Nightmares gone

Last night I realised what a powerful effect watching The Secret had on my life. I had a setback, but because of this setback I realised what huge improvement I made.

I used to have this horrible dream about a man standing outside my house waiting for me to come out. I can see him because we have glass doors and when I looked at him he pointed at me indicating he would shoot me. And just then his eyes turned into snake eyes.

I had this dream every night for a year after a horrible experience. I never really talked about it because here either you have been a victim of crime or you know someone who was a victim of crime, and I was scared. And because of my fear I didn’t want to go out, I didn’t want to go to varsity, I couldn’t even stand in my own garden. I was terrified of living and I wanted to keep my son from doing anything because I was so scared that someone would hurt him.

One day someone gave The Secret to my mom as a present. I was the first to watch it and it completely changed everything. I can’t remember having the nightmare since, and my love for life returned.

Last night I had the dream again after watching a documentary about gangster funerals, but now I know what to do. And I know I have to stay away from anything like that. The Secret is something I can’t go without in my life.

Couldn’t hurt to try?

I had received the book version of The Secret as a gift and shoved it aside until one day I was going into the hospital for an extended stay. I
read it while there. It was inspiring, but I was not yet a believer!

Here it is a couple of months later, and I am now a true beliver! I followed what the book, video and website all said to do as finacial hardship came upon the family. School was about to start, vehicle repairs had to be made, medical bills were rolling in, seasons are changing and children had grown like a weed! This all within a couple weeks! I figured it couldn’t hurt to try, right?

Unknown to me a family member entered us all into a raffle drawing and my name was drawn! It was the amount of the universal check I had written out to myself just 2 weeks prior!

I am now a believer! It is true!

My story so far…

I don’t know why I rented The Secret from our video store, but I felt drawn to it. I hadn’t heard what it was about or anything and when I took it home for us to watch I was shocked… it was speaking to me! I can’t tell you how much I needed The Secret, it gave me something to believe in. My boyfriend and I have been together 3 and 1/2 years and we always talked about how we wanted to buy real estate, but somehow something would always get in our way. We are both servers in the restaurant industry and of course that means minimum wage which is currently $8 an hour, so we’re not made of money! After being turned down at the bank for something so small as a $500 Visa card when I myself had managed to save $12,000 in under a year was a real drag. So we went to another banker who worked with us and made things happen. sShe got me a $700 Visa card and got us approved for a mortgage that we worked so hard for. I am happy to say we are now the proud owners of a lovely little condo in White Rock, British Columbia. We never gave up even though it got hard, and at times doubt did come knocking, we just didn’t answer the door. Now we’re saving up for a second. Thank you so much for giving me something to have faith in.

Health and Wealth

I had not heard of The Secret until I saw it on Oprah earlier this year. After the show I went straight to the website and read and read. At the time I didn’t buy the book or the DVD but I watched the visualisation tools on YouTube and started telling myself that I am rich. I said all those things to myself that are on the riches video. Within a few weeks I got a letter from overseas to tell me that my uncle had left me some money in his will. Now every day I give blessings and gratitude for my life. I now have the book and the DVD and I read the book every day, over and over.

Since I was 18 I have had chronic psoriasis with lots of it on my face. Now it is hardly noticeable as I tell myself all the time that I have lovely clear skin.

The Abundance Of Kings

A friend told me about this book called The Secret when I was in desperation. Okay, my life had fallen apart because of very poor choices that I’d made. Little did I know at the time that was because of my thoughts.

Now, it’s 5 1/2 months later and I am actually applying many lessons in The Secret and it is startling how many of them work! When I am grateful I receive more good experiences and comments. A few months ago I was job searching, and when I declared to the Universe that I wanted a choice between jobs I had two to choose from. When I applied the mantra from another story (money flows to me like water), I got two upsales in one day after only getting about one every other week. My work environment is more positive and not just because of my mindset, but people are speaking more positively and complaining less.

