I started reading The Secret less than a year ago. Someone that has now a big place in my life introduced me to it. My life wasn’t bad before The Secret but I was really stressed about money, relationships and work. I wasn’t where I wanted to be. I didn’t feel happy all the time but I wanted to. Was a single mom, had a job in which I wasn’t valued, my life felt like a constant fight. My self-confidence was very low. Always questioning myself, am I doing this right? Is this the right decision? Am I good enough?

I started reading the book with no expectations. It was like trying something new. I told myself: “What do you have to lose anyway, can’t hurt can it?” Took me a bit to finish the book as I didn’t want to rush it. I wanted to do things right. I remember that bit where it says how you need to change your negative thoughts into positives one every single time. Forcing your mind to think positive instead of focusing on what is wrong. You don’t realize how your mind constantly picks up on negative things, it’s crazy! So I tried, it was hard but it taught me how to let go of negative things that I would get stuck on for hours before. Like little things: someone bumping into you in the street or some work issues or people that constantly disappoint you or do you wrong. It taught me that I have great things in my life. The more I thought about the great things in my life the more they kept coming to me. Like overflowing me with nice things. Little things that make your day better. Every time I was starting to get angry or annoyed about something I would say to myself, “Why does it matter? Why am I letting this getting in the way of my happiness? I am just going to get over it.” And I did. What an amazing feeling!

There is something that is now an everyday ritual: being grateful for my life at all times. Every morning I open my eyes and I am grateful and every night I close my eyes and I am grateful. Let me now tell you how my life changed in a few months:

I was a single mom, struggling a bit. Didn’t really want to trust anyone with anything. Went to work every day because I needed to. I hate that word now, “need”. As soon as I started doing what The Secret told me to do, everything changed. My life started to fall into place. I am with a great man now that takes care of me and my daughter. We don’t argue. We are partners. My relationship is the perfect relationship for me. My love tank is filled. He is my best friend, I can talk to him about anything and everything. He gets it, you know? We are in it together. I have never had that before, didn’t even think it existed as people had me believe that my wishes were out of line. We always say that the Universe is with us. I make myself happy and he makes it better. He is one of those guys that is a man, a real one. When I look at how we met more than a year ago, I realize he was put on my path for a reason. We are soulmates. I love that word soulmates. It’s like our souls met a long time ago and the mate bit came in at the time it was supposed to.

I got a new job, an amazing one. I stopped listening to people that always said I wouldn’t be able to make it and that some dreams would always stay dreams. I say no, my dreams are my reality.

The Secret helped me realize how everything is abundance and I can have it too! My favorite things to tell myself are: I am rich, I can afford it. I am thankful for my life. I fully live the present and my future looks amazing because of that. I am now stress free and richer than I have ever been. I ask for it and I get it. I ask for the right tube to come when I am waiting at a platform and it does. Everything falls into place.

We were looking for a flat 2 months ago. We started looking before going on a week long holiday and it didn’t go as we wanted it to. So we told ourselves, let’s just go on holiday and when we come back I’ll get a job offer. We’ll find a flat and a new school for my daughter. Believe it or not but that’s what happened in that exact order. Got the job offer on a Monday, the flat on a Thursday, and school is in process and looking good.

I am happy, every day, all the time. I am thankful for the love I receive. I am confident the future will be great and I can’t wait to continue this life The Secret has helped me create.
