Here are some of my favorite quotes from the movie “The Secret.”

I just watched it in its entirety the other day and it’s a really helpful film about manifesting intentions in your life.

I had the highest expectations from the movie, given how people were raving about it. I was happy for the most part, although I did want to fast forward through some segments. I didn’t like the overly-simplistic take by some of the resource persons in that movie. It’s almost like they were spouting words out of their ass. I’m not discounting the possibility that I was listening with my ass so consider that a disclaimer.

I loved Esther Hicks, Bob Proctor and Jack “Chicken Soup” Canfield. I didn’t expect to like the Chicken Soup For The Soul guy but he comes across so genuine it’s impossible not to like him. Those three spoke with a lot of clarity and gave very focused ideas. Listening to most of the others was pretty awkward for me. I think they muddled the message more than they added to it.

The stories used to illustrate the concepts were mostly good, especially Jack Canfield’s.

Quote of the Year (LOL!)
“You can cook a man’s dinner with electricity….and you can also cook the man!”
- Bob Proctor

Esther Hicks, hands down, does the best job explaining the concepts in that movie:
“Whatever it is you are feeling is a perfect reflection of what is in the process of becoming.”
- Esther Hicks

This one is the truest statement I heard from the movie. All my ex-girlfriends say the same thing:
“It’s hard to swallow…..”
- Rev. Dr. Michael Beckwith

I know, I know…..

Another classic from Bob Proctor:
“Think of something beautiful…think of a baby…(video of a crying baby shows)…errrr…maybe one you love.”

LOL! I’ve never even read of this guy before. He’s like a skinny Don Rickles! Definitely future reading for me.

When manifesting, one of the things that usually hold me back is asking “How am I gonna achieve this?” and Bob Proctor had a great answer for this:
“You will attract the way.”

Lastly, I loved the segments about resistance. This is an area I’ve been working on lately and I really learned a lot from the movie in this regard.

“When they push against the unwanted, they add power to it.”
- Esther Hicks

“The anti-war movement has created more war. The anti-drugs movement has created more drugs.”
- Jack Canfield

“I will never attend an anti-war rally, if you have a peace rally, invite me.”
- Mother Teresa