This morning I wrote something that helped me to clarify what The Secret is. And it might be useful to others.

I am happy and successful
These things are new
I am worthy and grateful
My dreams come true
I am a magnet that attracts
All positive thoughts
I am heathy and weatlthy
Qualities I’d sought

This book that does show
How Secrets unfold
Has opened my mind
when it was closed

That I am deserving
Of all that is great
That NOW is the time
I make an escape
From all that is past
To bring me to here
To the future I have
Made my way clear

And the present is thus
Thoughts Become Things!
Abundance is mine
The Abundance Of Kings

35% salary increase

I’ve been underpaid in my job for about 5 years now. While interviewing for a new position in my company I watched The Secret.

Normally you can only get about a 15% increase when you move up, but I visualized an amount that was about a 37% greater than my current salary.

Because it was a move to a department with a salary structure different than my current, which didn’t have any positions open, I ended with a 35% increase! (I’m not going to complain about the 2%).

Thank you!!

A Sudden Wash

I got The Secret from my Chiropractor who, by the way, dismissed my treatments because I fully believed that I would be healed in 6 weeks. I was! I was already on my way to positive intentions because of reading various books, one being, “The Four Agreements”, and The Secret cinched the deal. It was like everything I had been taught in my journey started revealing itself. What is really great is that my family took to it like water, even my Mom and my Brother. When I started to afford everything I needed and we were all in joy most of the time, a warm wash of gratitude came over me. I just am so grateful that I determine the future. I have the power. I am in control. I can choose! Thank you, Secret Team, for bringing this to the world! I know that the world is a friendly place, a magical place, and that it is a glorious place for my children to enjoy! I am applying it to every aspect of my life and I know that there is so much just under the surface!

A New Home

Hi, I’m JJ, single mom of one great boy, who is turning 6 tomorrow. Here is our little story about The Secret and finding a new home.

My son and I have been living at the same address for 3.5 years now. In the past year I have fallen out of favor with the managers daughter (we used to be good friends, but when I didn’t approve of an abusive relationship she was in, our friendship fell apart). We live in a 4-plex and these people live above us. The rest of the people who live in the building are drug users who hit and yell at their children – it’s awful here. For the past 8 months the people upstairs have been harassing us, having loud parties until the wee hours of the morn, slamming doors, using the water when I’m in the shower… you name it, they do it. About a month into this I had had enough and decided to move. Rent is very high here and there is little to choose from. Landlords don’t want kids, pets, single parents, even white people. I’ve been looking to find a place for months.

A couple of weeks ago I watched The Secret. I had heard of it before, but wasn’t in a place to really feel it, or to use it. When I watched it though, I was. It was time.

Six days after watching The Secret I found a new place to live. SIX DAYS!!! All I did was change my thoughts from ‘there’s nothing to rent here’ to ‘something will come up soon’, and it did! We move in at the end of July, we will have a brand new suite with a big yard and no drug users living nearby. There is a school within walking distance for my son and they will let us have our cats. I really do believe that if I had not watched The Secret when I did I wouldn’t be moving there. I’ve looked at a lot of places over the past few months, some good and some bad, but this one is the best so far. There were other good ones, but there was always a reason for us not getting it – too many people applying etc.

I’d like to tell the people at The Secret how grateful I am to them for showing this to me. Thank you! And thank you to the Universe. We are grateful.

-JJ

Power of Visualization

On 8th June 2007 I moved to a new house. Prior to that I went to our Telecom Office to notify them of my new address so that they could arrange to transfer my telephone line and internet account to the new address.

On the 9th June 2007 I got the Telecom Technician to activate my telephone line at the new house. The person told me after 3 days I would be able to use my internet. The 3 days came, I was unable to use the internet. The DSL light was not working. So I made numerous telephone calls to the Telecom Customer Service. After 3 weeks I lost my patience and started to make the complain online as well. I think I was not polite due to my anger.

