Firstly, I would like to thank Rhonda Byrne and the entire team of The Secret for the knowledge, hope, and happiness they have given to everyone who has ‘asked.’

My story is not about attracting anything particularly extraordinary; however, it is the way that it made me feel that was extraordinary. In particular, it offered me two things: it taught me how to attract things so as to receive them in the fastest manner possible and that the law of attraction is a real notion that has a real, tangible, physical influence over the Universe.

Less than a year ago, I was sitting down on a step along Darling Harbour, waiting for my friends because we were going to have dinner. It was sunset, and everything around me was beautiful. First of all, let me just say that I had no intention of attracting anything in particular; I had just let my mind wander.

A random song popped into my head, and it was Coldplay’s ‘Princess of China’. Of course, I have no personal or emotional affiliation with it but recently, for some reason, I started liking it.

So, I listened to every detail of the song in my head: the melody, the harmony, and the song structure. As a music student, this was especially easy for me. I got goosebumps when I got to the bridge of the song because, to me, this was one of the loveliest parts. I was in a state of concentration and focus. Everything around me was beautiful. I was happy and at ease as I was listening to a song that I really liked.

Of course, when it was time to meet up with my friends, I got up and walked along the harbor. As I was walking along, less than 2 minutes after I got up, there it was again! Coldplay’s ‘Princess of China’ was playing from the bridge too!

I stopped in my tracks. I could not believe it. There were people walking around me, so I walked towards the restaurant that was playing the song and listened to it until the song ended.

There they were, people walking past me and not paying any attention to the beauty around them and the brilliance of their day. And there I was so happy because that moment was mine and no one else, even as I write this, could possibly imagine how I felt that day unless they have experienced it through the same means that I did, and that evidently, Rhonda has so many times.

I think it was the simplicity of it all that made it so magical. Take a breath, relax, and feel whatever it is that you want inside you. Use all your senses. Feel the textures, taste the sweetness, see the colors and detail, smell the roses, and hear the melodies.

Of course, one could say that it was a coincidence. But what do we say about coincidences? The Universe is never so lazy.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
