			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My inspiration for blogging came from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1582701709?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=observmounta-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=1582701709">The Secret</a><bug border="0" width="1" height="1" style="border: medium none ; margin: 0px"></bug>.  I was watching Oprah one day and she had the author of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1582701709?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=observmounta-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=1582701709">The Secret</a><bug border="0" width="1" height="1" style="border: medium none ; margin: 0px"></bug> on, plus a panel of other guests.  I was curious about the book, so I went out and bought it.  While reading <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1582701709?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=observmounta-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=1582701709">The Secret</a><bug border="0" width="1" height="1" style="border: medium none ; margin: 0px"></bug>, I had a &#8220;light bulb&#8221; moment and was inspired to start blogging.   A few months prior to that, I didn&#8217;t even know what a blog was.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not quite sure where this journey will take me, but I do agree with some of the information that&#8217;s written in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1582701709?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=observmounta-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=1582701709">The Secret</a><bug border="0" width="1" height="1" style="border: medium none ; margin: 0px"></bug>.  It does say that when a idea comes, to follow it; so that is what I am doing.</p>
<p>I have since gotten the DVD, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000K8LV1O?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=observmounta-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B000K8LV1O">The Secret (Extended Edition)</a><bug border="0" width="1" height="1" style="border: medium none ; margin: 0px"></bug>, and have watched that too.</p>
<p>My biggest concern was how <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1582701709?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=observmounta-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=1582701709">The Secret</a><bug border="0" width="1" height="1" style="border: medium none ; margin: 0px"></bug> related to what is written in the Bible, so I have been comparing it to one of the books I ready daily, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/044657810X?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=observmounta-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=044657810X">Daily Readings from Your Best Life Now: 90 Devotions for Living at Your Full Potential</a>, by Joel Osteen.   I find it rather ironic, as there is a real parallel between the two books.</p>
<p>My observation of this is that I have been on the right path.  It pays to stay optimistic, even when things aren&#8217;t going the way I had hoped, because something better is just around the corner.</p>
