I am a 28 year old man who has witnessed countless small and big miracles that have made me develop strong faith in the law of attraction and the power of the Universe. Of course this is easy to say, but it has taken me years of doubts, worries and insecurities.

When I was a kid, my mother taught me many things about the spiritual world, good and bad vibes and so on. When you are a child it is difficult to understand how the invisible world works, but everything makes sense when you believe in magic. As a child and later a teenager, I had a difficult time with some of my classmates being rude and mean to me. I became insecure and didn’t have but a few friends. I was a smart kid with excellent grades, so they called me a nerd. Things at home were also very difficult. My parents were having a lot of economic, personal and health problems. But my mother managed to help my father overcome all problems with love, hope and inner strength.

When I entered to high school I soon discovered a very famous metaphysical book and started changing my negative thoughts and feelings into positive ones. I asked the Universe for a very nice group of friends with whom I could have plenty of fun, and after two weeks I met the girls and guys who I still consider my best friends. I was popular and many good things started to happen. For instance, while enrolling to next semester classes, I asked the Universe to open enough places for us to stick together as a group, and it worked. Then I met a girl that I liked at a mall and visualized coming across her again, and so it happened a week after. The family car we had was so old by then. We all visualized we had a brand new one. After a month my father received enough money to buy the car we wanted.

Unfortunately, when I entered to college many things changed for me. My first love broke up with me and my friends chose different Universities. I started feeling overwhelmed being a Biomedical Engineer student, and suddenly I realized the people around me were really toxic and shallow. After a couple of months I also realized I was depressed and anxious. First I decided to try to be OK myself, but it didn’t work. I remember being very sad during the day and really anxious at night. It was a negative cycle indeed. I asked for help from a naturopathic doctor and he got me some antioxidants and breathing exercises that helped me a lot.

However, it was not until I watched The Secret that I truly understood how the law of attraction works. I became aware of the fact that everything around me was a product of my thoughts and emotions. I prayed for help to recover my mental stability and joy, and the Universe heard me again.

Soon everything started to change for good. I met very positive people and college started getting a lot easier, or at least I rebuilt my self confidence. Whenever I had a very hard exam I visualized getting an A plus the night before and inspiration always came to me at the last moment! I became a joyful person again and met a yoga teacher who taught me how to observe and transform negative feelings and to strengthen my body and energy. However, I was not good at attracting the love of my life.

I was stuck visualizing a romantic relationship with a specific person I liked a lot, and although we both liked each other, things never happened. Instead, the Universe responded to me by actually matching the images I was holding on my mind  with ones of authentic love and joy. Soon I met someone who totally rocked my world and we have been together for four years now.

All I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you to Rhonda Byrne and her team for putting together this wonderful series of books. I have read The Secret and The Magic. It is true that the more you practice and trust in the Universe, the more blessing come into your life. It is just a matter of counting your blessing, not your problems! Also, it is never ever too late to start changing your life. The day you decide to do so, the whole Universe is set to support you in achieving whatever you want in perfect harmony. Just ask and relax.

Warm regards,

Ricardo
