The secret equals prosperity
Submitted by: Andani
JHB, South AfricaI am a 25 year old lady, who's in her 3rd year of working as a business analyst. I work at a financial organisation. I am the first born in a family of 3 children. I love speed, so I love watching Formula 1, reading car magazines and attending car shows.
I’ve known about the Secret for years now. I have always been an optimistic person and thought I didn’t need to read deep into what the secret is really about or how to use it. The first copy I bought of The Secret was a mother’s day gift for my mother as she had been going through a lot of challenges in her life and I believed the book would definitely help her.
8 months later I realised that I needed a copy myself, after a couple of months of believing that Im just not meant to be in a relationship as they never worked out, a friend of mine introduced me to some guy that she believed I could really get along with. We did get along, and we started dating a week after we met. Everything was so great, sometimes it felt too good to be true.
Two months into the relationship, we broke up as I found out he started dating someone else while we were still dating. I decided to scrutinize this relationship to see if I could pinpoint exactly where the problem was.
At first I was very shocked at my discovery, I realised that when I get into relationships I forget about myself and I prioritise the other person so much more. I realised that I didn’t love myself as much as I thought I did and I actually undermined myself a lot when it came to relationships. Whenever things did not work out I would always believe that it was my fault.
I started reading The Secret religiously, and started working on appreciating myself, loving myself and focusing on having fun in this world. I told myself my guy (I put together a vision board and when it came to the man I want I used words to describe him) will find me whenever and when he does & I will be ready for him.
A month later, a guy who had been trying to get my attention for 3 years suddenly started communicating with me again. After spending time properly with him I discovered that he represented most of the words I used to describe my man on my vision board.
Now we are officially together, things are going well between us, Im actually happy. This man respects me and treats me like a queen, I don’t think this would be happening if I didn’t do it for myself first. The Secret made me realise that if I want to be a great partner to someone else, I need to be my own great partner first. I definitely believe that this relationship will only grow stronger as the two of us continue to grow stronger as individuals as well.
Thank you so much for a life-changing book!!
