Since discovering The Secret, my life has become nothing more then a dream. It’s a blessing when you’re aware of what to be grateful for. It doesn’t have to be big, or with a pricey tag attached to it. It’s amazing, once you truly – and I mean truly – master this power, you will start to attract things as soon as you think it. I literally sit and think… I wish I had a drink, or I need this (bare in mind, it’s simple little things), and my fiancée or someone will end up doing it within 10-30 seconds.

Also, I learned a great deal about solving problems, with any situation. Just by thinking as a person not in the equation, even if I am. If I’m at fault, I don’t sit on my pride for days anymore and walk around holding a grudge. I simply apologize, because it’s so much better not to be competitive with arguments or being right for the sole purpose of being right… the main goal is to be happy that you see past as the petty stuff.

I realize it’s a gift to be conscious and know what you’re feeling and how to control your emotions. I stopped talking to negative people, even if their negativity wasn’t directed to me, because it made be feel negative and begin to criticize or compare or complain as well.

I’m also a go-getter again, after like 10 years. I can say, “Watch what I say AND do,” because my actions now mirror my words, my way of life.

Those of you now discovering ‘the law’, make sure you don’t allow old habits to take away from what’s rightfully yours (happiness). I mean, it’s not an overnight success – it’s like going to college and learning a career, you need to practice, practice, practice. Another thing that I’ve found to help is to meditate every night and imagine your life as it should be and come out of it feeling as if it’s possible. You’re literally reprogramming your mind to think differently, to block certain reactions, actions, feelings, habitual habits. There will be days that will turn into a bad day, then just a bad hour, until it’s just a moment in time. But once you get there and see a little daylight at the end of the tunnel, there will be no way you’ll ever want to go back.

I love the statement Michael Beckwith says at the end of the movie, The Secret. So, I will leave you with it…

“I believe that you’re great, that there’s something magnificent about you. Regardless of what has happened to you in your life, regardless of how young or how old you think you might be, the moment you begin to think properly, this something that is within you, this power within you that’s greater than the world, it will begin to emerge. It will take over your life. It will feed you, it will clothe you, it will guide you, protect you, direct you, sustain your very existence. If you let it! Now that is what I know, for sure.”
