First, I would like to thank the entire “Secret” team. Thank you all so much for bringing this information to my attention. I can never thank you enough!
My story begins during my senior year of high school. I was always into music. I was the president of my high school’s choir, and sang in several different ensembles. I loved playing my guitar, and being on stage in front of people. Music was just in my blood at an early age.
At the time, my favorite band was a band called All Time Low from Towson, MD. Their energy on stage made me wish I could be up there with them, enjoying the roar of the crowd night after night.
About two years prior, my mother had purchased a copy of The Secret, and insisted that I read it. I got through maybe the first chapter, then completely forgot about it. Looking back now, I can see that I attracted all of this beauty into my life, and HOW I attracted it.
Reading my emails one day, I had discovered that All Time Low was going to be doing an acoustic set and autograph signing about an hour from my house. I had seen them once before, and thought.. “Hey, maybe I should ask them if I could play with them on stage”.
I graduated high school that next Wednesday. On Thursday, I drove down to my friend’s house, from which we went to the acoustic set. During the band’s set, I held up a sign, asking if I could play one of their songs with them. They brushed me off. I didn’t worry though. I was just so thankful that I was able to see my favorite band.
After the set, the band sat at a long table, signing autographs for all of their fans who had come to the show that day. When it was my turn to have my copy of their new CD signed, I had asked them again. Their drummer said to me “Sure, bro! If you know our music, we’ll pull you up on stage! I promise! We’ll get you up there with us!” This promise literally made me smile bigger than I thought was possible.
The next day, I had decided that I would make this a reality. I didn’t sleep a wink, so excited that all I would do was practice my guitar playing, and practice their song “Dear Maria, Count Me In,” so I didn’t screw up on stage!
The day was long, and when All Time Low played their set, I held up a HUGE sign, asking to play their most popular song with them. At the end of the set, Alex, their lead singer, pointed at me and told me to hop up on stage. I was absolutely in awe of the fact that I was able to do something that so few people would ever get to do. I was fortunate enough to have a friend of mine record the entire thing, and have since gotten almost 10,000 views on my YouTube video!
Not only did I play with my favorite band in front of FIVE THOUSAND PEOPLE, but I have since developed a good friendship with them. My heroes are now my friends, and that is one of the coolest feelings in the world!
Recently, my girlfriend, the love of my life, had left me. I instantly picked up a copy of The Secret DVD, and started to watch it every single day. I am currently using it to attract my girlfriend back into my life, so we can one day get married and start our family. When I started watching the DVD every night, I realized that EVERYTHING that has happened in my life is a result of all my thoughts and emotions. I had always known in my heart that I would play with this band, and I did. I know in my heart that her and I will be together again. I can not wait to write the story about how her and I are engaged and planning our wedding. I have such a great understanding for the Law of Attraction, and can not wait to live the life that I desire.
