I've been reading "The Secret" lately. I like what it has to say about how each of us is responsible for creating our own lives and everyone can indeed have EVERYTHING they want. We don't need to feel guilty or as though there is a limited amount of happiness. Perfect lives are a limitless supply and all we have to do is be creative and positive to make them a reality. It's all about being grateful, and living as though you already possess the life you want.
It's discouraging sometimes though because when you adopt some new way of thinking like this, you anxiously anticipate the positive results and become discouraged when you don't get instant gratification. But, I'd be lying if I didn't say I've gotten some pretty good results already. (Maybe not EVERYTHING I wanted, but that probably requires more patience.)
I find that this philosophy goes fittingly with my favorite quote and personal mantra:
"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams; Live the life you have imagined." - Henry David Thoreau

Read "The Secret". I don't intend to throw away all my beliefs because of one book phenomenon, but it was definitley something that made me think and has had a positive influence on my life. I had no idea how often I dwelled on negative emotions and obsessed about everything I DIDN'T want in life until I read it.
