“A Way Will Be Made”

Submitted by: Heather W.

California

I am an artist, writer, and entertainer.

Wow, The Secret truly works in every aspect. For the past few weeks I have thought, “I would love to share what has happened in my life with those wonderful folks that released The Secret.” And here we are.

Ok, about two years ago, I was on a mission to kill myself. The mental hospital was my second home, and there was not a doctor in the town I lived in that could help me. I cried incessantly, I was inconsolable at the many losses and injustices thrust upon me. Or so I thought.

One night, I succeeded in my mission. I went to the hospital with massive blood loss, I had less than half the blood one needs to stay alive; I went there to die. I did die. To this day, I do not know why, but I was brought back to life. I had no money, no job, not even enough food to feed my cat; we were starving. I woke in the hospital, I was alive and the nurses could not believe it. I remember hearing them say, “I don’t understand how you’re even awake right now.” The emergency abdominal surgery they had to perform to save me left me unable to move, so I lay there, thinking about how to turn my hopeless situation around. Please realize I had no friends, no family, no one on this blessed Earth who cared if I lived or died. I was addicted to heroin and cocaine as well.

So I began thinking of what I wanted, and only the things that would bring my life once again into the amazing state of wonder it had been before. Eventually I was released from the hospital. My home was a disaster, something out of Hoarders. There was no heat, no food, not even a bed to lay on, as I used every waking moment to imagine the life I wanted (I laid on the dirty floor, on stinky blankets, with my head propped up on a suitcase).

About 30 days or so went by. I began to feel better and better, and then, bam! I got a windfall of money right in my lap. The life I had imagined started to take shape.

I moved immediately, and got a wonderful new house, peaceful, clean, and beautiful. The kitty-cat and I ate lots of food! But, I did not know I was using The Secret. At my new place, I came across The Secret somewhere online and was astonished that this is what I had been doing unwittingly. I cried. This is how I had been changing my life so far. So I watched, learned, memorized, and took notes on The Secret. Now, here’s the good part. I am now the picture of health! I take vitamins, and I have no need of drugs. I have the life I wanted and more! My home is not only clean, but beautiful. I live a life of wonder and constant joy, for I know I am creating it, one thought at a time.

I even put The Secret to the test last winter. I love Stephen Colbert and his Colbert Report; he makes me laugh like no one else!! So, I thought, “Wouldn’t it be cool to go there and meet him?” Impossible though it seemed at the time (I am in CA, he’s in NY), now I have a photo of Mr. Colbert and I on my wall. Looking at it you would never know I was an unemployed, suicidal heroin addict just two years prior. Each time I look at that photograph, I know in my soul that The Secret works, and is probably the only thing in life I can really count on; for I have proved even death itself can be overcome with the power of one’s thoughts.

I know it was I who created the amazing life I live now, but it was you who ‘taught me how to fish’. How can I possibly thank you for that? I would be dead now if I had not changed my way of thinking and attracted your film into my life.

Thank you for bringing this Secret to the world… and to me… I am changed forever! Bless you.
