What's the Difference between Simon Cowell and Myself?


I 've been watching American Idol lately and I did some research into Simon and I found out thathe made $33.5 million last year. I made a little less.
I was wondering what the difference was between him and me.
Admittedly there are several of hugely apparant differences, but the one thing that came to me was this:

He knows how to make money and I havent figured it out yet.

He seems to be brutally honest with himself and other people.

Although there are lots of knowledge about manifestation, abundance, and living the life of your dreams,I wonder if spending so much time with those things are a distraction from really figuring out how things work in the real world.

When I figured out about his level of honesty, I started thinking about how honest I really am aboutwhat I think and what I want. Do I fuck myself over because I am too nice inside when my instinctsmay lead me to be what I may initially perceive as harsh but may be lifegiving? In other words, amI killing myself with kindness?

WAITAMINUTE!! The Secret is NOT enough! What you REALLY need is (drumroll puleeze!)...

I've read the Secret, The Science of Getting Rich, and the Master Key System..and one of the teachers whowas on the Secret, has a website with lots of great articles...however he then later advertised 'what if the Secret may not work for you is because you have some really strong unconscious intentions that can be blocking you, in which case you need this subconscious audio cleaningDVD/CD etc. for $39.99!'

I really feel like this is a croc and it pisses me off!

a)In my opinion either the Secret works if you work itor it doesn't. I think at this point, he is just trying to sell stuff..if it doesn't work, then itisn't the Secret!

b) at the end of the day, what if the unconscious cleaning doesn't work,then what? what else do you need to do?

c) It almost seems like the unconscious is an onion - many layers with no end! Going this route can possibly keep you a perpetual student and not a master...

It bothers me also that I do feel really strongly about this. I am wondering why. Does it trigger something in me? Why should I care?
