I want to start off by saying thank you, thank you, thank you to Rhonda Byrne and the entire team of The Secret for helping me in making my dreams a reality.

I have always been the type of person who gave up easily on most things in life. For the longest time I couldn’t figure out why I operated in such a way and why giving up was always the option, until finally one day recently, I realized that the only reason why it was so easy for me to give up was because I did not believe in myself!

Now it has been said that if you do not believe in yourself, then no one else will and I finally realized how true this statement actually was! I just wish I could have realized it when I was younger.

Fast forward to the last 4 years of my life and I have definitely had my ups and downs with school, relationships, friendships, money, etc. It often seemed as if I was traveling on a long and winding road of misery, defeat, sadness and hopelessness. It wasn’t until I found The Secret that life started to turn around for me.

I wish I could say that my life magically transformed after reading and practicing The Secret but being the quitter that I once was, I gave up on The Secret too, becoming discouraged when things weren’t happening right away. However, I was successful at attracting the little things like receiving texts from specific people or hearing a song on the radio that I hadn’t heard in forever. But when it came to things like money or love, I gave up all too easily, never allowing myself to fully experience the life I knew deep down I deserved to live.

After years of practicing The Secret on and off, I finally decided enough was enough. I was done being a quitter and I was done giving up on not only myself, but on the life that I deserved.

After graduating from college in May I came to the decision that I wanted to go on and get my Masters. I knew that in order to obtain a career as a mental health counselor, I had to go on and further my education. The application process was easy because there was only one school I had my heart set on and decided that would be the only one I would apply to. The graduate program this college offered was among the top programs in the country and therefore was very competitive to get into. Each semester only 45 applicants out of the many that applied would be chosen. Knowing this, I was a little hesitant about applying but went along with it anyway because I knew this was the school I was meant to go to.

Even though my GPA was lower than what they accepted, I applied anyway. I kept telling myself that anything is possible and that my lower GPA wouldn’t matter and that I would get in. To make it more believable, I made a fake acceptance letter and would envision myself walking through the schools hallways, sitting in class, or telling my friends and family that I got in and how happy I would be when I receive the acceptance letter.

Despite having the negative thoughts that tend to appear off and on during the manifestation process, I told myself that I deserved to get into the program and that I was accepted!

After weeks of waiting for my acceptance letter I finally got it!

The strangest thing was that the date I put on the fake acceptance letter was the same date that was marked on the letter and most of what was written was almost exactly the same as it was on my fake acceptance letter!

I immediately started crying tears of joy and kept telling myself “Wow, I did it! I actually did it! I made it into the school of my dreams!”

Even though it has been a few weeks since getting my letter, I am still in shock and often look at the letter as a reminder of what I accomplished simply by practicing The Secret, having faith, visualizing, and most of all believing in myself!

It is truly amazing what you can do once you start believing in yourself and your capabilities.

I want you all to know that you deserve a good life and that you deserve your dreams! Each and everyone of them!

Thank you for taking the time to read my story!!
