Chocolate Cake Impulse

A couple of days ago my life was upside down. I was at a point in my life where I was confused by what I wanted, and with no solution to my problems. School was turning out to be not what I expected and I felt like I was a failure. I complained all the time and things just seemed to get worse. That was when my mother showed me The Secret. After watching it I felt something inside me come to life, and all I wanted to do was start changing my life. I was excited but with no direction as to what to change first, so I decided to start small. I started thinking about the things that made me happy and started listing them in my mind. I said I loved flowers and I loved cake… chocolate cake. In my mind I envisioned it. I went to bed thinking about cake and flowers, and the next morning I saw my boyfriend pulling up to pick me up with a flower in his hand. Turns out that morning he overslept, and so since I was running late I forgot about the flower.
I was very proud of myself for keeping a positive attitude and believing that that day was a perfect day. After I got out of school that same day and I got into the car, I was surprised to see him with a chocolate cake in his hands and two spoons. I began to laugh because that was exactly what I wanted. When I asked him why he had gotten the cake, he said it had been an impulsive feeling he had as he passed by the store and that he wanted me to know that he was still spontaneous!
