The Secret to Success?


Ok, so I probably don't write as much unless I have something bothering me or I've seen something that has inspired me. Today I have an aspiration of some sort. In class today we watched this movie called "The Secret" and as my last blog was about following your dreams this transitions well into that subject. Before the video I can say that I've sort of believed in the concept of visioning the things you want in life will help you achieve them. However my general concept is that you have to work for it and not expect them to come right at you while you sit around waiting for it.

Law of Attraction:
For those of you who have never heard or seen the movie, it is based on a general concept of the "Law of Attraction". If you don't know what that means then check this out: Wiki's definition

Basically what you surround your thinking and everyday life with is how you will live and how the universe will respond to you. Maybe another analogy is you play how you practice. Do you think about your mistakes all the time and dwell upon them or do you move on and become better than you were before? It really has no religious promises or anti-religion practices at all but I think a religion involves these basic concepts too. I believe a lot of us today surround ourselves with negativity and focus on how bad we failed and what we cannot do. I highly disagree with that as I'm a person who likes to surround myself with positive things from my family, friends, and activities I take part in. What is the point of living life around negativity that only makes you feel less appreciated and pointless?

I can honestly say that I like to envision myself in a nice car, nice home, well paying job that I enjoy, with a beaufitul loving wife at home. I feel there is nothing wrong with that all, of course I can't predict the future nor can I make magic but I'd rather focus on what I want than what I don't want, so I won't even mention those. I'm only lost on one thing and thats how it happens, but according to "the secret" it will soon appear to you just keep visioning. So it's a crazy idea but maybe I'll try it out, I mean afterall I do sit back and imagine myself living real nice.

So lets put this to the test, I'm going to list somethings that I want in life. I will visit this blog daily or maybe every other day and look at this list of things. I really have no clue if this is too practical or just right under the secret.

Thousands...No, Millions of Dollars


I want to own a sexy looking black Ferrari


I want to own property like this


I want to own a Lexus IS

Too artificial so far?

A Better Job This Summer

The Woman of My Dreams


A Happy Family


Ok so these are things I think of everyday and I think more can come as time passes but I honestly have no clue who, what, how and where these things will happen but I'll be sure to update this along as it happens no matter how long it takes!

Follow Your Dreams!


Everyday you come across things in life that impact you. There are people out there who have gone through so much and want those to know their story in order to educate and prevent the same from happening. Today a former WWF/WWE superstar by the name of Mark Mero came to my school with his presentation. Mero is a WCW, WWF Intercontinental and New York Golden Glove winner. Before this presentation I never heard of him honestly, and before he was introduced they showed highlights of his wreslting career. The clips went from matches against The Rock, Stone Cold, and Undertaker. Being a big wreslting fan, he was before my wreslting fandom so I figured how I could miss him. Now Mero is a guy who resides here in Orlando, Florida and after retiring and the Chris Beniot tragedy he pledged to go around Central Florida schools and talk to kids about drug abuse, thus how he ended up at my school today.

One thing, or moral that I did get from his presentation is that never to give up on your dreams. It is a common phrase and one that I like to promote as well. People today give up too quick or feel like they can't succeed, which is the wrong mindset. The other thing was writing down what you want to accomplish. Today we have the computer, the internet, and this very own blog site as well, and just like Mark we can write down things wherever we want, so I take this time to write down something that I want to accomplish....

I always have a positive mindset whenever I do something, preparing yourself for success is not just physically but mentally. Things do happen and will throw you off course however be prepared for that in all causes because like I believe, prevention is better than cure. What Mark Mero has done is taken his personal life experiences and his ego/persona to promote his message. Why I value this is because it is something that I secretly would like to do with myself in the near future. Now of course I have never been through the things Mero has been through and I hope that I never have to experience the multiple tragedies that he went through but I'd like to have some kind of impact on the youth in showing them the right way. I feel this can't be done with me just being a regular person, so my mission is to set out and become well known, but become well known for a good reason and I have written this down on physical paper, but I'd like to become a legend.

So my concluding message to all of you, I know these are rough times during the economy and things in your everyday life from your family, hobbies, and school may all be looking bad but I'd like to assure you to believe that there will be a brighter side because there is.
