I always considered myself to have a positive outlook on life, but how wrong I was! I was given a copy of The Secret to read several months ago, and was amazed by its teachings. I realized that my attitude was actually quite negative and I decided to take a long, hard look at myself and make a change for the better. Reading through the book gave me a huge sense of peace and empowerment. I knew that I had within me the power to make my life much better than it is.

I began to take a look around me and be grateful for what I have. I have a house, a car, a loving partner, a healthy daughter and food on the table, which sadly is more than some people have. I knew that I was fortunate, and I gave thanks for my life for the first time, and it felt good!

I began to incorporate more of The Secret into my daily life. I woke up each morning and told myself that only good things were going to happen. I smiled more, and people smiled back! It was great.

I then started to “expect a cheque” (‘check’ in USA) every time the mail came. At first nothing happened, but I kept my belief. Then I had an unexpected cheque from my insurance company; only a small one, but it made me smile and realise that the power of change is within my thoughts.

I then received another cheque about a week later; again only a small one, but I knew it was The Secret at work. I felt grateful and very happy. I kept telling myself that I was a money magnet, and then guess what happened? Another cheque came! This was a big one, over £500, enough to pay for Christmas this year. I just stared at the cheque, and the first thing I did was say, “Thank you, universe.”

My message to everyone is, keep believing. Try and live your life in a positive way, replace as many negative thoughts with positive thoughts as you can, and remember to be grateful for whatever you have now. Thanks for reading, and I look forward to reading your good news story.
