Rewriting the story

Submitted by: Pieter D.

Ghent, Belgium

I'm a 21 year old guy from Belgium. I live near a small city, called Ghent. I'm studying Psychology.

My Secret Story began 2 years ago. I was nowhere near happiness. School was not going too well, I just wasn’t happy with what I was studying and almost never went to class. I was having serious problems with my skin, having severe acne and thick scars all over my back. I had a horrible year in tennis, the sport I deeply love. And most of all, I had lost my boyfriend. The person I believed I couldn’t live without. Fear, depression, anger and all kinds of negative emotions were controlling me and my life. I felt like I was the victim of all sorts of bad luck. I considered my ex-boyfriend the one to blame. He had left me when I needed him most. The truth was I had left myself alone.

All of a sudden, in an enlightened moment at night in bed I realized: The Secret will help me out of this situation. The Secret will make me happy again. I heard about The Secret a while ago and had seen the cover of the book in stores every now and then, but I did not know what The Secret was about. I didn’t even know The Secret was not a novel, but non fiction. All I knew was that The Secret would help me out of this horrible nightmare. It did!

I read the book and decided to give it a try. I knew I wouldn’t be able to believe, and thus use, all of The Secret principles in one week, because The Secret told me a completely different and opposite story than what I learnt at school. I had a classical scientific education in which our thoughts are just being simple predestined, pre-wired and genetically determined things. I was taught we are what our genes are. And I was taught we are nothing more than a machine that could have all good luck of the world, or just bad luck all of the time, without any underlying reasons. So, to me it really came down to reading The Secret, reading it again and again and again. Just letting this new truth sink in to my deepest being, slowly but surely! Somewhere deep down The Secret had touched me so much the very first time I read it, but it would take time to make myself believe with every fiber of my being that I was the creator! Not my genes or some mechanical coincidences I had no control over. I was the creator of anything I was complaining about! And I started to believe I was able to create heaven instead of this darkness I was living in!

So for two years I kept reading The Secret over and over again and yesterday, all of a sudden I came to realize that so much of my wishes came true in the last couple of months without even consciously realizing it. I was just being happy all of the time, not thinking about those dark days anymore, not even knowing what I wished for back then. Well, my biggest wish right after I read The Secret was to get my relationship back on track.

A few months ago, after not hearing from my former boyfriend for almost a year, we met each other again. After that one meeting everything went very quickly and now it’s just SO clear there will be a long-awaited next chapter in our romance. I’m extremely happy and grateful for this because I know I’m the one who made all of this happen with my creative power. Our relationship, even as friends, looked like completely dead at one point. But instead of remaining depressed about it, I was just so sure I would rewrite the story. And that’s exactly what I have done! I rewrote my past! Maybe that is the most exciting thing about The Secret. No matter how finished and over a story may look like, you can bring it back to life and rewrite that story and eventually your destiny.

With all of my passion, all of my faith, all of my persistence and all of my love I made so many of my dreams come true! I’m doing better than ever in tennis, knowing I will win a tournament very soon. I’m discovering new and exciting sports and being successful in them. I captured my first medal in athletics one month ago. I’m studying experimental psychology, which is really exciting. I’m cured of my acne and my scars are dissolving. I had the trip of my life last summer going to Tunisia with my best friend. There, for the first time in four years, I was able to swim again, something I didn’t do anymore because of my skin problems. I’m just having the life I always dreamt of and most of all I’m looking forward to discovering new dreams, new realities, new feelings and new worlds by continuing to practice and learn this wonderful law of attraction and by continuing to build an inner world full of beauty, love and gratefulness.

Thank you Secret-team for supporting me so much in this wonderful journey! Thank you!!!
