Value the process, not just the product

Now, I believe there are two parts to the whole Secret thing. Don't just throw yourself into the unknown, thinking positively, wishfully thinking that things will just happen for you; you have to work it out, no one else. So that means getting off your ass and getting out there to make these things happen. You'll gain more than you can imagine when you work hard enough on your goals, whatever they may be. Think about it! Do you let someone in your life do things that you should be doing? hmm? Tell me, what do you gain from that? Yeah, you get out of doing the work and maybe (but hopefully not) gaining some credit from it. 

So think about something that you worked really hard on. Such as learning the play something on a guitar, or a huge account from your business. How did you feel when you finished something that you worked hard on? Made something from basically out of nothing, using your knowledge and skills? Feels good, doesn't it? Now hold that thought! Hold it for just a second! With that feeling, think about what you did to do whatever it is you did. HOW did you do it?? Did you have an idea that no one else of? Did you use your own two hands? Or did you use your awesome teamwork and leadership skills to get a group together and finish a project? Don't only think about the end product of what you working on, think about how your getting there! There's no better feeling than knowing that you got there, on your own, by yourself. You can only rely on yourself to get to where you are now. Yes, I know there are other people who were there to help you out too, don't forget about them, but it's you who wants this badly enough to work on it . No one is going to do all the work for you. Do it for yourself, knowing that its you who is working for it and once you're there, the place where you want to be, the feeling is tremendous, because you did it, no one else. 

That's what the Secret is all about. Yes, think positively, but the thing is, you can't only rely on the thinking part to get to where you want to go. You have to work on it! So get going. Don't let me hold you up!  :P But reflect on how you got there too. Be proud of how you got that end product and how hard you worked on it. But don't think too hard! Just relax and work on it, you'll get there, Im sure of it! :)

Be simplistic like children are, value the product, but value what skills they gained from working so hard on it! That's what I love about working with children! You make their day by valuing them as an individual, for being unique, and how they are gaining these crucial skills for making their life. I learn something knew every day, when I work with these children; its never a dull moment!
