A Coach's-Eye View of "The Opus" Movie

Attention, Law of Attraction Fans! Have you seen the film called, "The Opus: From Vision to Plan to Performance," by Douglas Vermeeren? It's designed to pick up where "The Secret" movie, by Rhonda Byrne, left off...with more detail about the inspired action steps that Dr. Joe Vitali talks about in "The Secret."

Although with fewer details about quantum physics than were in the "What the Bleep Do We Know!?" (by Mark Vicente, Betsy Chasse, and William Arntz), "The Opus" covers some of the same ideas in its own way. "The Opus" also uses a similar structure, with a story line weaving together the practical meaning of the advice and stories of the experts shown in the film.

The Experts: Here's a list of some of my favorite experts from "The Opus." (Most of these folks were also in "The Secret," but there are many in "The Opus" that were new to me, also.)
  • Jack Canfield
  • Dr. Joe Vitali
  • Morris Goodman
  • Dr. John Dimartini
  • Bob Doyle
  • Mark Victor Hansen

Where "The Opus" Shines: Some critics of "The Secret" said that it seemed to be directed to a self-centered and materialistic audience. I have to agree, but I looked past that because I think it's very important to get the message of the Law of Attraction (like attracts like in our lives) out there.

"The Opus," however, has avoided that pitfall. It focuses more on the altruistic side of manifestation, including intentionally reaching out to others and giving them the nudge they need to reach their own highest goals.

Remember "Max Headroom"?

Max was a computer-generated TV character who sounded like he needed a defrag. Sometimes I feel like my head needs a defrag! How can we restore our "maximum headroom" with all that's going on up there?

May I suggest some recycling? For example, process:

  • worry into actionable concern
  • anger into corrective action
  • guilt into remediation
  • doubt into reasonable risk
  • judgments into observations
  • willy-nilly distractions into a queue to be handled during your lower-energy times of the day
  • low-priority tasks into delegatable, delayable, or deletable tasks

Please leave us a comment if you're making "headway" with your "headroom", and how that creates space for your creativity to flourish!

Thanks,

Susan
