I felt grateful for learning about The Secret. I had read the book and watched the documentary as well. I wanted to try The Secret with a small thing in order to develop my belief in it.

One night I went to a friend’s place for dinner and as usual, locked my apartment with my house keys which had a key fob and a “tooth-smiley” keychain my dentist-girlfriend gave me. I was very sleepy when I returned home and had some serious thoughts that occupied my mind. My housemate unlocked the door and then I just happened to check my pocket for my house keys and I couldn’t find them.

I felt bad because of what was going on in my mind and also because I lost my keys. I went back to my housemate’s car and kept searching on my way to the car. I thought my keys might have been dropped from my pocket while entering or exiting the car. I searched the entire car, front seats, back seats, and every corner in the car. I also called my friend whose house I visited for dinner and requested him to search for them at his place. Sadly, he didn’t find them either.

I returned to my room sulking about it. I kept looking for my house keys in my room and pants pockets but didn’t find them. What bothered me more was the fact that we had to vacate the apartment within the next one and a half months, and I’d have to pay a fine of over 100 USD for the lost keys and key fob.

I then realized that The Secret says that “feeling” is very important. I didn’t want to have any negative feelings about it so I chose to change how I felt and went to sleep. The next day I thought to myself that this would be a great chance for me to manifest something small and build my belief in The Secret. I searched for tips online for manifesting lost items with the law of attraction and found a story on The Secret website called, “Lost Items Are Never Really Lost.” The story writer said that they needed to believe that the item was not lost. So, I said something like, “The Universe has found my keys, and it is just a matter of time before it reveals the keys to me.” I visualized the keys, the tooth-smiley keychain in my hand, and felt good about it. I imagined myself using my house keys to unlock the apartment and opening up the garage door while feeling happy about it. I put that out into the Universe and got on with my life, having complete faith that the Universe would handle it for me. I felt positive about it and felt grateful for everything I had.

Today, with less than two weeks left to vacate, I found my keys on the kitchen counter when I woke up this morning! They were right there as if the Universe placed them there for me. I was ecstatic! My housemate was moving out the previous night and had found my keys under the sofa. That was completely unexpected since I do not recall sitting there when I returned home on the night I lost them. It just felt like magic happened and I was grateful for having found my keys.

This experience has taught me to trust the Universe and be grateful for every small thing that I have. The Secret works and now I’m super excited to use it to manifest even bigger things in my life. I hope my testimony helps you believe in The Secret and that you use the power of the Universe to get what you desire.
