Book Summary of The Magic | Author Rhonda Bryne
One word changes everything…
For more than twenty centuries, words within a sacred text have mystified, confused, and been misunderstood by almost all who read them. Only a very few people through history have realized that the words are a riddle, and that once you solve the riddle–once you uncover the mystery–a new world will appear before your eyes.
In The Magic, Rhonda Byrne reveals this life-changing knowledge to the world. Then, on an incredible 28-day journey, she teaches you how to apply this knowledge in your everyday life.
No matter who you are, no matter where you are, no matter what your current circumstances, The Magic is going to change your entire life!
With the practice of gratitude, while the challenges may come, you will know how to overcome them and learn from them.
The Magic formula:
- Deliberately think and say ‘Thank You’.
- More deliberate ‘Thank You’, more gratitude feeling.
- More gratitude feeling, more abundance.
Gratitude must become a way of life, must impregnate our cells & subconscious mind.
Out of 28 days Gratitude Practice, 1st 12 days are for gratitude for what you have now & in the past. Next ten days are desires & dreams. The last six are for higher level (help others, dissolve problems, improve the situation).
You can follow 28 day practice or choose one practice that is important for 3 days in a row, or everyday for a week. After 28 days, use particular one for special need.
Your job is to wish. ‘How’ is not your job.
Strong Request: Find time to maintain a list of your dreams throughout life. List small, big, what you want now, after a day, week, month, a year. You can categorize them as follows.

Day 6: Works like magic
- If you take any activity, any skill-take it & push it as far it goes & push it beyond where it has never been before, push it beyond the edges of edges, then you force it in the realm of magic”. Tom Robbins
VIMP: To bring success or increase things in your job/work like opportunities, promotions, money, brilliant ideas, inspirations & appreciation, it is essential to be grateful for your job or work. When you are grateful for your job/work, you are in a happier state of mind (you can’t be grateful otherwise), you will automatically give more to your work—-more money, more success. If you are bitter, complaining, you give less to your work (less efficiency).
Include more details to be grateful for-colleagues, facilities, students/customers. For parent-children.
You should love your job. Be excited to go to work.
VIMP: The way to receive dream job is to feel grateful for the present job. (How to do it when it is very bad? Principle may be correct, but it must be practical-Think)

Turn wounds into wisdom Oprah Winfrey
Child does so many mistakes of all kinds before it learns. There is no other way. They never worry what others think. It is automatic/natural. Why adults are so hard on themselves. Everyone makes mistakes. Perfection doesn’t happen overnight. Attitude about the mistakes makes the difference. We get into trouble due to ego and comparison.
Pain from mistakes is a deliberate design so that we don’t repeat it, and improve. To learn, we must first own the same. How do you learn from mistakes- Through gratitude.
Today, think about a mistake made(small/big). But choose one that hurts. It could be anywhere, home/office/outside. It could be about behaviour/bad decision/ in home, workplace, finances. Once you identify a mistake, look for the things to be grateful for. Ask: What did I learn from the mistake? What are good things that came out of the mistake? Even if you can’t see anything good right now, just take it as an experience, and say that God may have good reason for doing it, which you may know later & are grateful to Him.

When you are grateful to be the person in the mirror, feelings of dissatisfaction, discontentment, disappointment, or I am not good enough completely disappear. The circumstances also change for the better. Feelings about yourself cause the greatest damage in your life, because they are more powerful than any feelings about anything or anyone else.
