The Secret.

I've been an avid fan of blog-hopping since I was 14. Somehow, reading about everyone else's life appeals to me in a very interesting manner. So I was extremely intrigued when I first read about how all the famous bloggers are following this book called "The Secret". 

I'll have to say that although the idea of following the book was intriguing, I did not believe in it. I still don't believe in the book. 

What I believe in, however, is that positivity begets positivity. And negativity, of course, brings around more negativity. 

The concept in The Secret is simple. It is to be thankful for what life brings to you and to be happy in order for more happy things to happen to you. 

And I believe in that. 

The reason why I don't believe in The Secret is because The Secret is commercialism and that this concept is not something you need to buy. It is something inbuilt in you that you should try and discover on your own. 

I remember when I was younger, I used to write down in my diary what I would really like to happen. For Crush XXX to talk to me. For myself to get great results. For my mum to get me a new toy. 

I'd write down what I wanted to happen 10 - 50 times, depending on how much I wanted it to happen, on my diary. And most of the time, if I wanted something to happen badly enough, it happens. 

So what I'm saying here is simple. If you want something, you work towards it. There is no Secret to it. You want something bad enough, you end up subconsciously working for it. And this, my dears, is why The Secret seems to work. It's because you believe in something so much that it happens. 

And I believe in hope. Like I've said before and again, hope is something so important and so close to my heart. I believe that in hope, you find life. I believe that if you hope, you achieve. 

If you want something badly enough and if you hope for that something badly enough... No matter how ridiculous that something is, you will get it.
