The Power

by Rhonda Byrne

What it's about

This book argues that your feelings and thoughts act as a magnetic force that dictates every outcome in your life. It provides a framework for consciously choosing positive emotions to attract specific circumstances, effectively positioning you as the director of your own reality.

Key ideas

  • The magnetic frequency: Your feelings create a specific frequency that attracts people, events, and circumstances matching that same energy.
  • The law of giving: You must give out the happiness or love you desire because life always returns exactly what you project.
  • The power of gratitude: Practicing appreciation acts as a multiplier that keeps you connected to your ability to shape your world.
  • Conscious emotional control: Instead of reacting to external events, you must intentionally manage your moods to prevent attracting negative outcomes.

“Life isn’t happening to you; life is responding to you. Life is your call! Every area of your life is your call. You are the creator of your life. You are the writer of your life story. You are the director of your life movie. You decide what your life will be – by what you give out.”
“Every day is an opportunity for a new life. Every day you stand at the tipping point of your life. And on any one day you can change the future – through the way that you feel.”

“You cannot exercise much power without gratitude because it is gratitude that keeps you connected with power.” Wallace Wattles (1860-1911) NEW THOUGHT AUTHOR”
“Many people don't know about the power of good feelings, and so their feelings are reactions or responses to what happens to them. THey have their feelings on automatic pilot, instead of deliberately taking charge of them. When something good happens, they feel good. When something bad happens, they feel bad. They don't realize that their feelings are the cause of what is happening to them. As they react with negative feelings to something that has happened, they give out more negative feelings, adn they receive back more negative circumstances.”
“Everything in the universe is magnetic and everything has a magnetic frequency. Your feelings and thoughts have magnetic frequencies too... Whatever you feel, whether good or bad, determines your frequency, and like a magnet you attract the people, events, and circumstances that are on the same frequency.”
“When you play you feel really good – and really good circumstances come into your life. Seriousness brings serious circumstances. Life is supposed to be fun!”
“Do not waste one moment in regret, for to think feelingly of the mistakes of the past is to re-infect yourself.”
“The Power,”
“You can't change a negative situation with bad feelings. If you keep reacting negatively, your bad feelings will magnify and multiply the negativity.”
“Gratitude is the great multiplier.”
“Whether your thoughts and feelings are good or bad, they return as automatically and precisely as an echo.”
“There are no accidents or coincidences in life - everything is synchronicity - because everything has a frequency. It's simply the physics of life and the universe in action.”
“Faith is to believe that which you do not yet see; and the reward of this faith is to see that which you believe. - Saint Augustine of Hippo P.g64”
“Be careful of your mood and feelings, for there is an unbroken connection between your feelings and your visible world.”
“Money is only a tool for you to experience the things you love in life. When you think about the things you can do with money, you will feel much more love and joy than when you think only of money. Imagine being with what you love, doing what you love, and having the things you love, because you will then feel far more love than you will if you only think about money.”
“I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances.”
“If you have been living your life saying to yourself, “I will be happy when I have a better house,” “I will be happy when I get a job or promotion,” “I will be happy when the kids are through college,” “I will be happy when we have more money,” “I will be happy when I can travel,” or “I will be happy when my business is a success,” you will never have those things because your thoughts are defying the way love works. They’re defying the law of attraction. You have to be happy first, and give happiness, to receive happy things! It can’t happen any other way, because whatever you want to receive in life, you must give first! You are in command of your feelings, you are in command of your love, and the force of love will give back to you whatever you give out.”
