After reading so many inspirational stories on this blog, I’m so happy that I can finally contribute my own personal story with The Secret.

My boyfriend and I met five years ago when we were both 20. We worked together and started a summer fling after realizing our intense attraction. However, I had just ended a toxic relationship and wasn’t ready for anything serious when he wanted a relationship. By the time I was ready, he had moved on. We didn’t speak for the next four years. During that time, he excelled academically, and I traveled around the world. Last year, after returning from one of my trips, I thought about him and decided to contact him. Surprisingly, he had been thinking about me too. We decided to meet up, started dating, and fell in love. We believed it was fate that we found each other after four years.

However, things changed when I was offered a job in France that would keep me away for 7 months. Despite the distance, we planned for him to visit me for Christmas and remained open to the idea of a long-distance relationship. However, after I left, things changed between us. Both of us began to fear losing each other, and now I understand that through the law of attraction, we were actually attracting problems to us! Petty disagreements turned into bickering, bickering turned into arguing, and arguing turned into full-blown fights. After a few months, I didn’t recognize us anymore. I couldn’t understand how two people so perfect for each other could be torn apart like that. I was angry, frustrated, hurt, and doubtful. Eventually, we agreed to end the relationship before it was too late to salvage whatever good was still left. I’ve never been so heartbroken. I tried a couple of times to convince him to take me back, that we could fix things, but nothing worked.

I had lost him. He didn’t talk to me the way he used to, and he didn’t say he loved me. I felt like I was a burden to him, and he even told me he dreaded talking to me on the phone because of how horrible I made him feel. It was so painful for me to hear him say that. I even came to visit the U.S. for one week to try to repair our relationship, but it went very sour. We couldn’t open our mouths anymore without fighting. I came back to France and cried for three days straight, praying for help.

After discovering The Secret, which was introduced to me by a friend during a trip to Lithuania, I felt like it was no coincidence. I had been seeking help, and the Universe guided me to The Secret. I immediately watched the DVD and bought the book upon returning to France. I watched the DVD multiple times and started to put its teachings into practice.

I stopped contacting my (ex) boyfriend and focused on activities that made me feel good. I created a vision board with images of soulmates and the qualities I desired in a partner, even though I thought my relationship was over. I began to prioritize self-love and forgiveness. I let go of grudges and filled myself with love and patience. I started dancing in the shower, singing silly songs while getting ready in the morning, and taking time to appreciate the flowers on my way to work. I even started thanking the sun for shining. My anxiety disappeared within days, and I began waking up with a smile. Finally, I put a wish out into the Universe for my soulmate to come into my life.

Within a few days, my boyfriend called me.

He said that he was sorry for the arguments and the bitterness. He said he loved me, that I deserved the best, and that while he didn’t know our future, he wanted to try a relationship with me when I came home. In the past, I would have held his mistakes against him, but with The Secret, I opened myself up to receive his love and apology. I immediately forgave him without any questions. I found the words to express myself, and I apologized to him as well, and he forgave me, too!

For the first time in months, we actually talked instead of arguing, and in no time, things completely turned around for us! We were laughing again, flirting, and making little plans together for when I came home. The feeling was wonderful, and I knew it was because the Universe made it possible.

Once I knew The Secret was working, I put a new wish out there: not only will we get back together, but we will get married in the next three years. I used a picture of us smiling as wallpaper on my phone, and I changed his contact information to say “My husband” instead of his name. I also borrowed ideas of what others did in their stories. I put our pictures back up in my room, made a bouquet of flowers of his favorite colors, slept on “my side” of the bed, and visualized him cuddling me. I even drew pictures of us embracing and wearing wedding bands. Above all, I thanked the Universe and God for the things I already have. I was grateful for who I am, for the happiness bubbling within me, for all my loved ones, and for all my wonderful experiences. I knew my boyfriend was the one, and I thanked the Universe for guiding us into each others’ lives once more.

When I came home, we went on our third “first date.” Everything was perfect. He was talking to me with gentleness and love, just like he used to. He told me that I had changed, too. I am not as controlling as I was a few months ago, and I am much more relaxed and optimistic. He told me how beautiful he thinks I am and how he can’t stop thinking about me. When we went to the beach a couple of weeks ago, he asked me to be his girlfriend again. I spent nearly an hour in meditation, just thanking the Universe over and over again! I have never been so happy. We even went to Florida to pick out his condo. We are both moving there in a few months but will be living in different cities. He said he wanted me to help him decide since I will be spending my weekends with him. He is so optimistic about our future that he is even hinting playfully about proposing to me! I could not have wished for a better outcome!

I am happy to say that we are doing wonderfully! He is such a wonderful man, and I feel so blessed to have him back in my life. I will always use The Secret, now and forever.

I have to say, I am amazed. Not just by my personal story but by all the stories I have read on this website. There is something indeed magical about us and the Universe. I feel like we are barely scratching the surface of it. There is so much to look forward to, and I am so happy and grateful that we are welcomed as creators in this wonderful life. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
