Hi! I’m Ananda and I am 20 years old. I read The Secret when I was 16.
Well, I really wanted a new computer for a long time… a new computer, one that you can play any game on, any software, anything you want without even checking the configuration. Since I was a kid I was in love with games and stuff like this. I used to have an old computer, really old, like Win98, with almost no games and a very low internet connection. I was angry about that almost every day when I turned the PC on, because it was too old and slow, and because my mom didn’t have any money for a new computer.
But then I started to think different – think like The Secret book has taught me. I started to think that my wish didn’t depend on the money of anyone, even mine. I REALLY started to believe that the Universe will bring one to me. Then, a few months later, my mom said to me, “I think I can buy one new PC for you.” We started to search in the stores for a computer that I really liked, because you know, I didn’t want any computer – I wanted THE computer. I found many computers, but I didn’t find anything that I really wanted, something that makes my soul scream in happiness. But I never stopped believing, because it wasn’t up to the stores to offer something that I wanted – I knew the Universe was to do that.
On the same weekend of that week, I had an idea. I told my mom to ask my uncle if he can search for or even build a good computer for me, and we’ll pay for the pieces that he uses. He is an expert on building and fixing computers. She called, and to my surprise, my uncle had a new finished PC that he bought for his daughter, but she wasn’t using it because she was about to buy a laptop for work. He sold the PC to my mom, and the configuration was double what I had asked! I mean, I asked for a “Super PC” and I got a “Super Mega Ultra PC”! I became so happy, my dream just came true on that day. And the best part is that my mom paid just the half price, because after paying for half my grandmother gave to my uncle a rare clock that he wanted so much, so he considered that the computer had already been paid for with that clock.
So, now here I am, writing this story on the keyboard of my new shiny super cool computer! Believe with your soul, and anything that you want will happen, trust me.
