The Secret has been the key to finding my happiness and always will be. I first discovered this book/movie in my teens and high school years. I was a happy kid growing up but I did have my share of negative mindset too. I always used to blame things happening because of my bad luck. I had no idea I was attracting certain situations. My mother gave me the book and after reading one page I couldn’t put it down and finished it within a couple of hours. Then I watched the movie. For months I was on a “Secret high”, telling everyone and anyone about it. Most didn’t listen, but the ones who mattered most to me gave it a chance and their lives ended up changing for the better, too.

Over the years I would not always consistently follow through with it, but I would manifest big and small things here and there. For example, going on a trip to Disney world with my family and best friend, manifesting the most amazing dad for my sister and I, and the perfect husband for my mother. Pursuing my dream of acting and having the courage to take a class and change my major to theatre in college. And, having the most amazing, loving, caring, supporting, best friends and family in the world.

Over the summer I hit a rough patch, my dog who was my best friend of 13 years, passed away suddenly and it tore my world apart. If it had not been for my family and best friend Emily, I would have completely been lost. But soon things started to change for the better when I came back to school in September. There was a play that I got the courage to audition for when I had never auditioned for anything in my life. I wasn’t even sure I was going to do it. I read the play the day before auditions. I ended up getting cast! I am the only female lead in a five person play. I am beyond ecstatic. I really, really wanted this role. I have not done a play in years and it will help me step out of my comfort zone.

I know if I keep being positive and grateful and visualizing, things will turn out great with this play and the experiences and people it brings. I love my life and everyone in it. I couldn’t be happier! And I know I will always be happy and so will my loved ones. Thank you to The Secret team for bringing this blessing into my life. And from the lyrics of my favorite song, may you live by these words: “When you’re happy like a fool, let it take you over. When everything is out. You gotta take it in”.
