The Faith.

IndiaI am 23 years old and from India.
Firstly, I want to thank Rhonda Byrne for creating such a masterpiece and sharing it with us. I first saw my mom reading The Secret when I was around 15 years old. I never really understood how a book could change your life so much. She used to ask me to give it a try but I was kind of hesitant. I was finishing my degree course and was preparing for my entrance exam. I was sure that was the only hard work that mattered and nothing else.
Soon things were not totally going the way I wanted and I continuously thought to myself, “What if I didn’t get what I wanted?” The feeling of helplessness was the worst part and I stopped talking or texting my friends and completely cut myself off.
Then suddenly one day, I thought to myself that I wanted my life to change, and I picked up my mom’s book, The Secret, and started reading it. I started trying to change my thoughts but didn’t realize that merely changing them wasn’t enough. I have to feel the same way that I was thinking.
Again my faith started wavering. I didn’t get what I wanted on my first go at the exam. Though I felt bad, I just focused on continuing o do the hard work. A few days before my next exam, I felt an urge. So I put my books aside and started watching The Secret movie. I don’t know how but there was a sudden gush of hope and happiness when I watched it. I realized I had been holding myself back all this time with my thoughts of, ‘what if I didn’t’. So I decided I had to change that.
I took a piece of paper and wrote down the exact exam results that I wanted and I looked at it whenever I doubted myself. I believed that the Universe had already taken care of it and that my wish had been fulfilled. I started enjoying myself and being happy all the time, no matter what. On the day of the exam, I kept on thinking my best thoughts. That the Universe has already figured everything out for me and I have already gotten the results I want.
As I waited for my results, I would get up every morning and look at the little piece of paper with full faith that my wish had been fulfilled. Then I started preparing to leave for college. I started making a list of everything that I would need for college, and so on.
Finally, on the day the results were posted, when I logged into the website to check mine, I saw that I had gotten the first rank on the entrance exam!! I was so, so, happy! I knew that the Universe had done it. Everyone was so happy.
I started reconnecting with my friends, too. Literally, my whole life had a new meaning because of The Secret. It taught me to have unwavering faith in myself and the Universe. And most of all, to just be happy so you can attract more happiness into your life.
I want to say thank you to Rhonda Byrne for this book that changed my life completely and fulfilled all my dreams. Thank you to the Universe. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! Thank you so much!
