How The Secret Changed My Entire Life!

Submitted by: Marina

Italy

I am a girl who has received unwarranted hatred since childhood. Thanks to The Secret, I am now in the right place at the right time and I live in abundance. Believe it.

Dear Rhonda Byrne, I would like to share my story and much my life has changed thanks to The Secret.

I was born in a classic Italian village, in a humble and quite ignorant family. My mother has never liked me, she has always been cold with me. Since I was a child I have suffered because I could not create a bond with her. When I was 11 my mother left my father for another man and there my hell began. We went to live with this man and at first, it was all roses, but then he started hating me for no reason. He was yelling at me all day. He would spit at me and throw things at me. I sought help but my mother, a great manipulator, made all the people I asked for help believe that I was exaggerating.

One morning I ran away from home. I went to the social workers and they took me to a foster home where I stayed for a year. There, too, the situation was bitter and I did not want to be there. So I was sent back home to my mother. Actually, I wanted to live with my grandparents but the social workers told me that I could not. That turned out to be a  lie that lasted for years.

I was exasperated and at only 15 years of age, I had fallen into depression. I did not want to do anything anymore. I lived in a bubble where I could not feel what was outside. I felt like I had chains on my feet and I wanted to die. Every morning my mother and her partner screamed at me, telling me how I was such a failure to them. I did not want to eat. I just wanted to die and I attempted suicide several times.

Then one day, I don’t remember if I read something while I was browsing the internet, but I learned about the law of attraction. However, I did not want to believe it, so I did not even read it until the end. I was cynical about it. However, after having a glimpse of the law of attraction, something began to change for me. Maybe a part of me was hoping this was real and true just when I had lost hope.

In that same year, the social workers allowed me to spend the Christmas holidays with my grandparents. I had not set foot in my grandparents’ house for years! I had not seen Bari and his sea for years! And my aunt took me to buy the book, The Secret. I did not even know it existed or what it was about. From the cover, I was thinking that it had something to do with some boring story. I did not want it but my aunt insisted and then she bought it for me. That same evening I began to read it. I read it and reread it! Then I watched The Secret film. I watched it again and again, I don’t know how many times I watched it that week!

I wanted to stay there and live with my grandparents, where everyone showed me affection. Where the city was not gray and full of smog but colorful and smelled of sea salt! I wanted to stay there and live there, so I said to myself, “I will try, why not?”

After the holidays I went home to my mother and her partner who became more violent toward me because they did not want me to meet with my grandparents again. But I was happy and imagined staying at my grandparents’ house anyway. I believed it so much! Every day I got up and pretended to be there with them. I would hear their voices, and I imagined walking on the marble floor of their house. They told me it was impossible to go and live with my grandparents because the judge blamed them and my father, although it was not true.

When everything seemed impossible, I began to let it go, and my life changed in three days. On March 8, 2019, the social workers sent me to live permanently with my grandparents! Now I am reborn! You can’t imagine how happy I am to wake up every morning and how I can’t sleep in the evening because I am so impatient to live and experience the next day! Now all I do is get good grades in school. I am surrounded by people who love me and I get a lot of compliments every day. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I have been using The Secret ever since and I have attracted everything that I have asked for! I got a computer, clothes, lots of shoes, a nice room, great people, great circumstances, money, opportunities, and abundance in general. My dream is to become a model for now, while in the future I would like to become a Psychologist who helps shape the character of people. I would like to help people in my practice, like a personal trainer but a personal trainer for the mind.

Speaking of a modeling career, last month I attracted a person to shoot me for free so that I can send a photo book to various agencies. Isn’t that amazing? I had an instinct to call this person I had not seen in months. He was my kickboxing master and I knew he had a hobby doing photography. So I called him and proposed that we collaborate. He agreed and was very enthusiastic about it! How can I be luckier than that?

How can I thank you enough for sharing The Secret with me and the world? A wonderful thank you to Rhonda Byrne and her entire team. I also want to say thank you to Jack Canfield, Bob Proctor, and all the others in The Secret. Thank you very much. I wish you will share my story and I wish that I can help people!
