SOMETHING SMALL
Submitted by: Laarni R.
California, USAI first heard about The Secret through a friend. She kept telling me that everything that happened in my life was because of The Secret. I kept thinking, What the heck is The Secret? She wouldn’t tell me; all she said was, “If I told you, it wouldn’t be a secret!” So I just kind of shrugged it off and thought nothing of it.
A few months later, my cousin from Canada visited me. In the course of conversation, we stumbled across the same topic, The Secret. He kept telling me how The Secret had changed his life and how many wonderful things had come his way by practicing it. By that time I figured, Okay, let’s see what this Secret hype is all about. Eventually I ordered the DVD online and watched it. I thought, Hmm . . . interesting. So what can I do to see if this works? I figured I’d start with something very simple yet something I really wanted. It was my funny little way of trying to prove The Secret wrong.
It may seem weird, but at the time I was really craving this little Chinese dumpling called har gow. I was living in a mostly Caucasian community where it was hard to find an authentic Chinese restaurant. But The Secret said to visualize what I wanted, so I did. I also searched high and low to find har gow. I didn’t mention anything about The Secret or about asking for those dumplings. I just kept thinking about it for a good week or so, but nothing was materializing for me.
Then, one night before falling asleep, I told myself, I will eat this dish one way or another. I don’t know how, but I will. The next morning I went to work having totally forgotten what I’d said the night before. I started to do the things I normally did at work, and then my coworker came over and said, “Let’s go into the kitchen; the other department has provided breakfast for everyone.” I followed her in, and guess what I saw? My har gow! Ha-ha! Who would have thought? It was so random. And nobody eats this for breakfast! Yet it was there.
Once I truly believed, it happened! I asked the girl who had brought it in why she got it for breakfast, and all she said was, “It was the only thing open near my house at 6:00 a.m.!”
After that moment, I was a true believer in The Secret!
