I have just recently learned about the secret and have started trying to implement it in my life. My biggest difficulty has been my job. I currently work an assembly-type job, on my own, eight hours a day. With all that free time on my own, I inevitably succumb to that sinking doubt: "How is it going to happen?" "Is it really possible?"
Years and years of self-doubt is challenging to overcome, I know, but forty hours a week of this type of thinking will naturally prevent manifestation of my dreams!!!
I was hoping that maybe I could get some hints and tips from people who are using the secret in their own lives - a different perspective would be very helpful indeed!
Thank you

If you cannot find happiness, serenity, joy and contentment where you are right now - then where else do you expect to find it?

But you will never find it if you look anywhere else. it is not some goal, something tangible or obtainable "at some point in the future"> THis is not some life objective you have to wait for.
This is what I am trying to explain.

A mother who has got her child kidnapped will never find any peace till she finds her child.

but this is not what we are talking about, is it? Why do you add something outside of the current discussion?

I do not think I will be able to do meaningful talk with you Mettamaid. I will continue talking with the original poster.

This assembly job gives you lot of time to think? Is it such that you work like a machine without much thinking?

Oh. I see you have changed your post and changed your mind.
You are a very odd woman.
I do not underastand your reluctance to discuss.
