I’m about to graduate in the top eight percent in my class, with absolutely no help for paying college. But despite the ache of not getting that scholarship I prayed every night for, I still felt pretty content, all because of The Secret.

About five days ago I started reading how we can basically manifest anything that we want. Well, I remember reading the particular chapter where it introduces the shortcut and suddenly feeling extremely inspired to act. Not in an actual action, but to think about being nice to people and people being nice to me.

It’s been about three months already since all of the acquaintances I had kept a wonderful relationship with broke down. It only took one remark to the wrong person to change everybody’s view about me. Day after day I began to be looked down on, insulted, hated… even though I knew they all had evil remarks to say, I still pretended not to care, only to find how much it really bothered me.

When I read this chapter I remember feeling inexplicable joy, and I was suddenly screaming my thoughts to the universe, “Yes! We are all happy, because I’m nice and everybody’s nice!” Over and over about six times. Then my mood suddenly shifted so abruptly and I felt extremely happy. I was expecting it to take a while, but on that same day (Friday) all of those people who didn’t like me started to say hello to me and greet me as if they were my best friends. It felt really nice, and as the day ran its course I felt happier and the people around seemed NICER and happier too.

The rest of the weekend I just couldn’t contain my joy, and even problems at home that I usually exploded in a rage to I kept calm and NICE. All because I followed an advice from this wonderful book.

Though I still have that itching question about the validation of this book… I can’t begin to explain how that happened.
