My Surprising E-Mail
Submitted by: Mariela Rodriguez
Bronx, NYOn my lunch break from work I decided to go to the library to get a book. I was going through a rough time in my life and I wanted to read something that would take my mind off my problems. I didn’t go with the intention to get “The Secret”, I just wanted to read up on something that would get my spirits up. As I’m looking through the shelves, just about to give up (I had to get back to work) my eyes caught a glance of The Secret. I immediately remembered my sister telling me she wanted to read this book even though she didn’t know what it’s about. But she was curious to know “what was the secret”. I didn’t hesitate, I checked it out. I couldn’t wait to get back to work so I could start reading it.
I got through the first chapter and I was hooked. An instant good feeling came over me. I just couldn’t explain it. I was yearning for this up to that day. I felt I had a dead end job, living situation wasn’t good, my relationship was going through a crisis, and I was at my wits end. The Secret opened my eyes, my mind, and my heart. From that moment on, I let go of all the resentment and baggage from the past, and focused on getting my life together.
I was doing great until one day I let it get to me. I made the mistake of forgetting to remember and focus on the positive. I was consumed with negative thoughts. So I decided to check my e-mail to see if that would distract me from feeling so down. As I opened my e-mail, the first one that caught my eye was the Secret Scroll. The wonderful message of the day was: “Don’t Let Negative Thoughts In”. Life was letting me know that it’s all going to be alright. It’s up to me to change my life. I was so happily surprised. Again, like in the library, I didn’t expect this wonderful sign.
Thank You so much for writing this book. It’s hope for so many people like me. I am happy! I will get everything that I want because I believe! The Secret just showed me that it was always in me!
