I watched The Secret with my Honeybunny and he said he’d run across the same stuff a few years ago.  You won’t believe where - Dilbert Future.  In the final chapter, Scott Adams gets into the science of The Law of Attraction and says that this is how he achieved his meteoric success in becoming a syndicated columnist among other things.  Crazy huh?  

I was on the Lululemon site the other day browsing their spring clothes and I notice they attribute the principles of The Secret to their crazy success too.

Anyways, back to Dilbert.  One aspect Adams differs on is writing affirmations.  He also says it doesn’t matter whether you believe them or not.  He says you don’t have to buy into the process or believe anything you’re affirming will materialize.  Simply write it down, like it’s happening, like you’ve got it, 15 times a day.

The Secret says you need to believe it and feel it. 

I’m thrilled that Scott Adams says you don’t need to believe it, because sometimes I have a hard time *not* having doubts.  But I think the believing and feeling has gotta help.  I love the Lisa Nichols bit in The Secret when she says, “I know that I know that I know that I know - it’s already on it’s way!” 

Now Adams on the other hands also says something I love.  Because he doesn’t think you need to believe it, you should attract something totally nutty.  Otherwise how will you know you did the work achieving it?  If it’s a $5 raise, you’ll get it and say, “ah it woulda happened anyways”.

I love that.  It takes the heat off you - you’ve got nothing to lose.
