I've decided to join in on Andy Wibbels' The Secret Movie 30 Day Challenge.
First, let me make my 'position' on The Secret clear.
I loath the movie. I feel the movie is way, way to heavy on "Money" and Materialism. And, way to light on meaning and humanity. I've only watched the first 30 minutes but it annoyed the crap out of me. Give me a break: manifesting a bicycle. HA!Oh, and what about all those so-called "philosophers'? RIGHT! Bob Proctor has been hawking motivational concepts since I was a babe. He's a much a philosopher as I am.
Now, my colleague Michael Port sees it a bit differently. Michael, being the marketing guru he is, sees The Secret as a phenomenal marketing story. It IS! That's my freaking point! It's SELLING an idea.
Now, about the idea.
I'm conflicted.
I have had occasions in my life where I set an intention and great things happened. I wrote about this in a recent newsletter. And, my Inner-Polly-Anna would like to believe that all I have to do is ENVISION my DREAMS. And, poof! The Genie, aka The Universe, will deliver!
Sorry, I grew up with strong message about the value of work.
Now, I think work can be easier and more soul fulfilling than my parents envisioned.
But, I really do feel like Julia Cameron who said this about intention, "Pray for the bus. And, the run like hell!"
The forumula is Intention followed by ACTION.
My first action in this blogging adventure for me will be figuring out my intention.
YES, I plan to give this a shot!
After all, the worse thing that could happen is NOTHING!
