I got to listen to a talk yesterday by one of the most dynamic and amazing speakers I've heard in a long time. His name is Scott Fried http://www.scottfried.com/
He was talking about Rescue and how the roots of the word mean two things. Dance and Affliction. What a beautiful truth. He talked about the opportunity that challenges, problems and painful situations can offer.
Afterward, I was talking to him. He was one of the most optimistic people I've listenend to. He obviously had a grasp keeping his focus on what he wished instead of wrapping himself up in a negative message. And yet… I found myself telling him the issue I have with the “Secret”. It simplifies a way of living and does not hold the accountability that is necessary for growth. I believe in the law of attraction. I also believe that when we short change the impeccable universe by declining things that are not to our taste…. we do not learn to dance.
I believe in accountability. I believe in being honest with how you're feeling and in that truth also reaching for what you want.
I was really incredibly impressed with this man and his story and the hope and courage that he offered to each person present.
