Rhonda and The Secret team,

To start I am a recently returned home veteran of military service. I have mixed feelings on the job and I understand many people have different view points on this subject. I tell you this because I also recently left my fiancé because she was constantly putting me down for what I did. I have always been a depressed person but having to do this, put me over the edge. Having nothing to focus on anymore and no one in my life to be with really broke me down. After many nights of pressing my pistol to my head and drinking myself to sleep I decided that maybe I did need some help. I didn’t want the stigma of being “labeled” or the record of me going to a doctor. So I called my best friend’s fiancé knowing she would understand. She was studying a form of psychology and after listening she started giving me little tasks to do.

A few days later she messaged me about The Secret and told me it might be good to read. I’m not one for reading unless it’s a manual so I got the audio book to listen to. I was extremely skeptical but a few minutes into the book I noticed that I was smiling. I mean really smiling. I never smile and I don’t think there is even a picture of me anywhere with a real smile. It felt so good and as the book continued the words just seemed to make sense. It’s like my brain just fell into perfect alignment. I was feeling good. Halfway through the book I needed to walk to the store for paper towels (something I hate buying because you literally just throw them away) but to my surprise, the brand I like was way over half off and it was the giant pack of rolls. I just had this feeling like things were working. I know paper towel is a very small thing in life but it made me very happy.

I finished the audio book and have been to the site multiple times. I immediately started practicing living the way you teach. I don’t want to be alone anymore so I’ve been visualizing better things, mostly having a relationship with my neighbor that I have a huge crush on. I met her two weeks ago and instantly like her. Well I saw her in the stairs and tried to talk to her but sorta got brushed off because she was on her phone. I saw her again and tried to help her with something she was carrying but she insisted she had it. It was like I couldn’t get her to talk to me. I felt like I had no chance. I started feeling like the book was a load of crap but listened to it again and remembered the teaching of how to deal with this. I started telling myself that there would be another chance and that things will be good, I just need to let the Universe bring it to me.

Last night I got to see her again, we crossed on the stairs and she smiled so big at me and we chatted for a second about how we always see each other. I also heard her as she passed my door talking about me on her phone. I knew things were starting to work and the Universe was answering me. I fell asleep so happy last night and woke the same way this morning. I just have this gut feeling that everything is going to work out the way I need now. I can’t wait to see my neighbor again. I also have a dollar that I made into a $51,000, 000 bill (that’s the lottery here). Its way more than I could ever use but I thought it would be really cool to buy a PS3, a used car, some pants and a new pair of boots. The rest I would use to give things to my family and friends who have helped me. I might also take a trip back to Sicily because I really loved being there. I know that’s a lot of money and I don’t even have a huge list of things to spend it on.

I just wanted to let you know about my experience and really wanted to say, “Thank you”. You have truly changed my life. I am so much happier now.

Last night was the first night in a long time I didn’t have a breakdown or drink myself to sleep. It felt really good. I feel like I want to be alive now. Thank you so much for every thing. Your work is amazing and I hope everyone can have experiences like me
Thank You,
Jake
