This was what came out of my fortune cookie. Which I thought was sort of ironic - a fortune cookie telling me not to depend on fortunes.
Every year or two, someone comes along with a book like The Secret, suggesting that there is a quick and easy way to be happy and make a lot of money. According to The Secret, all you have to do is to think and visualize positive thoughts and you will attract into your life all the good things you want. This idea appeals to people who are afraid to do the hard work that is necessary to achieve anything worthwhile. I have The Secret on my shelves, and it's a great place to start for positive thinking. but it's not the be-all end-all.
The real secret of success is that there are no secrets. There are only universal principles and age-old truths that have been discovered and rediscovered throughout the ages. Happiness, health, and prosperity do no occur by accident. They are the result of deliberate design and are subject to the iron Law of Cause and Effect.
This law says, "For every cause, there is an effect." It also says, "For every effect, there is a cause or causes." This means that if you do certain things, you get certain results.
Here is a simple rule: If you do what other successful people do, over and over again, nothing can stop you from eventually getting the same results that they do. Conversely, if you don't do what other successful people do, nothing can help you. Success is not an accident. It is not a matter of luck but of design. It is simple a matter of cause and effect.
So, don't depend on all your wishes or prayers or dreams. You've got to take some action to make them happen.
Or, you can keep doing what you're doing. And get the exact results you've been getting.
