"Prosperity is your birthright, and you hold the key to more abundance- in every area of your life- than you can possibly imagine. You deserve every good thing you want, and the Universe will give you every good thing you want, but you have to summon it into your life. The Secret is that you have the key. The key is your thoughts and feelings. And you have been holding the key in your hand all your life."
-The Secret desk calendar

So the assumption is that we are all sort of miserable? Fair enough.

I have a new theory about asking for things. I think you can get a lot by asking. But asking is not the easiest thing in the world to do, and I wonder why that is. For me, setting goals of any substance is difficult (and get ready to be blown out of your chair by my density), but I can't think of a single person whose life I'd like to emulate. Of course there are aspects of people's lives that I envy, but I seem to have a terrible problem with commitment that way. It makes no logical sense because, of course, making no choice is also a choice. Only now I'm committed (more or less) to a job that has nothing to do with books or music. Hmmm... sounds like it's time for a montage! A slow one that culminates around April, perhaps?
