The Secret Revealed What I’ve Always Known Deep Inside.
Submitted by: Gina Gem Maxwell
Tulsa, OklahomaI'm a wife, mother, and grandmother to two beautiful grandchildren. I love my pets, three dogs and a cat. I am a karaoke junkie, a lover of life and positivity.
I had never heard of The Secret book until a couple of weeks ago. And once I read the book, something within me emerged.
Growing up in California, when I was a little girl I remember staying up late at night, since my bed was right next to the huge window, and instead of going to sleep as my mother had commanded, I would stay up late star gazing for what seemed like hours. One night I wished to see three falling stars and believing with all of my heart and soul. A few minutes later I saw three falling stars! Soon I made a game out of this! And each night I would see my falling stars. Sometimes I wouldn’t see any but then the next night I would see them again.
Years later, I was married to my first husband who really didn’t care about me or the relationship as he was verbally abusive to me. I remember one night I prayed for my future husband. I prayed for someone who wanted the same things that I did, someone who wanted a loving relationship and to grow old together. After praying this specific prayer, I began to dream of a man with dark hair and eyes, and even though I couldn’t see his face clearly in my dreams, the love I felt coming from this man was enough to let me know he was always going to be there for me. I dreamt about this dark haired man every night for one week. And in every dream he was by my side! About a month later, and soon after I had already separated from my first husband, I met my dark haired man!!! We’ve been together now for 27 wonderful years! And you know what? I’m still feeling the love from him, he adores me and I him. I’m not saying this to sound conceited but rather that this really does work!
Miracles happen all around us, and can happen to any one of us if we just only learn to ask, believe, and receive. I had also been trying to remember to be thankful and appreciative of the people and things I have in my life. What I learned from reading The Secret was that I’ve always known this deep within me but that I must remember to give thanks for everything I have in my life and not just from time to time.
I’ve always been a deep thinker, a believer. But often times we get lost in this world, as we are fed into the negativity coming from the daily news stories, work, traffic, etc. The Secret confirmed and reminded me of what I’ve always known. Yet it has also taught me so much! Thank you!
