Lost It All And The Secret Rescued Me

Submitted by: Arafat Ssendagala

United Kingdom

My name is Arafat Ssendagala, born and raised in Uganda (E.Africa) but have lived and studied in UK for the last 6 years. iIm the oldest of 2 sisters and 4 brothers.

Earlier this year I was invited by a family friend to join them for a few weeks in America, which I gladly responded to the invite since I had nothing going for me at home. My life had been followed by a series of unfortunate events; I lost my job some time in February, I was a victim of identity theft and had been arrested and investigated regarding fraud related issues as a result, I had just been evicted from my flat due to a huge misunderstanding with my council landlords. In short, I had nothing else left. I had reached rock bottom and had nothing else to look forward to here.

I arrived in America a few weeks later and stayed with the family, a lovely family and had a great time in their family home. It was here after I had a rather uncomfortable discussion with my host in which I went through my terrible ordeal the last couple months. I was then introduced to The Secret to draw some inspiration. I had never heard of The Secret before and this was my first time I watched the DVD. I must say I was very fascinated with the content and watched it a few more times that week. I vowed to change my life.

A few weeks later I returned to England a changed man. I was motivated by both the people I met on my trip and what I learned from The Secret. Still I didn’t know how I was going to use The Secret but knew I had to try. I wanted to turn my life around.

I have been back in England 3 weeks now and have been applying for jobs but with little luck. I was getting responses apologising that this time I had been unsuccessful. I then applied to one other specific vacancy and was lucky to be selected for an interview the following day (today).

So last night I watched The Secret again and again and then watched The Secret to You video and this time I understood it. I then promised myself that this was it, this was my chance, this day of the interview is the new beginning of my life. That I see good things coming to me, I convinced myself that I was going to be offered the job at the interview, and that I will start on Monday. I envisioned myself in that work uniform, waking up everyday to go to work, etc and made myself feel as if I had already got the job. I focussed solely on what I wanted, to get the job today and nothing else. When I woke up in the morning I watched The Secret one more time before I went for the interview. I asked, believed and received and consumed my whole thoughts with feelings of how I would feel today after the interview.

I tell you what, today the Universe has responded to my thoughts, I got offered the job and am starting on Monday. I can’t tell you how delighted I am that The Secret is setting me on a new path.

I will continue to use The Secret and am on the mission to get my life back on track, the job, my flat, and a whole lot of health, happiness and prosperity. Yes I deserve it all, I deserve to be happy, and i will take from my endless catalogue which is the Universe.

I just want to thank my host family in America for introducing me to The Secret and thank you Universe.
