, results.

You'll See It When You Believe It - Not the Other Way Around

HappyOne's picture

Successful New York Times Best Selling Author, Wayne Dyer, has a book titled, "You'll See It When You Believe It," published years ago.  Although it was written quite some time before "The Secret" or "What the Bleep Do We Know!?" ever came out, it supports and discusses a lot of the same concepts.  The main idea is, "You'll see it when you believe it," and not the other way around as is commonly heard, "I'll believe it when I see it!"  In other words,if you don't believe something is possible first, you won't be able to see it or recognize it.  read more »

What is Positive Thinking?

Positive Thinking simply means to think about what you want throughout the day and avoid thinking about what you don't want.  For example, if I want to get hired for a new job I just interviewed for, I would think to myself things like "I am going to get that job," "They are going to hire me," "They totally want me for the job," "I'm the best applicant they had," etc.  read more »

"Your Best Life Now," by Joel Osteen - Book Review

BlueButterfly's picture

Although I do not subscribe to a particular religion, and Joel Osteen writes from the Christian perspective, his book "Your Best Life Now" supports many of the same concepts and beliefs that I believe and that are shared in "The Secret."  It's a positive, uplifting, and inspiring book that I am able to reread any section of again when I've had a rough day and I want to boost my spirits.  Although I wanted to read it end to end without putting it down once I started it, the material, like in "The Secret" is so powerful that you really just need to read a chapter at a time and let it all sink in slowly, then reread as you like!  If you're open to "The Secret" or "What the Bleep Do We Know!?" you will probably enjoy reading "Your Best Life Now" by Joel Osteen, and certainly if you are interested in the Christian religion you will enjoy it without a doubt!

You Get What You Expect, Good or Bad, So Start Expecting Good Things

BlueButterfly's picture

How many times have you had the experience of getting something you "just knew would happen?"  It usually happens with the things we focus on a lot - whether we want it or not.  When you say to yourself over and over again in the morning, "I don't want to be late" - you're usually late!  And you're expecting to be late.  If you don't want to be late, just say "I want to be on time" - this will keep you more relaxed and more likely to be on time!  When you repeat anything to yourself over and over, it slips into your subconscious mind an  read more »