Saturday 7th July 2007 came, I went to do reflexology and afterwards went to a Shopping Centre. Over there I went to a bookshop and was looking for the book “The Secret”. I bought the book and on the same date in the evening I registered online to become a member of “The Secret”. I started to read the book on Sunday 8th July where I managed to read 3/4 of the book at a park. I was fascinated by the book. I completed reading the book yesterday 9th July. I came across the book to have good thoughts before going to sleep. So I did visualize that the DSL light will be lighted tomorrow, which was today 10th July 2007. In the morning I went for a meeting and came back home at about 3pm. I went to the modem and the DSL light was lighted!!! Wow I thought that was amazing. As I only visualized once before I went to sleep the night before, and the effect was amazing!!! I’m truly GRATEFUL!!! The Secret really works!!! Fantastic!!!

Every Day Something More

I gave “The Secret” (book) to my mom for Mother’s Day. She read it, then passed it to me, I read it… and now we simply don’t know why we didn’t know this before, or discover it earlier in life. But are so very thankful that NOW we have it!

We finally started having ‘Secret family meetings’ with me, mom, and dad every week: just the 3 of us… And it is more powerful than ever when every person under your roof practices The Secret, believes in themselves, and the power of thought with the Universe, and the Law of Attraction’s INCREDIBLE bliss-giving MAGIC. It sounds so corny to some, I’m sure, but you guys who read this forum and visit the website know what I’m talkin’ about!!! Ain’t it glorious!!!!!?????!!!! I am loving each and every story of my ‘secret family’s’ every time I read a new story of joy and discovery, I cry! I am crying now as I write this… it is such a wonderful feeling of joy, relief, amazement, purging of sorrow, and lifting UP UP UP!!! NONE of us can literally put it into words I know, as I cannot seem to and I know by reading these stories or testimonies that you guys feel the same way.

More amazing people, customers, friends, etc. have come into my life since using the power. I’ve come to accept I’ve always had lying in me, never knowing how to harness until now. Thank you Rhonda, Bob, all the other great teachers and thinkers involved in its creation, and ESPECIALLY thank you Jack Canfield …for me, he is the “special one” that I connect with most. I’ve always loooooved Chicken soup books, and now watching him speak and hearing his words reverberate in my soul daily, I cannot thank him enough for the person is, the sharing he does on a daily basis with everyone willing to just listen, and if it’s for you..great…if not …let it go! DO what brings you JOY. I love his words on this. I don’t care if I get a million bucks….which I know with unwaivering faith (thank you Lisa) that I will!! OR if all this venture brings to me is what it has and does so far…and daily…which is my BELIEF, and STRONG witness of many terrific, splendid, exciting, LOVE FILLED, joyous, blissful and wonderful things that are in my life every day. And most of all I feel that The Secret has taught me to RECOGNIZE these things. RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME… that have been there, but I have been viewing them with the wrong set of eyes. Missing so many things. Wanting this or not having that. It takes away – literally WIPES OUT the many amazing things that I DO HAVE, and have had, without me seeing it happen…b/c my eyes were closed to the magic of the ‘SECRET’ and basically its principles….which I feel are different for everyone. Because like you guys say, not everybody wants the same things. So in that, we all see The Secret (OR THE law of attraction) in different ways, but as a whole, I know we all share this bliss it has brought forth to us. Some, not knowing HOW or WHAT it was until now, some never having experienced it at all! (like myself)

