A couple of days ago, I went over a friends' house because I haven't seen them for a very long time…When I got myself into the living room, I stood there for a second, trying to absorb what exactly was happening… Instead of taking my part in the "Play Station" game they were discovering, or the cards' game they were playing or watching them dancing like psychos –as usual-, I saw everybody staring at the TV screen, watching a previously recorded episode of Oprah's Show!!! For a second, I thought that everybody was taken over by an evil spirit or something, as I have never seen them so interested in shows like that…I didn't know why everybody were so focused on what has been said until I took my place and started watching myself… Oprah has gathered numerous of guests, who are experienced in something called "The Secret"… "The Secret" they were talking about, was the secret that helps you lead a successful life, or in other words, the life that we have always wanted and desired, by controlling your thoughts and ideas in a positive way that forces the worlds' positive energy to reply back…Based on a scientific evidence, which says that we are all made of energy and everything else in this world, the followers of such a principle takes it as a justification to their claims they were presenting…Unless you have good thoughts about yourself, the world will be harsh, since the positive energy interacts only with the positive energy... From my point of view, I was so surprised that well-educated people –like my friends- started to soak up such a philosophy… WHY??? You may ask…well…I have given it a thought, and this is what I came up with: Opportunities…chances…any event that someone might face during his journey is a fact, and has nothing to do with energy…positive or negative…Such events are made of the interactions that happens between different people and the choices that were made…The difference that happens here, which makes a successful person and a lousy one, is based on their personalities and their self-image as well… To make myself clearer…I have always imagined the personality and the self-image as a pumping system attached to a Sifter… Strong, well-determinant personalities always pump in opportunities…They know what they want, what they are looking for…what they need…They "sniff" what makes them grow…The sifter they have will filtrate those chances that only suites them best according to their self-image…If they "see" themselves as manipulators, they will take the choices that fits best that category…if they "see" themselves as decent people, they will take the choices that guarantee that category… As for the lousy personalities, they will suck in nothing…because they are so scared to take steps forward, and so their adoption to change won't exist, unless they learn how to have control over their life and the choices they make… For me, and from what I have said above, I can safely say that "The Secret" is nothing but the ability of the human being to make choices…The ability to take a step forward…to be adventurous…and to know how to take the good events along with the bad in order to grow tougher and wiser… After all, I guess they named it "The Secret" only to add suspense and anticipation to the story, because the human nature is always "allergic" to anonymity and mystery…

And thank you for welcoming me here :)
Actually, I have chosen Jeeran after going through your blog, I felt the warm environment, and so I have decided to give it a try :)
Back to your comment, you just nailed it!!! I mean, when you have said that grapping an opportunity which really matches our dreams in order to save every single bound of energy we have to help us get what we want was so RIGHT!!! I mean, people sometimes run after thousands of things they want which make them loose control over their powers...Taking baby steps is sometimes the key...
Again, thank you for reading my post and for your great comment...

Hi there ,
I see another Lady Writer here?? Lol. Thank you for choosing Jeeran as blog ground.
Now to your post: Actually I agree with you, we make choices and get outputs ... etc . Sometimes we do well and sometimes we pay for our mistakes provided that life is a whirl that keeps turning .. Failures teach a lot but they never break us down as they say because it's never too late to stand up again and do it right. Actually life is never ok to be thought of as a race , it's what we want to be , right ?
I never found ears in me for positive or negative energy as they say (ma3lesh Wonders , we look at it from different perspectives but both approaches work i believe!).. I think the most important thing is to grab an opportunity which really matches our hopes and ambitions in order to save every single bound of energy we have to help us get what we want. When we like something we go serious and work full throttle to get it, we even enjoy the downs more than the ups as we go chase dreams or hopes :)
