As a child I played a game similar to the Secret. Things never seemed to work out for me, so when I wanted something, I would speak over and over that I did not want that particular thing. Especially watching TV, I repeated over and over again to myself that I did not want this particular cartoon to come on. Sure enough the very next cartoon was the one I ‘did not want’!

I read the book “The Secret” and at first I was a little worried the teaching was not in line with my Christian belief. I gave it a shot though, and I immediately started expecting checks in the mail. After three weeks or so I forgot about it. I never doubted, just simply forgot.

The forth week I received a check from my insurance company. The premium comes out of my pay and there were extra weeks taken out. The fifth week I received another check from my insurance company for the same amount, for the same reason. The sixth week I received two checks, one from the IRS and the other from my tax preparer. The seventh week I received another check from the IRS! Wow! I was so stunned.

Negative things crept back into my life, and everything went back the way it was before The Secret. Today I was listening to the tapes and asking for forgiveness, and at the same time I was writing an affirmation, claiming a call from my doctor’s office concerning a very important test result I was having trouble locating. The phone rang as I was writing out the statement, and they found the test results I needed. Again I was blown away.

The one thing I’ve learned is I must stay loving, forgiving, and thankful at all times. Good does not come my way when I let negative things hang around too long. I work with negative people so it is very hard to stay focused, but I am determined to do so now! Thank you, this has changed my life!