Long story short, I KNOW what my so-called ‘mission in life’ or ‘gift’ is now!!! I am a writer, and I always have been, but never got ‘the calling’ if you will… or the OPEN YOUR EYES you have a gift and talent!!! NEVER had I thought “Hmm, I’m gonna write a book!” We’ve all liked doing something that when really sitting down and thinking about it, come to realize, “Ok, I enjoy this a lot, but I’m not good enough at [singing, dancing, acting, cooking writing] to REALLY make a living at it.” We’ve all thought that & one time or another watched a reality show and felt, “Poor kid, parents are so wonderful to tell them to follow their hearts and dreams, but they CANNOT SING.” Well ZING!!! Reality here. Since reading The SECRET many many times again and again, and watching the video online 5 times, now sharing with my father, and my mother who shared it with me first, my magnetic power has become so strong, that I’ve written 2 short stories, and am in the middle of my first novel, that I am positive will get published within the next year! This is something I have NO DOUBT whatsoever will come about. I have made money when I’ve needed it, big amounts and small, whichever was needed at the time. I have had beautiful days, when under the same circumstances in the past would’ve been pretty crappy because of The Law of attraction and my use of it.

I and my mother and father as well, have encountered many many ideas, and many actions that have brought us EXACTLY what we’ve wanted, be it money, a person, a trip, customer experience with our business, and nameless others!!!!

I know it’s so overwhelming when it rolls in so magnificently like it does, it is sometimes a little scary and hard to believe also. But harnessing this magic we all have inside of us is a complete joy! It is feeling good, knowing you make other’s feel good along the way, and what more can you ask for !!!!! I love every teacher involved with ‘The Secret” and I thank the Universe every single day for bringing them into my life, and changing it to never be joyless again!!!! Thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!

I cannot say it enough, as my face is wet with tears of joy, I only hope every single person on this planet finds their true bliss. And my only other hope is that we can all let go of feelings of ‘I can’t, I don’t, I’m not, I’m never, and I won’t’. These are wasteful thoughts and don’t serve us! WE CAN!!! WE WILL!!! WE DO!!! WE ARE!!!! We forever and ever can have every single experience we want. It’s our sketch pad and our pencil… our universe is our landscape and we are the artists, we are the designers, and we DO HAVE ALL that we want and always will….. thanks so much.

Love you, every one of my ‘Secret’ brothers & sisters… with my heart, mind, and spirit…THANK you.

Life as a human Being — Healing hands

I was being encouraged for months to watch The Secret. At the time I was busy tapping into the endless ancient wisdom that I have carried over for many lifetimes. I truly had no clue what I was about to attract and how it could affect my life so quickly and powerfully, and that there was even something such as an “attractive force”.

To step back and tell you a bit about how my life was raised… you see I do fall in to that 85% category, but like Jack says “So What!” I was slowly being corrupted as a child, told that I was foolish by people watching me give advice to people 3 and 4 times my age – because wisdom comes with age, “Old Age”. But the I gave advice was life changing in the area in which they had asked me for an opinion; and I didn’t know why I knew what to say, I just knew what to say… I just felt, as if it were coming from the depth of my untapped consciousness. I know now that it’s a universal consciousness. But people just wanted to bring me down from this happiness, didn’t want me to be so “weird”, and always explained to me my inferiority as a child … but I knew I was different.

All of my life I was able to heal myself of minor pains, headaches and so forth. I have found myself strongly against common society and it’s beliefs and values strongly denying mine. As time wore on I found myself graduated from high school but slipping from my beliefs and I started not to side with society, but to fall between the large gap in the center between free will and when we’re aloud to use it ( society )… I did eventually find that being different was hard…long story short depression did kick in and it consumed me.

I spent 2 years like this, anger, sadness, confusion… it was not comfortable anymore especially not for me I couldn’t heal myself anymore. Spirits, wise guides, god or my higher-self, whatever you wish to call it, stopped feeding me information. And then I got sick. Realizing this I thought… this cannot be right, this isn’t me… and became stressed to the point of retreating to unemployment.

While stress free from the so called “real world” I decided to seek out energy manipulation, not for anything specific, I just wanted to know there was more, more for me and everyone that wanted more. I suppose as I did I have attracted just that. From that I started to study martial arts– “Tai Chi” was the art form, and from that was one of my greatest gifts–an introduction to a master healer–not associated with the small martial art group but a good friend of them. She attuned me to a great and very powerful system of healing… it was very profound. I started being able to channel energy to heal people, of pain and disease. I studied further and learned to help people with depression and other mental illness and I learned a distant prayer type healing method that could treat illness or pain across space and time!! But it was stuck at that.

