Planning for Abundance

So a few years back many may remember the "almighty" Oprah introducing to the world the book "The Secret".
So much hype so I read it.
Who are we kidding... I hate reading.... so I got the video.
Kinda spacey but the concepts were intriguing!
Bascially, how we truely think about things is what we bring into our lives. Even if we say we "want" something in our lives yet we deep down truely believe we will never attain it - then we will always be struggling to attain it.
So it is a simple matter of changing our beliefs and thoughts that we put into the world (yea - actually not so easy).
But the thing about this book despite causing such a frenzy - is that - it never told you how to change that thinking that we already have so that we can start attracting the things we really want into our lives.

Anyhow, from there, for a bit I was testing it out and learning a bit of the concepts. Even talking to a good friend that had read more practical books on the concept with actual ' how to' methods. Apparently this "new " idea has been around for a long time and was a secret to only those that were actually successful in life.....

I thought about this today  because I stumbled upon one of the links on my "favorites" list on my work pc : Abundance Journal link.I forgot about this link.
I'm not sure if the author is someone formally educated in this matter or simply someones personal journal.....
Anyhoot, since Im in one of my many crazy "planning" modes - I should revisit this topic  --- here I go again! :-)
