I am 24 and I have always been a very sensitive person. I am really good at helping others and providing positive advice to them. However, when it comes to myself, I easily put myself down, think badly of myself, and blame myself. I have been reading The Secret nearly every day for the last year. Some days I am really positive and have a great day, other days I let negative situations take over and can forget about The Secret for a while.

Recently I had been feeling upset. My boyfriend had recently broken up with me which left me blaming myself, only for me to realize that I was not the only one who made mistakes.
Anyway, today I was sitting thinking about everything that has gone wrong in my life and then thinking about all the things that are currently going bad in my life when I realized how ungrateful I was being. I then started to think about all the wonderful things The Secret has given me and I realized how grateful I should really be.

In January I received my own flat, which I had asked the Universe for. I had been living with my family, we were overcrowded and I desperately needed my own space. I applied for my own place just before Christmas. Usually, it can take a few years to receive a house or a flat in my area. I told the Universe where I wanted to live and at the start of January I was offered my flat just where I had asked for it!

My flat is amazing! I am beside my family, my friends come and visit me all of the time and I am so happy living with my cat. I didn’t have a lot of money for moving in though I received so much help from generous people, housing charities, and my family and friends. My flat has really come together thanks to all of the help I received. I love it!

Also, I had always wanted to be a veterinary nurse but I had always put myself down, telling myself that I was not smart enough. Then I decided that I was going to do it and that I was going to succeed. I have just been accepted into college to study my higher qualifications for two years and I know after that I will get into a University and qualify as a veterinary nurse.

I was feeling lost and asked the Universe to give me a job that I love, working with animals, and guess what?! I have just started a job, working with animals, and I love it! There is so much learning involved and it is going to help me with my university degree. I am working on being a stronger person every day!

I hope my story inspires people like myself to remember all the things you have to be grateful for and that The Secret does work. You are surrounded by love. Never give up on your dreams.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
