Hi everyone! I have been reading your stories for a while now, and tonight, I decided to share some of my own; I hope you like them and that they inspire you as much as yours have inspired me.

I believe that I started using The Secret many years ago without knowing it really existed. I have this memory of when I was very, very little, probably 3 or 4 years old! I remember watching cartoons, and I remember this commercial about the opening of the Tower of Terror at Disney. I was so amazed by it. I had my eyes wide open, and I couldn’t take them away from the TV; it was like it was the only thing that existed for a few seconds. I remember thinking about how much fun that would be and feeling so excited about going there one day.

At that moment, I lived in my home country, very far away from Orlando, and my family didn’t have a lot of money, so going to Disney, of course, was not possible. That’s what I think an adult would have said to me if I told them about my dream of going to Disney to the Tower of Terror. But at that age, I didn’t think about that; I didn’t think about the difficulties or the money that would be needed; I just dreamed and felt so happy imagining it. And I believe that’s one of the things The Secret teaches us: not to focus on the difficulties, to focus on that dream or goal, and to feel as if we have already achieved it.

Fast forward. I have been living two hours away from Disney for almost ten years now and have been there countless times!
This is just one of the many stories I have to share, and I would like to share a couple more with you.

Since I was little, I dreamed about modeling. Again, when I was little, I lived in a different country and a very small town, very far away from the places I am going to talk about. I started when I was a teenager, taking modeling classes at a local modeling school, but I lived in a town where there was not really a lot of modeling work. Anyway, I used to watch this show where they do modeling contests every now and then, and I remember picturing myself on the show talking to the host. This show was in a city 6 hours away from where I lived, and you would think you had to live there to be considered to be in it, and that was what I thought at the time. But I did not let that stop me. I went to their website many times, and after looking at it many, many times, I found this very small link that said something like “for models,” and it was an email address. So I sent some of my photos and information. They replied back to me the next day saying thank you and we will contact you if we ever want you to be one of our models. That was not exactly a very promising answer. And this was before I watched The Secret!

I like picturing the things I want to achieve because it makes me feel really good and happy! I can’t describe it! So that’s what I did. I would dream and picture myself on that show. About six months later, I got a call from the producer, and she said that I was being considered for an upcoming modeling show! After that day, I would call and check with them every week, even a couple of days a week. I knew I had to be persistent because I was just being considered, and there were probably many other girls being considered as well, so I made sure they remembered me. At the same time, I would picture being next to the host and being there, having a great time doing what I loved.

And guess what!? Not only did they select me, but they paid for all my expenses for an entire week: the place where I stayed, my plane ticket, food, transportation, just everything!

It was shortly after that when I watched The Secret, and I was in shock, knowing that I had already been applying it in my life. Now that I knew more about it, I could keep using it and make my life a very happy one, achieving all my goals and dreams. So, I used it with a different show I wanted to be on, and it happened!

In this show, I pictured one of the hosts saying something very specific to me, something he couldn’t possibly say to anyone else, and it happened: the very same thing I had pictured him saying. It was crazy, and I couldn’t believe it, but it happened, and it was all because I had used The Secret. I took action and firmly believed that I would achieve these things.

Another very important thing that I did to achieve this one goal was assuming that I had already made it on the show, and I was talking about it. A couple of months before the auditions, I was planning a trip to my home country, and I was going to be back just a week before the audition. I knew if I made it, I was going to be out of work for a couple of weeks, shooting in a different country. So before I even went to the first audition, I told my boss that after I got back from my trip, I was going to be working for a week, and then I had to leave for a modeling event the week after, and I was going to be out of town for another two weeks or three. This was months before I even auditioned for it with hundreds of other girls!

And that is exactly what happened! I came back from my trip, worked for a week, auditioned, made it, and was out of work for a couple of weeks!

I have so many more stories to share, but I don’t want to make this too long for you. Some of them include getting jobs I always wanted, being in this specific magazine as a featured model, winning specific contests, meeting certain people, making a specific amount of money, taking vacations, getting promoted, and seeing people I hadn’t seen in a long time! And there are so many more! I use The Secret for small and big goals, and it always works when I apply it the right way.

I will keep using this fantastic, life-changing principle that The Secret teaches for my future goals and dreams. I am so grateful for this! I want to thank Rhonda Byrne with all my heart for sharing this with the world and bringing so much happiness and joy to all who have seen the DVD or read the book and applied it to their lives. Thank you to all of you who have written your stories here. They truly inspire me, so thank you, thank you, thank you!! I hope I can return that by sharing my stories and inspiring other readers, too.
