SydneyI just moved to Australia from New Zealand. I am originally from South Africa. I am 19 years old and come from a lovely family who are so supportive.
It was the end of 2009 and I was finishing my last year of high school. The past few years had been alright, but I guess I was living on autopilot. At a few points in my life I felt like my life had come to complete darkness, and I remember thinking to myself, is this what my life is going to consist of? Complete depression. I even took some online depression tests, and results came back as high levels of depression. I had troubles with best friends, not getting along with my parents, and I was using alcohol to numb the pain. I remember crying at night thinking of what life would be like without me in it. I thought it would make everyone happier, but then I’d kill that thought because I never, ever wanted to be that selfish and take my own life away. I prayed and prayed that something good would come along and pull me out of this sadness pit.
Then, when all hope was lost, a friend recommended The Secret to me. I read it so fast and immediately it hit me. Each page I read brought tears to my eyes because I felt like it was talking directly to me. I read the teen version of The Secret. I got so into it. I was on top of the world for the first time in a long time. I think friends and family witnessing me would say I was a positive person. It actually worked for me. I then read the adult version of The Secret. It just rebooted my positivity again.
After a few months I noticed a decline in my happiness. Then the same friend that told me about The Secret told me about The Power. I LOVED it. To me, The Secret gets your thoughts on a better level of love. But The Power gets your feelings on a better level of love. I basically became an ambassador for The Secret and The Power. I have gotten most of my friends into it, and my family. It has been a blessing to us all. Whenever I’m feeling down these days, I can pull myself back up.
Thank you all sooooooo much. Words cannot explain how much gratitude I feel for this. I have found out so much about myself and this world from this book. If it weren’t for this book I don’t even want to imagine what my life would be. Thank you Rhonda Byrne so much, thank you, thank you, thank you. All my dreams lie ahead of me now, and I know I am on the right path in life. I have been wanting to personally thank Rhonda for this book. I also plan to buy a few of these books and just randomly post them to random addresses.
Oh yes, and if you were wondering about the alcohol thing. I now have a better control of my alcohol intake. My life is so great I don’t even need alcohol to make me happy. I love my life and I am grateful for it and everybody in it. My dreams are all coming true thanks to this. I send everyone out there my love. THANK YOU ALL! 🙂
