I am a student at University of California. I am pretty smart but not hardworking. I realized lately, who needs to work hard if you can make the whole universe work in your favor.

I have been applying “The Secret” in my life for about 4 months now. Everything just seems so much better. I am happier and I have hope. Where I used to see a glass half empty (knowingly or unknowingly), now I see it as FULL (not half full) but FULL, because we need to feel abundant to get what we want.

I have many examples of when I think about someone they call. Or little things like if I am in a good mood, everything around me just seems to go better, but I needed real proof in my life to KEEP believing in The Secret because, even though my life was better, I was wondering if it is just because of how my perception has changed or whether I really have started receiving everything I want.

So I had two back to back midterms on Wednesday. I was supposed to start studying but I didn’t feel like it, so I kept delaying it until I just had 4 hours left. I woke up thinking, I don’t care how the universe does it, I have to get A’s this quarter (knowing quite well that I haven’t even studied). I kept thinking, the worst thing that can happen is me failing my midterms, and at least I will know not to depend on “The Secret” for the rest of my life.

I went into my first exam. It was so easy that the stuff I had studied for a little appeared on my exam sheet. I was jumping up and down inside mentally. Then I started wondering about my second midterm, the one I had ABSOLUTELY NO idea about… how will the universe manage that? AND my goodness, the universe is a genie…

The professor told us that the exam is open book, i.e. I could use my laptop. The question he gave was from the practice test and just changing around the numbers, did my work for me.

I came out of the class calling my best friends and sharing this with them- “Guys, you know how we wanted proof that The Secret works? Well I have no doubt left that it does. GUESS WHAT?! I ACED MY MIDTERMS WITHOUT EVEN STUDYING too much!!!”

I am not waiting to see the result to know that I did well, because I already know. I believe it!

Every time, I don’t feel positive, I come on this site and read stories. Seriously, uplifting. Another thing that I discovered that helps maintain the positive attitude is music. Associate good feelings with good music, smells, tastes and people. Do small things that make you happy. Don’t suppress your happy feelings, because like money earns money, happiness that we let into our lives, brings more happiness.

This is not my last story. I have a story written that I will send in about 2 yrs from now. It’s for bigger stuff like a ring on my finger, a car, my dream job etc. But I have that letter typed up already. Because I know I will get all that as well.
