Jack shit. McDonald’s Monopoly has come to a close, and did I come away with the $500 that I tried to draw in from the universe in the fashion prescribed in The Secret: Shhh? No! Did I come away with any wins at all? A McMuffin. I asked the universe for $500. I got a McMuffin. What in the hell is that? Does the universe have a hearing problem? Is it afflicted with a sick sense of humor? Of course, the book did inform me that if my desire did not come to pass, it was my own fault for not believing in it enough. Wow. How very convenient for them.
