Traveler's Gift- Excellent Read

A friend of mine gave me the popular book, The Traveler's Gift. It's a pretty decent book, but it's message is very simple. I'm going to write the seven decisions from the book here as a reminder to myself and anyone who's read it. Good to have them someplace to just ponder easily if you don't have the book around...
1. The buck stops here. I am responsible for my past and my future.
2. I will seek wisdom. I will be a servant to others.
3. I am a person of action. I seize this moment. I choose now.
4. I have a decided heart. My destiny is assured.
5. Today I will choose to be happy. I am the possessor of a grateful spirit.
6. I will greet this day with a forgiving spirit. I will forgive myself ( my favorite).
7. I will persist without exception. I am a person of Great Faith.

There is a lot in the book that echoes the Secret/Law of Attraction. Its main differences seem to be a focus on self actuation. It feels a bit more empowering, and a bit less esoteric than the Secret. However, I think they all can truly be combined to create one powerful philosophy.
