My mum is a fan of the book ‘The Secret’ but I wasn’t convinced and don’t really bother with self help books but she introduced me to the teen version so I gave it a go as at the time I was feeling rather down!

It’s written in a style for us to understand better and has really helped me ever since. The teen years are especially hard so it’s good to have something to take your mind off things, explain how to deal with problems and get on with life. It’s a lot better than slumping in front of the tv or going on facebook to distract yourself which only makes you more depressed. I read it whenever I’m down and it’s a great pick me up… I’ve learnt a lot from it and have a better more positive outlook on things and new challenges.

Ever since, I’ve been a lot more grateful for everything and in return (like Karma) good things have been coming back to me. At first, if you tell your friends, they’ll probably think you have gone crazy, but give them time and tell them to read the book…they will eventually see it works! For example, I had a fall out with a friend before reading the book and after having a different outlook on things… instead of holding grudges, which only attracts more arguments, we moved on and forgot it.

Also, I have more confidence now to approach people for the things I want…I asked a friend if I could help out with the make up in a play she was taking part in and now I am doing face painting and make up and all sorts which is boosting my confidence for my future as a make up artist. My mum met a woman while we were out and she got chatting with her and turns out she’s a wedding make up artist and I can help her in the summer holidays! More people have been wanting to meet up with me and go out as I now must be giving off this confident aura that I’ve never really had before!

Ok, it could all just be coincidence, but if you believe in it, it’s most likely because you’ve been using the law of attraction! If you really read the book properly and try out all the tasks that it involves and pay attention to your thoughts and feelings and make the effort to feel good… your own self will naturally pay you back with good things. So don’t moan or hold grudges… move on, read the book and feel positive. I recommend for any teens or adults out there and it will help… I’m living proof!!! Thanks a lot The Secret.
