Change From Within

Submitted by: Rachel B

New York

NY student with everything she ever wanted

One of the key principles of The Secret was to visualize. As a student currently preparing for her biggest examination in her life, O didn’t have a lot of time to daydream. However, despite the fact that The Secret seemed too good to be true, I decided to give it a shot.

During those rare moments of free time, I used to come to this website and read stories that had occurred to other people. I would think to myself, if it has worked so amazingly for all these people, why not me?

I had already read the book a couple of times, and every night before I went to sleep I would close my eyes, open the book at random, and read a page. One line I always stumbled upon was ‘Trust the Universe’. I also spent a few minutes dreaming before I went to sleep. I dreamt of getting straight As for my exams and really felt it. I used to smile and laugh to myself as I visualized my dreams coming true. It really made me feel good, and most of the time that feeling lasted through the next day.

It would be a lie to say that I didn’t doubt it coming true, because I’m only human. But I always told myself that I deserved this and it will happen.

Getting straight As for this particular examination is barely heard of. But it was no surprise to me when I got my results. Straight As and one of the top in my school. I decided to try it once more.

I was best friends with Jake for a really long time, and last year, like a typical fairy tale story, we had started dating, and everything was going so well. He was crazy about me, and we’ve been falling for each other ever since we were twelve. But one day, I don’t know why I did it, but I dumped him. Maybe it was because I needed space or time to prove that he really was as important to me as I was to him.

It took me two weeks to realize that that was the worst thing I could have done. He was in my college and I saw him every day; every sight of him reminded me of how much I missed him. He seemed okay, but he never showed his true feelings. He always hid behind a calm facade.

I went through months of pain, unable to get over him. We talked from time to time; every word he spoke I tried to find a double meaning to prove that he still loved me. I didn’t know what to do. I tried to talk to him about it, but every attempt ended badly. His friends were telling me he was over me – though they thought I was over him too. I didn’t believe them; what we had shared had been something great.

It had been God sent when I finally found The Secret. I imagined being with him again and feeling the way I felt when we fell in love. Some days I thought to myself that it wasn’t working, and I doubted myself, but I told myself that it had to work. It was meant to work out this way. I would visualize us spending time together alone.

About two months later we were assigned partners for a project. We ended up spending two weekends alone together. That was the moment I knew without a doubt that we would be together again. Even though we didn’t talk much after that, I still dreamt, still believed, still knew without a doubt that The Secret was working.

Three days ago, I saw him at a party. We ended up talking all night and everything came out. How much he missed me, how much he had hurt over me. The most amazing thing was I had always told myself that he didn’t come back to me at first because of how hurt he had been.

We’re together again now, more in love than we have ever been, and it’s all thanks to the Secret.

I know some people have doubts because they believe that God doesn’t fit in this scheme of things. But I believe that even though The Secret does exist, God is the one who made things be. The Secret is our hope, but God is our faith, our protector, and our love.

I hope this story would help you believe like many other stories have helped me.
