I did love 'the secret' and I do agree that the comment that the movie is too lofty is a bit harsh and not entirley deserved. However the gold lies in the thinking about things and as long as talking about it gets us closer to how to deal with vision and action and receiving I don't think in the great scheme of things it matters...as long as they are getting us thinking and that they all do and so did you, thanks....

That we are having these conversations however is just great in itself, we will get the balance right one day...vision and action....,this could be heaven' as Freddy Mercury sings....

Sure there are some people on there that speak just about "Positive Thinking", but there are plenty who talk about taking action and following through (Jack Canfield) for instance. The reality of course is that you need both, right thinking AND right action. Which would be the point of Robert's Japanese Proverb I guess ;).

A friend was just saying this very thing about The Secret. That, while it gives you a reminder in positive thinking, it doesn't give you tools to actually create your dream so this is a good, solid addition to The Secret's lofty approach. Of course, it begs another quote, this time a Japanese Proverb: Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare. Great post, Wilma.
