The most amazing thing is that I got hold of The Secret even before I saw the movie or read the book. I was at the dentist’s office when I first heard about it. My aunt is a dentist and one of those positive people who have this insatiable desire for self-improvement. We haven’t seen each other for a while and I was telling her about all that has happened in my life. Well, as usual it was all about my successes at work and career, and she said, “You cannot call yourself truly happy without personal life,” and I told her that I am still looking for that special someone. She said she knows something that I definitely should do to find him. She told me to write down about my life as if it already is as I imagine, all successes and achievements, but also to describe precisely that special someone.

I did that one fine morning. Took my time to write a journal entry that I thought could never be possible. I wrote how me and my imaginary special someone would have same interests, how we would always be n’sync and truly complement each other. And for the moment I believed it could be true. But I completely forgot about that entry.

Time went by so fast and in two month I was boarding on a plane to get my dream job. But I failed to keep it and was stuck in my hometown for 3 months, unable to leave as my father signed me up for a drivers license course. I thought that was the worst that could happen! I was beginning to fall into that small town routine, wondering why someone should choose to stay here anyways.

In the meantime I got a proposal from my sister to film a movie as a project for her admission to arts school. I was entitled to write a script. Writing was never a problem for me and I took my task with enthusiasm and passion. The film was about modern dance, young people, and love. I barely had an outline when my sister said that she met a guy who could introduce us to the dance teams of the town. I had nothing in mind when I agreed to meet that guy in a café in the evening.

When I entered the hall I was surprised by the number of people there. For me it was quite challenging to try to persuade the dancers to take part in our project, but I guess he had an authority with them and my main challenge was to persuade him. Did I even think that I was trying to make an impression on my future husband; of course it never crossed my mind. I was helping my sister and she was quite pleased with the results. I thought, well, that phase of my little town life will be over soon and I will be back to my busy life in the city.

But I knew nothing about the powers of The Secret back then. We started filming the next day. It was all quite spontaneous and I had no idea how to organize people, I looked at him as a source of support, and we became great friends. I was thinking that all those qualities that he possesses I wished for my special one to have. But it never entered my mind that it could be him.

In a month I got back to work and there has been nothing that reminded me of that experience, but nevertheless I just thought that we could be great friends and that is what I was actually wishing for. But it turned out differently. Quite unexpectedly we have found soul mates in each other, and have fallen in love, and those friendship bonds that we had made us even closer. Every single day we were apart we wrote letters.

A year went by and we moved in together, and I was reading my journal entries one day and was amazed by how true that description came out. I have described my life that I am living right now a year ago. And one time walking in the park we looked at the stars and I told him the story of how I wanted to meet someone exactly like him. And he exclaimed: “Oh, I know what you are talking about, you should watch The Secret!”

That is how I experienced the powers of The Secret before I actually watched it.

We are happy together now and going to get married. And I would like to thank Rhonda for spreading The Secret across the world. I want to inspire others to believe that there is a way to find that special someone.
