WAS “THE SECRET” REVEALED IN 1925??

Check out “The Game of Life”* by Florence Scovel Shinn and decide for yourself. I read this great little book many years ago and recently came across it again… I was amazed how similar the message is to the new bestseller, “The Secret” by Rhonda Byrne. But what is most surprising is that it was written in 1925! It lacks fancy buzzwords and slick marketing, but contains some interesting messages. Here are a few excerpts: “…whatever man sends out in word ordered, will return to him, what he gives he will receive.” “…what man images, sooner or later externalizes in his affairs.” “…to play successfully the game of life, we must train the imaging faculty….an imaging faculty trained to image only good, brings into his life every righteous desire of his heart – health, wealth, love, friends, perfect self-expression, his highest ideals.”(available in paperback as part of a collection of her 4 books, entitled Wisdom of Florence Scovel Shinn at www.amazon.com or check with your local bookstore)
