Living the Truth
Submitted by: Cassandra Valentino
Chicago, ILI am a full time student, mother, and work in sales. I am a United States Marine Corps Veteran, a member of the Oneida Tribe of Wisconsin and I live everyday to the fullest!
I want to say thank you first off to everyone who has made The Secret available to everyone! This is truly an amazing thing.
I have always known there was something about the way things presented themselves in my life. Before the Secret, though, I thought it just luck.
I grew up a happy child. I always had everything I need and most of what I wanted. I made goals and completed them. I got good grades in school, applied to and got into one of the best H.S, worked hard and became a Marine, and was presented with many eagle feathers from my Native community (the highest honor I could have received).
Of course problems arose in my life, but I was always able to deal with them quickly and effectively. I believe I always knew the Secret.
I came across the book through my best friend, who was reading it in 2009. I had gone through a bad break up and had become a single mother, something I never though would happen. It was so bad I did not want to get out of bed to take care of my son. That was the rock bottom for me. She saw this and offered me her copy of the Secret.
I started reading it and couldn’t stop. It was so uplifting and made perfect sense. I immediately turned my frowns into smiles and told myself I could do and have anything I wanted. Of course it took sometime for me to see all the good coming back but it was.
After the break up I had felt it was impossible to accomplish anything. But in a matter of months after reading The Secret, I was enrolled in school and instead of paying for it I was making tons of money doing it.
I had gone in to inquire about my dream car and left with the keys in my hand driving home.
I was thrilled. I had all good things happen to me.
Then, after two and a half years of getting my things in order, and completely satisfied with everything in my life, I wanted a relationship with the man of my dreams. So I put all my energy into making room for him. I cleared off the passenger seat of my car and imagined him there. I imagined cooking for him and coming home to talk with him and felt the love. I imagined he would love my son as I did. I imagined a beautiful like of happiness. I also imagined us living anywhere but Chicago. I love the city but I wanted to move most of all.
After a few months, I met Paul. He was wonderful and we became really close friends right away. After 10 months we decided to date and now I am moving to Hawaii with him. It is so beautiful and I am so happy and excited. We get along perfectly.
Life is just amazing. Things have worked out perfectly. I am exactly where I want to be and I will keep using The Secret tools from the website and the books to keep creating the life I want. The world truly is a canvas and I am taking full advantage.
