I still remember it like it was yesterday. My mom had introduced The Secret to me. I read it, I liked it, I desired to follow it, but my lack of confidence and willingness to try led me to forget about it. Funny thing was I always recommended it to others, but didn’t take my own advice.

Even after watching the movie and reading the book I failed to understand why my vision board and daily preaching about The Secret to friends hadn’t led me to a fulfilled lifestyle as promised.

Then, not even a week ago, after a full year of having the knowledge of The Secret, I decided, quite randomly, to watch The Secret movie.

I was getting fed up with myself. The once smart girl who knew what to do, had great grades and had friends, was becoming a loner and, quite frankly, depressed. I was through. Suicidal thoughts that once looked stupid to me, became more and more appealing. NO, NO, NO!!! I told myself over again, and as the LOA states, telling the universe you don’t want something only makes more of that appear.

So after a boring, not-so-interesting day I sat down and saw the movie, beginning to end. In an instant, almost by magic, I had an idea that has showed great improvement in my life. I wrote a letter. I wrote a letter to “amigo” (or friend in Spanish), and it was dated June 4, 2010.

Yes, I know what you’re thinking. That day hadn’t happened yet. I wrote a letter that basically showed me a glimpse of my future. I wrote how my multicultural club at school was a success and that my relationship with my mom was amazing, and that my grades were all A’s, along with lots of other things I desired, except in this letter, they already happened. I closed my eyes and saw it all. The Club, the high school transcript, everything! It felt real! I knew that The Secret was a way to make all that you ever desire happen, first through your thoughts and feelings, and watching as all those things you already have acquired through thought, materialize.

It hasn’t been even a week, I’m serious, not even a week, and my mom and I haven’t even fought once. In my Physics Class the last four quizzes have been 100%. In History, everything makes sense. At school everyone says hi and makes me laugh. I’m truly loving life. Who says The Secret takes time to manifest?

It is a game. The more successful you are at making your mind believe it already has the things that it desires, the faster those things appear in your life.