She then introduced me to The Secret. This was the first time in weeks someone had told me about it. She wasn’t letting me leave with out the dvd as I suppose I really attracted powerfully. I watched it and discovered all these amazing things that I already knew… but now with a deeper reasoning and in a way that I could really help other people shape their lives. I felt as I did when I was a kid, knowing all there was to know in a very simple form. As a result I thanked every form of deity, god and universe for the unlimited energy power from my hands. When people started to feel intense heat and even wind generated as a result of the healing energy that flows from my hands I knew that it worked and that I was going to make this knowledge my way of life. I now understand meditation and have so much more meaning for it. I use it to shape the power of my healing techniques and my life to help others. I am now deeply involved in a study that will help me pass on the power to heal to a person who has knowledge of this power or even someone who doesn’t but has interest. My life is truly becoming amazing and will continue on becoming more amazing. I will be able to pass on all of this knowledge, the knowledge passed on to me through meditation, and the power of my healing arts in profound ways to help touch lives and truly devote myself to teaching this and help create better lives for people. And as a result help to shape the future for a much more miraculous experience that we call life as a human being.

Gifts You Can & Will Receive

Yes I’ve been a student of The Secret since September 2005. Has my life really changed since then? That’s for sure! Did I get what I really wanted? Of course I did, and I always will, for The Secret really does work every day.

Do you show gratitude to others every day, did you get the car you wanted, the computer you needed?
Do you have the love of your life in a very romantic relationship? Did you get the job or money coming in daily? Do you feel happy every day? Are you of service to others or a disservice to others? And do you pray daily & give thanks for your health & wellness?

I would like to thank you Rhonda. It gets so much better every day. You know I cracked the first dvd, but someone gave me another. Besides that also the power of intention gave me the wonderful book also.

Rhonda you’re a wonderful lady… I do feel very thankful for what you did in my life every day. Thank you for The Secret for the rest of the world. >>>>JJ

Checks in the Mail

I must say that I have always lived my life according to the principles of The Secret. The success that I constantly have achieved in job, business and life is an on-going source of my supply of optimism. I used The Secret to receive my BMW 330, my Condo, a new job, more money in pay.

I needed a refresher and decided to actually purchase the audio DVD to listen in the car and at work. I don’t receive bills in the mail because I have automated everything but I sure wanted to start receiving checks. Well , I gave that request to the universe and the next day, I received a check from some settlement claim. I looked at the check to see the watermarks and it was real, so I deposited the check in my account.

I also have my picture board with universe lotto wins and other destinations that I will be traveling to enjoy and relax.

I trust and know that very soon I will have the means to do whatever I want at anytime.

Please continue to trust and believe because I tell people about this at work and now I feel I just need to buy people the DVD as a gift.

“The Winning Scratcher”

On March 3, I celebrated my 40th birthday. My mom had a beautiful, catered party for me and invited all of our family and friends. Sera, a close friend of my mom’s, and someone who took care of me as a child, gave me the DVD and audio book of “The Secret”. I had heard a little bit about it, but never had much of an interest. She advised me to watch the DVD and listen to the cd’s in my car.

The next day I watched the DVD and was really intrigued. Over the course of the next three months I listened to the cd’s every day in my car until I could recite almost every word. About four weeks ago, I asked the universe for $3,000 to $5,000 extra income within the next 25 days. I said thank you for the money hundreds of times a day. I filled out the check from the universe and put it on my desk. I wrote $3,000 in my checkbook register as if I already had received the money. On the 20th day I purchased a lottery ticket scratcher and won exactly $5,000. I found out the odds of buying that ticket were 4.2 million to 1. The Secret has changed my life. Thank you!

