I come from a middle class family. We always had food on the table even though my parents struggled. We all had to grow up quick in our family but we were never without a house over our head or food on the table. I was the first in my family to go to college. I had suffered from depression and bullying ever since I was a child and every now and then I would suffer a bout of depression. I finished college with a struggle and I was working in a job that made me totally miserable. One day I made a decision that would change my life…

My brother had a business and as a consquence of a messy divorce this business was all he had and it was declining. I made a snap decision that I would return home to the family and help him with his business. I did and no matter how hard we tried we ended up closing up the shop in January. My brother despaired, he felt he had nothing in life and he could not get a job anywhere. In his desperation he got a job from his ex wife, not an easy thing for him to accept at the time.

Meanwhile I read in a magazine about this book called The Secret and I disregarded it as hookey nonsence! However this book would stay on my mind for the next month and one day I said it to my brother who suggested that maybe I should just go and read the back of it and see what I thought. He drove me to the bookstore and as soon as I had the book in my hand I had this overwhelming thought to buy it!!! My brother liked the sound of it too and I bought him the audio book.

While the both of us listened we underwent a transformation like no other before. I became so positive and I haven’t felt depressed since. I stopped hating people and even when someone does something that upsets me I try to see the good in them. My friendships are the purest that I have ever come accross and I have lost 5 stone in weight without any effort really on my part. I am happy! My brother continued to work for his ex wife and sold his car and some items of his and went for a visa in Canada and got it! He is now working as a blocklayer and has so much work that he has no time to think of missing home! He has an apartment now and is living with his best friend and is generally more happy. He got me to put The Secret and The Power on his iPod so he could continue to listen when he was away! We are both so happy because of these two little books, imagine a book changing your life? Isn’t it amazing??

I now work in an office job and am making my mind up on whether to travel or not. I know either way that when I get clear on what I want the law of attraction will provide for me… I am so grateful for The Secret, it has changed my life forever, and the best thing about it is, I’m in control of my own destiny!
