I still can remember the pain and suffering from a broken heart. Producing negative vibes used to be a habit for me in my daily life. I had a 2 year relationship and sadly it ended beginning of last year, but my relationship wasn’t a happy one within these 2 years. I had trouble dealing with my boyfriend’s family, with his attitude, the people around him, because I couldn’t accept him for who he is. Why choose him? Well, maybe I always thought that I could change him, or I kept telling myself that there was nothing wrong with him. I got fed up with him though, and had an affair with someone else.

Friends began to leave me one by one from my side, rumors were spreading everywhere, academically I began to fall from the top to the bottom, and I was only living through depression and a sad life.

One month later I received a book… I opened the cover of the book and on top of the page was: ‘To my dearest daughter Samantha.’ The book was titled: ‘The Secret.’

First I started off by loving myself. Finding any possible way to make myself healthy and happy. I pampered myself, ate, slept, and exercised healthy. Most of all, I practiced the habit of thinking positive. I imagined, believed, and read positive quotes from famous philosophers to keep my positive mind and life going on. I imagined a happy self with all my friends around me in the future, having a happy family, having a new me within my soul, and I always believed that nothing is impossible to achieve. I changed from thinking that, ‘Everybody hates me and it’s my fault,’ into, ‘Everything happens for a reason and I am happy that I see my mistake because it made me challenge myself and improve myself.’

I am proud to say I made a mistake. I am also very grateful that ‘The Secret’ came by my life and transformed it into what I am today. What I have achieved today is happiness, trust, a better relationship, a better self, with all the grateful things around me. The Secret was the key.

I believed. We all just need patience and time.
