Discovering the Truth Within Myself

My Brother was given ‘The Secret’ in book form by his Oncologist after being diagnosed with Lymphoma before Thanksgiving. He in turn gave me a copy of ‘The Secret’ following my surgery. Before Christmas a routine Colonoscopy had found Cancer cells within a polyp. I knew at that time that I had let the cancer in and that it had not yet spread. I did not know of ‘The Secret’ officially, but used my own learned belief system to ‘cure’ myself before surgery. Yesterday I was told that I can consider myself cured, and I am very grateful, but that is not the only story that I want to share here.
What I want to share was the feeling of peace I felt from the moment that I started reading ‘The Secret’. I knew that it was the confirmation that I had been wanting my entire life for what many would consider ‘strange’ coincidences that I kept mostly to myself. I shared these strange things that I felt I caused or somehow saw before they happened with few people in my life. After reading ‘The Secret’ I realized that the good and the bad things that had come to be in my life were natural, and I had set them in motion myself. I now feel that I owe it to others to share why I know that everything in ‘The Secret’ is true. Hopefully, it will help others to change their lives as I feel mine has already been changed.
I plan on keeping the negativity out of my life and let in more of the joy.
Today let me tell you about the very first time I used ‘The Secret’:
In the Fall of 1960 I was ten years old. My brother had just been born in August and I had been forced to give up a bedroom by myself to share with one of my sisters who was three years younger than myself. It was not that ‘One Thing’ but the accumulation of events that led to much tension between my sister and myself. We fought constantly. She was one of those people who seldom showed emotion and I had found that the deepest way to hurt her was to keep at her until she cried. One day I had just succeeded in doing that, when I had a sudden inspiration. I remember thinking clearly that it did not need to be this way, that I was the oldest and should give a good example. Seeing her cry made me feel bad, not good. I started picturing doing things with her, laughing, sharing, talking. In short, loving each other, instead of fighting. I spent a lot of time thinking that that was the way it should be.
Eventually, I just told her one day that from this day forward we would always be the best of friends. We have been and still are. We’ve married, had children, gone through countless tragedies and joys, but we are as two souls joined. That gives us both great joy and strength.
I was a simple ten year old child. I didn’t know that anything was impossible. I’ve often let the wrong knowledge and thoughts get in the way of achieving such wonders in the last 40 plus years. But I’ve rediscovered this Truth that anything is possible. You just have to have faith in yourself.
