Hey there Uniquesoul,
Thank you for your response. I really appreciate how you take the time and effort to respond to me and others. This makes this forum worth returning to... always something happening!

I genuinely believe that Jack Canfield does implement what he teaches. I feel his sincerity (and sometimes get irritated at his tendency to repetitiveness) when he speaks. I think this course is actually an analysis of his success-generating process. I believe the course is based upon his personal experience of how he became successful.

I have absolutely no doubt that if I follow his instructions I will become extremely successful.... just I have a lot to learn, some growing to do in order to embrace those big dreams, and some bad habits (negative self-talk for example) to lose before I really start to make earth-shaking progress.

I haven't actually ever watched "THE SECRET" because my rational mind refuses to accept the 'secret' concept. I dislike hocus-pocus, false information, and pride myself on having developed a scientific mindset. While I appreciate spontaneous ideas, going with the flow, letting the universe deliver etc, I personally do not want to induce my success through quasi-secret steps. I find Jack's rational, step-by-step approach to be exacly what I need.

Do the others practise what they preach? Couldn't hazard even a guess. It probably depends on how effective and practicable what they teach is. However, looking at the universe, people who CONSISTENTLY eat wholesome food in moderate quantities usually look better than those who over-indulge and ill-indulge. Similarly those who set goals and CONSISTENTLY work towards them are more likely to reach them than those who merely visualise an outcome and let the universe deliver. If we get physical exercise CONSISTENTLY we look better, feel better and are fitter than when we don't exercise. So I believe that if I consistently work towards my success (five steps a day is suggested), then over time I will definitely occupy a different life-space.
Take care,
French Claire
