I always thought beauty was externally provided with makeup, braces, surgeries, etc. It never occurred to me that ugliness or being unattractive could stem from your thinking. I never considered myself beautiful but rather, ugly, and my thoughts were always focused on the belief that I was ugly. I thought this even as a kid, so of course, the Universe gave me what it thought I wanted, my predominant thoughts, ugliness!

In my early twenties I had braces and several surgeries to get rid of a gummy smile and fix the asymmetry on my face. For awhile after the surgeries I felt beautiful. I would think beautiful thoughts and I started to attract partners and have an amazing life where my face became lovelier every day.

Then, during a time of particular stress, my surgery to fix my asymmetrical face, which was this complicated one called fat grafting, began to disappear. And once again my face became asymmetrical again, all I could think about was that “I’m ugly!”. I screamed at my mom with fervor, and as I rushed to the mirror, I found my teeth were actually becoming more crooked too! The more flaws I was afraid of seeing, and because I felt so strongly about them, they faster they seem to come and the more I seemed to get! I started to see my face transform, with every negative thought about it. I was amazed that years of wearing braces could be undone by telling myself I was ugly. My teeth actually became crooked and my skin less clear.

After learning The Secret I realized I didn’t even need braces, no one does. Instead, just by having the thought “My teeth are straight and properly aligned and I am beautiful” can do the trick! So, after the shock, I decided to use my powerful mind to tell myself again, that I was beautiful, that I had a pretty smile and a beautiful face, and this is what I now have! My teeth become straight again. It is miraculous, our power. We need nothing external to become beautiful, only the thought and belief we are beautiful!
