Over the past few months I’ve fallen back into the habit of reading the news. It’s all recession, economic meltdown and toxic debt all the time. It doesn’t help that I work of a bank. A bank that failed last year, was taken over by the FDIC, and then sold to a mega-bank. For the last few months I’ve been hard a work dismantling the company I helped build. A very surreal experience. Even if I avoid the media accounts of what’s happening I’m exposed to the reality of the situation every day at the office. Articles on our company intranet, water cooler chatter, and general lack of morale as we go through the monthly rounds of lay offs. My number is up in a couple of weeks.

A couple of months ago I saw the move “The Secret” completely by accident (hmm, could it have been The Secret at work?). The movie was interesting. It did concentrate a bit too much on materialistic goals but it definitely held my interest. The Secret is The Law of Attraction; they tell you this in the beginning of the movie so I’m not giving away too much of the plot. I went online to search for The Law of Attraction. That’s how I discovered The Success Principles. Jack Canfield is one of the many teachers of The Secret in the movie.

My path is undefined. I am a hiker lost in a dark forest. I follow the trail through the woods without any particular destination in mind. “You’ll know it when you see it,” I keep telling myself. Perhaps it’s just through those trees ahead. It looks sunny over there. I set up camp for a few days then get back on the path. Everything looks the same. I have the sensation that I’ve been here before. I’m disoriented. I no longer see the light coming through the trees. Pages
