Just like a lot of the stories on this site, I’d like to begin by expressing my deep gratitude for The Secret and for the stories on this page which have kept me positive and motivated whilst I have embarked on my secret journey.

To keep things short and sweet, I am a musical theatre dancer, singer, actress who has just completed four years of training at one of the top performing arts schools in the country. It is common knowledge to most that this is an extremely tough and competitive career path but none the less I have never had the desire to do anything else with my career.

My graduating and final year was a particularly tough one. I struggled massively with a great deal of negative thoughts towards myself and others and I found it very difficult to forgive myself for feeling like this. I then began to build up a cycle of self hate towards myself and many people close to me and as we all know from reading The Secret, this negativity did not bode well for me.

In an industry that is full of so many knock backs and cut throat decisions based purely on someone’s physical appearance or who has the most talent, loving one’s self could not be more important. I read The Secret book last Christmas almost 1 year ago and understood the concept, however understanding is one thing and putting it into practice is another. Therefore my self hatred continued.

As the year progressed, I was unhappy. This unhappiness clearly poured out of me and why would an agent or casting director want to employe or assign their books someone like this. I then found myself graduating without an agent, something I desired so badly.

Luckily towards the end of the year, just before my final show and graduation, there was a slight shift in my mood. I received a 2:1 for my degree which I was very proud of and was awarded the prize for the most improved person in my year despite what I thought about myself. These were at least some positives and I think gave me enough strength to not sink too low.

A month after graduating I now had more head space and time to think. I decided to take The Secret seriously. I wrote manifestations and placed them all over my room and the house. I am whole, perfect, strong, powerful, loving. I also wrote on cards and stuck them in prominent places with the goal that I would have an agent by Christmas!

Within weeks of writing and reading those cards and my goal, I moved in with a family friend in London just for a couple of months. I then auditioned for a showcase which I got and rehearsed for for 8 weeks.

I then performed in the showcase and just like magic, only 4 days after the show I was offered to be represented by an agent! A lovely early Christmas present and who knows what else may happen?

I am now using The Secret to manifest a role in a west end production and a perfect relationship. After already achieving my goal to have an agent by Christmas I have total faith I can achieve all of my other desires. I am thankful in advance for what I will receive.

Merry Christmas everyone, it truly is a magical time! So keep faithful and thankful! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
