Edmonton, ABJust want to share my story to those of you who still have doubts in The Secret.
I consider myself to be a very lucky person. I have a wonderful family, great friends, I do very well in school and other social activities. However, I had never been very satisfied with my body. I was pretty chubby. I had always wanted to have a skinny body like models or singers. I used to hate my body because I thought I looked horrible in casual clothes. I thought I can never have a boyfriend because I was not pretty enough. I tried diets, pills, or anything that can help me to lose weights. I failed so many times that I basically gave up and told myself that I’d never have the body I wanted.
About a year ago, I got a chance to watch The Secret Movie. After that, I looked for the book and read it. It was a huge inspiration for me. I suddenly realized that I was focusing too much on the things I don’t want, like my old body. I decided that I have to take actions for my own life, my own body. I sat down and wrote on a piece of paper about the body that I wanted. I wrote about how I’d like my body to be, what types of clothes I’d wear. I described that image of myself in details and I could feel the feeling of having it in that moment.
A few days later, I felt like I wanted to go for a jog. I did not enjoy exercising that much and I always gave up after a few mins. But on that day, I wanted to exercise. I actually wanted to do that, I didn’t have to force myself. I went jogging for an hour that day. I was exhausted but I was very happy and I felt refreshed. After that day, I started working out more and more. I didn’t want to look pretty, I wanted to be fit and strong and healthy. Exercising was not a nightmare anymore. I enjoyed every moment I got to be in the gym or go for a run.
Within 2 months, my body started to change. I lost 20lbs. I didn’t change my diet much, I just added some more vegetable to my meal because I wanted to be healthier. I could feel that I’ve become stronger and stronger. I also look great. The best part is that thanks to those days of exercising, I got to join in my sporty activities with my friends, including my current boyfriend. He was very impressed with my fitness and love for sports (I do love sports). We went to the gym together and a month later we started dating. Everything in my life just became more and more perfect. Every night before I went to bed, I thank Buddha (I’m a Buddhist) for everything I have in my life and a feel very very grateful about it.
That is my little story. I just want to thank Rhonda and all the people who worked to help spread The Secret all around the world, what helped me and others achieve what makes us happy. For those of you who just started, I just want to say that your thoughts can give you anything you want as long as you believe in your ability to achieve it.
