"The concept says that the energy you put into the world, both good and bad, is exactly what comes back to you. This means you create the circumstances of your life with the choices you make every day."

Interesting...

Shall we name her captain obvious now or make fun of her for taking this long to figure it out?

I liked this idea the first time I heard it when it was called Karma.

Shhh! You are ruining it for the morons. They want some magic bullet to fix all of their problems.

I guess you weren't on SomethingAwful then. Good God, the users there are so sure of themselves and stuck-up (yeah I'm one of them but I just lurk and laugh mostly) and almost all of them had something egotistical to say about this whole Secret thing with Oprah. I admit I saw it on Amazon during the holidays and it "intrigued me" but ultimately I dismissed it thinking it would be on YouTube eventually.

last time i checked, opposites attract, not sames.

saw this video last weekend, and while I don't disagree entirely with the concepts they present... I think it's cleverly marketed to people who don't have any self esteem.

A co-worker was talking to me about this book this morning. After she told me what the book was about, we both concluded that it was full of common sense that we don't need to buy to pad the authors' wallets.

what book? is it the one written by that doctor who put his patient under hypnosis and she rembered back 4,000 years and knew things about the doctor that nobody but him knew? if so i want to read that book too, but just can never catch the name when i hear Opra talking about it on XM.

We should have a pool on WHEN you fall asleep. I've got dibs on 8 minutes (including opening credits).
