The book and DVD, "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne has garnered a lot of attention lately. The book is all about the law of attraction, and that what we devote our energy and attention to is what we attract into our lives. The first time I read about the concept was in Napoleon Hill's book, "Think and Grow Rich." He summed it up by saying that whatever the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve. This is not a new concept. It has been around for centuries. One of the central beliefs is that we must be grateful for what we already have, which is something we've talked about many time on Art of Gracious Living.
