The Secret Summary and Review by Rhonda Byrne

The Secret Key Idea #3: There are three steps to creating the universe you want to live in.

Your thoughts function like a TV transmission tower, broadcasting your every request to the universe. This simply means that if you don’t like what it is you’re receiving, you simply need to change your frequency! Or, another way to look at it is to picture your thoughts as seeds. The more positive thoughts you plant, the more positivity will grow in your life. In both scenarios, the message is the same: you are the creator of your universe, and you’ll be able to create the world and life that you want with three simple steps: The first step is to ask. Make sure that you’re clear about what you want and desire. The most effective method for ensuring that the universe knows what you want is to write down what you want according to a specific structure. Use the present tense and ask with gratitude, as if it’s already yours, like so: “I am grateful to have [insert your desire here].” It can be an experience, such as, “I am grateful to have a healthy mind and body.” Or perhaps, your wish may be a specific product or person – “I am grateful to own a new car,” or, “I am grateful to have a partner who treats me like an equal.” Picture asking the universe for what you desire as if you’re placing an order from the catalog of the universe. The next step is to believe. You have to approach your desire with unwavering faith, radiating confidence from that faith, which will allow the universe to receive the strongest possible signal. The final step is to receive. Receiving also has to do with sending out the right frequency through imagining the emotions you’ll experience once you do finally get what it is you desire. You could use a mantra to help simulate that feeling and repeat, “I am receiving now. I am receiving all the good in my life now. I am receiving [insert your desire here] now.” Through asking, believing, and then receiving, you’ll be able to create a positive environment through which achieving what you truly want will become possible.
