Eighth Secret: “Treat Yourself As If You Already Are What You’d Like To Be”

This is a wondrous statement. We have all heard of the law of attraction, espoused by Rhonda Byrnes in her famous book and film, The Secret. However, Dyer goes beyond The Secret in many of his thoughts. We do not attract what we want to attract; we attract what we already are. We must be focused on who we want to be as if we are that thing or person already.

If we want peace in our life, we must see ourselves already as the embodiment of peace. Similarly, if we want a peaceful relationship with someone else, we must see that person as a peaceful individual. When we say we want peace, that is not enough because wanting is a state of absence. That is the very definition of want. We must visualize that we already have it and that we are already there.

In short, we set our intention for where we want to be. When we set our intention toward a goal, our unconscious mind drives us toward completion of that goal effortlessly and at the appointed time. We follow forward toward our destination without labor or hardship. Whatever we want to be or want to become, we should see ourselves as a finished image of that self.
