The coming of a new year supposedly is the best time to lay out one's goals or resolutions so that one emerges a better person for the entire year.

The usual things that make up a person's to-do list include losing weight, embarking on a fitness regimen, earning more money, improving a personal relationship and finding one's happiness. Every year, however, most of us find ourselves wishing for the same things as if the year that had passed failed to produce positive results for us.

Does it mean that losing weight or getting rich is an impossible dream? Can the perfect life partner be so elusive that we have to keep wishing to find one every year?

All these questions and more seem to have simple answers, if we follow the ideas presented by Rhonda Byrne's The Secret. This book gained media attention after Oprah Winfrey mentioned it in her show. Many were intrigued by its title and others who read it could not stop raving about its contents.

There is a reason why the book is a best-seller.

It contains a lot of insight about the power of the mind. Its main message seems to say that if you change the way you think, from a negative outlook to a positive one, things will start going your way.

The secret lies in the basic premise called, "The Law of Attraction." Unlike the scientific law of attraction which holds that opposite forces attract while like forces repel, The Secret's Law of Attraction holds that: "like attracts like".

In life, what one thinks, one attracts. Positive thoughts, therefore, attract positive things, and vice versa. If you can think it up, then you can achieve it.

If you were to apply the law of attraction to a weight loss goal, for example, then all that you need to do is to think of yourself having a slimmer body and with all of the excess weight gone.

Block off all thought that losing weight is going to be a painful and difficult process. Discard the old cliché of "no pain, no gain." Think instead: "to weigh less is painless."

Positive thinking also involves the visualization of your goal. See yourself sporting a svelte figure. Create mental images of having a stunning silhouette. And then hold that thought always as you encourage yourself to observe your weight loss plan.

If you truly believe and see that you can achieve all your dreams, all the things that make up your dreams will come flowing to you.
