THE SECRET REVEALED!?

Countless people have spent a large portion of their life searching for that one "secret," that one ancient hidden teaching or method that reveals how to have a full and joyous life. A large number of people have spent their free time reading books and attending seminars that promise to reveal the "secret" to an abundant life. I'd like to share my personal take on this yearning and search for that one "secret" way. Over my lifetime I have read thousands of self-help books and articles. I've purchased and used several different audio programs by the prominent "Guru" at the time. I've attended dozens of seminars and motivational training programs. Here's what I'd like to share. First, if you are one of those people with that yearning, one of those searching for that "secret," don't be hard on yourself and don't be discouraged. You may have spent hundreds or even thousands of dollars in your pursuit. This does not make you a fool. Though many of the books or methods did not seem to work for you, there are probably some or elements of some that did make a difference for you. It has been both my observation and experience that there is no one method or "secret" to happiness, fulfillment and abundance. There are many ways. The way or "secret" method that will work for you is going to change throughout your life and in various situations. There are times when the best way to get from one place to another is to drive a car. There are also times when a car will be useless and what you need is a boat. Sometimes a bicycle will work better than a tractor. In life, our personal quiver should contain more than one arrow to use in subduing our game. Our personal toolbox of approaches should have several tools to use when achieving the life we desire. All too often, we miss the revealed "secrets" to life that surround us or that we may already possess because we've developed tunnel vision in our search for that one "secret" and cannot see what is around us.
