The Secret and a Great Movie

If you read the book "The Science of Getting Rich", by Wallace Wattles, one of the things that you would learn is that you want to grow rich by creation, not by competition. Being creative is one of the best things for us to learn how to do while we are living this part of our life here on the Earth. BTW, this book by Wallace Wattles was one of the main books that inspired Rhonda Bryne to create The Secret.

I recently saw the movie "Music and Lyrics". For those who do not know the movie starts with a music video of a 1980s era New Wave song, but the neat part is that this is not one of the 80s songs that we have heard 300 times or more, no they created a *new* one. They invented a group (Called Pop!), invented three or four songs, and a music video that captures the essence of the 80s music videos that they used to play on MV3 or MTV back in the mid-eighties.

I was just amazed by this, because they really nailed it. I love the eighties music, but it is a little annoying that there is nothing new, at least until now. What a great example of someone being creative. They have completely resurrected something that was dead!

And look at the character Alex Fletcher. He makes his living prior to the film by living in the past (as a "happy has been"), but through different events is given the opportunity to be creative again by creating a brand new song from scratch. How cool would it be if all of us could get paid and have our careers built around being creative in this manner.

Why is it such a big deal for us to learn to be creative while we are here on Earth? It is simply because that opportunity to be creative will continue with us into the next phase of our existence. And there IS a next phase.

As Mike Dooley would say, Tallyho!
