My First Miracle
Submitted by: Rebecca S.
Chicago, ILA student at DePaul University majoring in Vocal Performance, in hopes (and expectations) of becoming an international operatic soprano.
I first heard about The Secret from my mother. At first, I thought it had strong ties to Christianity, since she had heard about it from church. Since at the time I was very confused about religion, I didn’t feel a strong pull to explore The Secret. It took one of my best friends to get me really interested.
Having been raised a skeptic, I wasn’t so sure I could master The Secret easily. I decided to focus my thoughts onto something I wanted, but didn’t need desperately. I chose to visualize a happy, healthy, romantic relationship. I would lie in bed at night, close my eyes, and visualize every aspect of what I wanted. I felt how I wanted to feel.
A few weeks later, a mutual friend decided that Matt and I should know each other better. As soon as we began talking we couldn’t stop. We talked all night until the sun came up, we watched the sun rise over Lake Michigan on top of his roof, and we talked some more. We went out to breakfast, and we exchanged phone numbers. I knew immediately that the occurrence was no accident. I had brought about this positive change in my own life.
That was sixteen months ago. For the first time in my life, I am in a happy, healthy relationship with a person I have grown to love dearly. Every time I tell someone about The Secret, this is the story I choose to tell. I used to think that no matter what I did, the wrong men always found me. But it was I who attracted them into my life. The Secret helped me to realize that I could have and feel wonderful things that I had always wished for myself.
The Secret has changed my life.
