I can change the world.

Coventry, England.I am a college student whose life has blossomed through The Secret. I left my country a year ago to attend the university of my dreams. A woman is like a tea bag - you never know how strong she is until she's in hot water - Eleanor Roosevelt.
I’d like to express my deepest gratitude to Rhonda Byrne and the Secret Team – my saviours. Warning: long story here. haha
My story begins three years back. I was 16 years old when I was introduced to The Secret. I had been with an abusive boyfriend for a year. He was so possessive about me that he had wreaked havoc in my life. We would fight everyday and he used to involve my parents which would just deteriorate the situation. I was advised a million of times by my loved ones to leave him but I was young and naive and weak. I could not imagine my life without him. Everything was falling apart. I, who’ve been bubbly and smiling girl my whole life, was sinking into depression. My relationship with my parents was chaotic and i would cry myself to sleep every night. I had stooped so low that self – mutilation was the only relief.
Then one day, a friend of mine told me about a book he read and he was ECSTATIC! Funny thing is, I had been at a relative’s house two weeks before I met that friend and there, my uncle had been talking about this amazing book called The Secret. It is strange because I never listened to adults’ conversations but I happened to hear just that part.
When I got back home i forgot about it and that’s when my parents announce: “we will be visiting your uncle this week – end!” And so, I got my uncle lending me his copy of The Secret and, I could not believe what I knew. How badly did I need this book for the LOA to send it my way so fast?
I got the juice up to dump my negative (now ex-) boyfriend. My grades shoot up in one month. I was ranked 1st in the Economics stream at a national level. My parents and I have never got along so well. I healed from chronic depression. I went from a lonely person to one who is always surrounded by the most faithful friends on Earth. I have never felt so confident in my life. I obtained a full scholarship to study in my dream college. I have the most adorable guy ever as boyfriend. And most important: happiness never leaves me.
Today, I have my very own copies of The Secret, The Power and The Magic lying on my desk. I am a firm believer in the law of attraction. The books are awesome but I believe that what helped me the most was “an attitude of gratitude”. When you start shifting this selfish attitude of not having enough to being more than grateful for what you already have, your life will be transformed. I express my gratitude until my eyes well up.
If I can, you can too. Just believe. 😀
