My deepest gratitude to Rhonda Byrne and the whole team of The Secret. Also, thank you, thank you, thank you to all the wonderful people that continue to share their stories. They inspire me each day.

Two years ago I moved to New York City from The Netherlands, where I lived for the last 5 years. I’ve been using The Secret and law of attraction since I was 12 and my move to NYC was a long wanted manifestation! About half a year into my acting studies, I thought I would make a list of qualities, characteristics and desires that I want in a ‘perfect partner.’ I wrote it and forgot about it. I kept going on dates and meeting guys here and there, none of it being not that successful. If I went out with someone who I thought was great or that maybe I could have something with, they proved me wrong.

I moved to NYC to study acting. We were a group of around 20 people and throughout the months we became closer and closer. I started getting pretty close with this handsome, charming guy named Ryan. I liked him a little bit in the beginning of the year, but it came in waves. I liked him. I didn’t like him. I really liked him, and then I convinced myself that I probably shouldn’t like him?! We were really close friends so I never thought much of it. We were so close we’d be sitting in class holding hands or we’d sleep in one bed after we had returned from a party. I went to Connecticut to celebrate Easter with him and his family. I also went there during the summer. The first year ended, the summer started and nothing much happened.

The second year of school began and I started thinking ‘Do I like this guy??? Maybe I don’t?? But wait, what if I do?!’ I just seemed to find some silly excuses to make myself think I did not like him, when in reality, I knew that I did. During the second year of school I went on a couple of more dates, met some guys through dating apps or through someone who was a friend of a friend. I never seemed to hit it off with anyone. Moreover, in my subconscious mind I was comparing them to, Ryan!!!???

When I had made that a year and a half ago, I shared it with one of my friends, Tania. She basically said ‘Oh, this whole list sounds just like Ryan’ but I just brushed it off because I didn’t want it to be Ryan. Because me and Ryan were just close friends, right???

Well, I am here to tell you that we now are more than just friends. He indeed ended up being the guy from my list! Thank you Universe, thank you law of attraction. After more unsuccessful dates and loser guys, I did finally realize that I very much liked Ryan. He was there all along, but I was too blind and ignorant to see it. I spent two Easters with him and his family, he was always the one with whom I could talk about anything, even the loser guys I was seeing. He was that wonderful guy from my list.

It’s funny, because I’ve read so many stories like this on this website; people realizing that their dream partner has been in front of their eyes all along. He is everything from that list and I couldn’t be more grateful for him. That list was also quite detailed, let me just say.

I couldn’t be happier that I am with a man like him. He makes me feel like a giggly 12 year old just by looking at me. So grateful to the Universe for delivering this man to me. It also seemed like he was there before I even asked the Universe. I guess it is true, when you are so in sync with The Universe, it answers you before you can even ask the question.

So I am here to tell you, yet again, this stuff works. You attract things, people, circumstances and opportunities into your life with your thoughts and your feelings. Write it all down on paper. Believe in it, and most importantly, let go.

The Universe always delivers. “Your wish is my command.” Sending so much love to you all. Be happy, be grateful. Write all your dreams onto paper and visualize, visualize, visualize! Many blessings.
