Hard times, The Secret changed that.

IcelandAn 18 year old girl who loves The Secret and brings it everywhere with her!
I went to Italy as an exchange student in September 2008. I didn’t really think about how hard it really could be and just thought I am going to have a great time!
But I had a family that I wasn’t happy with at all and I was really homesick. The only thing I wanted was to go back home to Iceland and every day I cried and called my parents to told them how badly I wanted to go back home! Then my mom sent me The Secret and after I finished reading the book everything changed. I started to believe that AFS would find me another family and I was going to finish my 10 months in Italy! I was not going to go back home to Iceland until I finished!!
In few weeks I was told that I could live with a girl, Irene. She was 21 years old and had been an exchange student in Norway a few years ago. I was so HAPPY and after that everything went so much better. I started to really enjoy being in Italy and stopped thinking about what I was missing in Iceland. I made really close friends and started to appreciate how lucky I was being there in a foreign country living my life!
Of course there were times when everything was harder and I was homesick and missed everything, but then I read The Secret again and felt so much better. The key was never stop believing in yourself and don’t lose the faith!
When I came to Italy I was 67 kg and didn’t like that at all, but what I didn’t know was I could use The Secret to lose the weight, and I did that! In February I said to myself I am going to come home and be 58 kg. I started to eat healthy and working out in the gym. When I went home 5 July 2009 I was 56 kg! Nobody could believe how great I looked because usually people gain weight when they’re an exchange student. I didn’t because I knew The Secret!
I have many other stories I could write about how I have used The Secret and how it has helped me in so many ways, but that would be a little too much writing 🙂
In other words THANK YOU ALL The Secret team! I will never stop using this book and I love it with all my heart!
The key is to NEVER EVER stop believing because it will happen to you!!
