I Owe My Life To The Secret.

It was August 2010 when I first read the book.
I was a 21 year old boy who had big dreams but was very introverted and no confidence at all. When I first came across The Secret I was desperately looking for something like it to bring some change in my life. The Secret also said that you are reading this book because you have attracted it. Yes! I did attract The Secret to me and that’s why I just blindly started following it.
Then I decided to attract something I really wanted but was very difficult to get. At that time I had a mobile handset which was the first revolutionary phone by a well known mobile company. I loved that handset but mine was second hand. It was an old phone and it’s production had been ended by the company. I decided I wanted a brand new model of that handset. It was next to impossible because the production had already stopped years ago. But I believed in The Secret and decided to attract it.
I used to watch The Secret Movie every day and was trying to figure out how to attract it. Initially nothing happened for a couple of months. Then one day while watching The Secret I understood that I am doing it all wrong. What I was doing was hoping and believing that I will have the brand new handset in future. But according to The Secret, that was the wrong way to attract anything.
Then, instead, I decided to feel grateful for that old second hand handset of mine and I was trying to assume and feel that this is the brand new phone. It was actually a nice feeling.
For the next fifteen days nothing happened. But then one of my roommates asked me a favor. He wanted me to pick up his brother from a bus stop very far from our place. So I said OK as he was really busy in college stuff. I went to that bus stop but found out that he would be late and I would have to wait for an hour or so.
It wasn’t a crowded place, but at the extreme corner of the road was a mobile shop which I thought would be nice place to kill the time. I went there and parked my bike in front of the shop and I started chatting with the shopkeeper. He was actually busy doing inventory of his products. The moment he realized that I was just passing time he went back to his inventory.
I thought of showing some interest and inquired about some newly launched handsets. I didn’t ask him about my Handset because I thought he may have never even heard of it.
But then suddenly I saw something. The shopkeeper and his assistant were doing inventory of the mobile handsets from an old shop they had won in a bid. And I saw a brand new packed box of my handset in the inventory material.
Goosebumps all over my body!!
I was thrilled by that visual. Gathering my excitement, I asked him about that box. He said it was a very old phone he had never heard of it before. I was jumping on my feet and praised The Secret!
I got my new packed, brand new handset for hardly any cost!
That experience changed my life. That was probably the only brand new piece available on earth at that time and when I look at the probability of me getting it, it was amazing. I think it’s fine to mention the name as it’s production stopped, so it won’t be like I am marketing that product. The name of the handset was Nokia N-Gage Classic. The production stopped back in 2002. In India it was a rare mobile at that time.
There is nothing impossible with the law of attraction and it was all law of attraction.
I started following the law in every aspect of my life. I became more confident. I prepared my wish list and I started attracting small and big things together. In the last four years after experiencing the power of the law of attraction I have done a lot in my life. I am living in a house which I wanted to be in, I joined an MNC company for two years, then established my own business, a Recruitment Firm: GratitudeStone Solutions. The name is also influenced The Secret.
Now I am heading towards my biggest dream of becoming a filmmaker.
I see myself four years ago and I see my life now, and it is a tremendous change. It was all possible because of The Secret. Thatâs why I said I owe my life to The Secret.
