The Secret has always worked for me. I come from a family of 10. I am the youngest child. I’ve been verbally and emotionally abused by my entire family. I was treated like a servant. I was not allowed to have friends, phone calls, or activities outside of the house. My only friend was my dear diary.

As I grew into a young adult, my self esteem was non-existent. I walked into several abusive relationships, one after another. I’ve been harassed by counselors, teaches, customers, and bosses. I’ve been tormented and betrayed by friends. My life was a failure. I can’t even begin to describe my feeling of despair inside.

I didn’t see a will to live anymore. I hated myself. I hated my life. I was close to the brink of suicide. Just one more incident and I was ready to end my life.

But deep inside me, there was always a voice, a feeling of hope. I felt that if I can just get through this, I will be okay, that this is only temporary, that one day I will become an awesome woman who can achieve all her dreams and goals. Every time I lost hope, I kept “feeling” and “knowing” that things will work out. “It’ll happen, I just know it, I just know it.”

Today, at the age of 33, I am a grateful young woman with a successful career, a wonderful boyfriend, surrounded by lots of caring friends, and my family is so nice to me now. I have a wonderful vision to be an entrepreneur and wish to have a positive impact on society.

I know the Secret works, I know it, I know it. I am grateful and I look forward to more great changes.
