It's no coincidence that self-actualization holds precedence on Maslow's hierarchy of needs. A deep understanding and appreciation of yourself is what positions you to pursue your passions whole heartedly in life. Every characteristic that you posses is somehow intertwined in the threads of your destiny. What you may perceive to be a flaw could very well be the thing that enables you to function in your given arena of existence. Once you truly grasp this and realize that there are no accidents or coincidences in regards to you -- the self, then you will begin to gain an awareness of the unique entities that reside inside of you... the things that you uniquely offer this world... the void you were born to fill. It's difficult to begin to change your world, with a distorted view of yourself. Embracing yourself and your unique characteristics creates a renewed perspective of yourself, which is in accordance with the way your Creator sees you -- possessing every characteristic to be everything that you were predestined to be. When your perspective changes, your awareness of your true self is heightened. When you create a world which is in accordance with an awareness of your limitless possibilities, you're then poised to live your best life possible. Above all, you were created to walk in truth.

Based on the Law of Attraction, the overall premise of The Secret is simple: You can get what you truly feel about. It’s not just thinking about something; you need to envision the results exactly as you would like them to be—and then watch them happen. In this full-color companion to The Secret DVD, Rhonda Byrne discusses its role in the work of some of our most successful teachers including Neale Donald Walsch, Dr. Fred Alan Wolf, Jack Canfield, Dr. John Gray, and Michael Bernard Beckwith. All of them share stories of success ranging from eradicating disease and overcoming obstacles to acquiring wealth and achieving what most would consider the impossible.
