The Secret came to me when I needed it most. School was just starting and I was miserable and hating my life. I was the only one of my friends not in a happy relationship, I was dreading school, and fighting with my family. My friend mentioned The Secret a few weeks earlier, saying that I could have whatever I wanted in life, no matter how ridiculous it may seem. I literally rolled my eyes at her and told her she was acting like an idiot.

Then one day I was crying because I was so angry about something silly, my class schedule, when I remembered what my friend had said. I went on Youtube to see if The Secret was on there. I doubted it was, because rarely there are full movies on that site. But there was the first 20 minutes! I watched it and was hooked.

2 days later I watched the whole movie with my friend who had suggested it. She told me her success story, and I was amazed. I had been so jealous of her lately – she had two amazing guys in love with her, straight As, and tons of friends. Now I knew why I had envied her, and I could be like that too if I tried.

I listed everything I was grateful for, and everything I wanted, I came up with gratitude bracelets (a fashionable version of gratitude rocks), I created a vision board, and I visualized what I wanted.

Days later I got the job I had been wanting (they hired me, an inexperienced 16 year old, over almost 40 other applicants), and my schedule turned out great. I began to love school again. I attracted the healthy, clear skin I wanted. But one thing was missing – the perfect guy. I painted myself with him like in that story about the Feng Shui consultant, I made a list of all his great qualities, I made a list of all my great qualities and why he would be grateful to have me, I stopped wearing necklaces and made room in my jewelry box for the locket he would get me for our anniversary, and I thought about everything I loved so as to fill myself with love and become a magnet. Then I met the perfect guy. He makes me laugh, is great with my friends, romantic, and attractive. He’s what I’ve been waiting for.

Thank you so much for The Secret. I feel I can have whatever I want and nothing is out of my reach.
