Why ‘The Secret’ does not work
by Leslie Fieger
The amazing success of the movie entitled “The Secret” was well deserved. It was well crafted and
well marketed. More importantly, it provided inspiration and insight to many people that were in need
of its message. That core message was, of course, that the Law of Attraction can be used to create
success and happiness.
For many people, perhaps even the majority of viewers, now, after the initial excitement of having
received its message has receded, people are left wondering why The Secret does not work for them.
The many very successful people interviewed in the movie itself proclaimed that it was this Law of
Attraction that worked so exceedingly well in their own favor.
Why, then, does The Secret not work for those millions of others in the face of that believable
testimony??
The reality is that this Law of Attraction is always working (otherwise it would not be true to call it a
Law); and that it does work for everyone all the time. However, awareness of the Law does not
translate to having it work the way you desire it to work or in the way that you visualize it should work.
Why then, you may ask, does it not work the way you want it to work, that is to say, in your favor to
produce the things you desire to have in your life? How can you make it work as well as it has for those
in the movie who proclaimed its wonder? How can you make this Secret work for you?
Here is the simple truth: you are and always have been attracting to you those things that are most like
your own personal energetic or vibratory output. The question then becomes “How can you use your
understanding of this Law of Attraction to attract those things you idealize and desire for yourself?”
A little study and understanding provides the answers. The Law of Attraction, simply explained, is that
like energy is attracted to like energy. It is therefore a simple leap of insight to see that if you wish to
attract those things you desire, you must find a way to harmonize your personal energy with the energy
of the things you wish to attract.
What that means is that you are constantly already enacting the Law of Attraction by the way that you
are being in this world and if you desire to attract different things, then you must find a way to change
the way you are being.
In other words, if you want to have more in life, you must find a way to become more. Another very
succinct way to define the Law of Attraction is by the simple formula of “Be > Do > Have” which
explains that if you wish to Have more (or different), then you must Do more (or different) and in
order to Do more, you must first Become more (or different).
The message in the movie The Secret is that you can become more by learning to think differently, by
learning to visualize an ideal clearly and distinctly, and by attaching profound passion or desire to that
ideal held in mind. Left mostly unsaid is that once you have become more or different in your mind and
heart, then you must act to produce the results. It is action that produces results. Wishful thinking does
not produce results. Visualizing a thing held or possessed does not produce results unless that
visualization inspires you to take action.

Napoleon Hill, famed author of Think and Grow Rich, the book that most self-made millionaires
ascribe to their success, once said “Anyone can wish for riches and most people do, but only a few
know that a definite plan plus a burning desire for wealth are the only dependable means of
accumulating wealth.”
It is the application of knowledge that produces results. Now that you know of The Secret, you must
learn to apply that knowledge. Application means taking action or doingness. Take action.
Create the image in your imagination, attach the passion and design a plan of action and then put that
plan of action into effect and you will soon discover that the Law of Attraction will be The Secret that
works for you as well as it has to those who have proclaimed its value.

to do to create success and happiness, read Your Prosperity Paradigm by Leslie Fieger. In it he explains
the other natural Laws that determine how your reality is formed and how you can enact these eight
Laws to work in your favor.
