Belief And A Renewed Hope!

Submitted by: Frank

Pittsburgh, PA

Married 15 years, work full time in customer service, no kids, and am also a part time voice over actor.

I am a middle aged man who has always jumped at the next fad or trend, oftentimes failing miserably. Always looking for that “Pot of Gold” at the end of a rainbow. My Dad always told me that “If it’s too good to be true, then it usually is”. Being the conservative man that he was, well, I wasn’t very conservative. I have been bankrupt, without a soul, Christian, then non-Christian, Catholic, had money and great jobs, then none, disappointed family and relatives and isolated myself, you get the point. A former friend of my wife’s loaned her the book The Secret. My wife didn’t even open the book, neither did I, it sat in our family room for almost a year unopened, then my wife finally returned the book.

Fast forward to just a week ago, the day after our 15th Wedding Anniversary. I was so depressed, worn down, tired, and had started to have thoughts of suicide. My voice-over business was struggling, I didn’t like my job, debts kept piling up, I couldn’t see my way out of all of it. I feared that I was facing another major failure and just about gave up.

Then I started thinking about The Secret, the book that my wife received and never even looked at, I wish I had that book now. I thought “Yeah, just another fad, that’s all I need now, another major disappointment”, if I started to do this thing and it failed, that would be it, I would go off the deep end and in my current state of mind, well let’s not dwell on that. But my point is that there was a reason why I started to think of the book. I had no clue what it was all about, why was this happening, why was I being attracted to this new fad, which is what I thought at the time. I pulled it up on the internet, bought the audio book, downloaded it and started listening, over and over again. I watched the film online and my dark mood started to lift. I felt good about myself again. Let me tell you, right before this I had been starting to scare myself with the thoughts of hurting myself, maybe even doing something pretty extreme and final.

It’s been a little over a week now. I am so fired up about this, I have a new purpose. I have a new way to help others, a new way to get out of debt, change my life, feel good about the path that I am on and the only thing that has changed in my life right now is this “Secret”. I still don’t know how it works, but here’s the thing, I don’t care.

I was laying awake last night Friday staring at the motionless ceiling fan hanging above me. It then hit me, the ceiling fan is motionless, no power, no energy, but it’s there, it was a creation, someone created this with their thoughts and here it is. It was created with thought which turned into energy. But I know that when I hit that switch, it will come to life, lighting the way and providing me with real results, the light, the fan, I know that I know, that I know, that the fan will come to life when I hit the switch. I have no doubt and it will provide me with everything I expect it to.

So, I began to understand what The Secret is all about. I had an epiphany, your thoughts create the thing that you want, your belief leaves no doubt that it’s yours and the switch to activate the power is you receiving what you asked for. Like the ceiling fan, the fan is there, always there hanging lifeless, you know like you know, that when you flip that switch it will come to life and bring you light and coolness.

I am a success, I am one of a kind, I am a very powerful being, I am creating wonders, I am commanding and controlling my life and my future with my thoughts, and I am receiving what I ask for, because I know, I know, I know that what I ask for, what I believe, is a stated fact. It will manifest itself!.

Thank You Rhonda, and if you will allow me, I will continue to post updates to my story here chronologically dated so that you, your staff, and your readers can follow the remarkable and inspiring progress that I will make as I move through this experience called “The Secret”.
