I’m only just beginning to grasp the enormity of how The Secret changed my life. I was 22 and living in a student hostel going to university. Unfortunately, I suffered from depression. When I was 19 I had suffered a nervous breakdown due to the pressure of growing up poor with an alcoholic parent. A friend gave me The Secret and I scoffed at it. But then I watched the movie and I thought it couldn’t hurt to try to use it.

I was on medication to manage my depression but I started slowly and tried to be grateful no matter how awful I was feeling. It took me a while to actually manifest something.

I had applied to travel to Sydney to take part in a human rights advocacy course but my grades were not that good. I still packed a bag and made no plans for the dates the weekly course ran for. I started telling people I was going. I wrote “in Sydney” on all the dates on my calendar. I visualized my whole journey from home, to getting in a taxi and going to the airport, to the plane trip. I got it!!

I thought that was great but wasn’t convinced. Either way, I kept trying. I began to manifest items that I wanted and needed. I was always either being given those items or I would find them at a bargain price or free.

I applied for a film making course and I got that. My belief that I was a magnet was firm and I created a vision board. I began to expect cheques instead of bills. If I had a bill I wrote ‘PAID’ and ”Thank you, Universe’ on it.

I was still struggling with depression but was no longer dependant on anti-depressants. I found an opportunity to work on a feature film that was being filmed in my home town. Despite me being a recent graduate with no experience, I got it!!!

The high from working on set raised my vibration immensely and I began to manifest much faster. I worked hard and lost weight, toned my body and I went out on dates. I was about 25 by this stage and everything I tried to do I succeed in by using the law of attraction. I had gotten everything I had put on my vision board.

I started thinking about the long term future and wrote down all the traits of my perfect man. It was a long list! I forgot about the list and left it with my other “manifestation checklists” and notebooks.

Needless to say I met him. He was the most irritating man I had ever met! Often I thought perhaps he wasn’t the right one but I would check everything on the list and sure enough, he had them all!

I used the law for everything then; from jobs to money to fixing communication issues in our relationship to finding money everywhere I went. We still weren’t rich though. I asked the Universe to help me manifest quicker and to help me overcome emotional blockages.

Now we have a beautiful happy, healthy, baby boy and are both working on wealth creation. Of course, my man and I are both attracting the right info and the right people. When I search on the net I find what I want instantly! It is incredible. My artwork is selling and my partner runs his own business. I no longer experience depression.

I recover fast from illness and I’m still not a millionaire yet but I always have money. More than enough, thanks to The Secret!

After a decade I have gone from a fat, depressed mess to confident, secure, happy, healthy and fit. I have friends and respect and a whole new wonderful, amazing life doing what I love.

Thank you and God bless. I am forever grateful to you and your book, The Secret.