To Have and To Hold

I guess I can describe myself as a seeker, because for as long as I can remember I have believed that there is more to life than society dictates and that the power is within us, and I have searched religions and philosophies for the answer.

Over the years I have had some amazing breakthroughs but have managed to sabotage myself by buying into the belief that others hold of me. I’ll be the fist to admit that everything I ever wanted I have or have had in my life – be it positive or negative. I mean I have had some amazing experiences, I describe my 29th year as DIVINE, where everything I touched turned to gold. I am a great listener and always help others to see the good in every situation and often help to stop others sabotaging their lives, but I have not always been that great at the practicing of what I preach.

Since the birth of my eldest, I have tried to be more proactive about creating who I want to be, but I often let circumstances distract me from my objectives. I left a very well paid job after the birth of my 2nd child, because I believe my purpose is to become a Life Coach, having made 3 attempts to get on a course with a particular organisation and not succeeding (no response), I decided to focus on myself. I listened to Dr Dwyer’s CDs, I started my Change Your Life in 7 Days programme again, then after a few days I got a phonecall from a very dear friend of mine, telling me about this website, book and DVD called The Secret. That night I downloaded the DVD and I knew immediately I had found my way home. The teachings are very familiar, especially as some of the teachers are already so dear to me, but most importantly it has reinforced and simplified my belief system and I have wept tears of joy. I will never feel lonely again.

I know now that I will be a Life Coach, but instead of training at an academy, I shall be promoting the law of attraction by example. I believe and know that the 5.75 million house in London that is so dear to my heart is mine, and that is not the only thing on my vision board that I am already receiving.

So a BIG THANK YOU to my dear friend who introduced me to The Secret, to Rhonda Byrne, The Teachers and everyone who brought The Secret into the open.

And what an amazing gift to my 2 daughters!!

I thank you with all my heart.

I Got Through The Worst Year Ever

This past year had been the most terrible year of my life. My brother who I love dearly got into trouble with the law (not attraction) and put my family into devastation. My parents told me they were getting divorced and I lost all of my friends to drugs and alcohol.

During this time I became intensely depressed and I had no idea what I could possibly do. I knew in my heart that I would get through it, but I had no idea how.

Then my mom introduced me to The Secret.

I watched it and I absolutely praised it. I began asking for things I wanted to help me get through my year. So I visualized myself with friends again and felt the feelings of love for my friends and myself. After that I became friends with who now is my best friend in the entire world and other friends who I hadn’t talked to in a while called me and now I have countless friends.

I knew this was amazing and so I have showed all of my friends The Secret and I think and talk about it every day. I now own the book, DVD, and audio tapes and watch, listen, and read a lot of the time. Also, I believe that if we have a perfect weight, we have a perfect height. I used to be a shameful 5’0” and my perfect height is 5’7”. I have noticed much growth with myself and I know with all of my being I am my perfect height. (along with perfect weight)

I just have to say thank you thank you thank you for The Secret and all of it’s greatness. It has completely changed my life and the way I live.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Think it… Receive it!

I have been wanting a pool for SO long. It had been going in and out of my head – and my husband is a “negative nancy” about anything that has to do with spending money or causing him to do some work around the house.

I bought this book…read about 50 pages so far… then my mom calls me and says they found a pool that would be perfect for my husband and I. They knew I wanted a pool 2 years ago and I have never mentioned it since to them. They found a “soft pool” for $35.00 unused with everything in it! It was a STEAL! My husband was mad I bought it… but he got over it and we will set it up as our next years project!! And now he loves the idea we have a pool!

Confirmation

I have been exposed to The Secret and the laws of attraction two times earlier in my life, but for some reason I never acted upon it. Maybe I wasn’t ready for it, or it wasn’t the right time, but for whatever reason, I never took it seriously. By the time I had gotten to where I am in life, I had completely pushed the law of attraction out of my head.

My story started in June of this year (2007). I have been an avid gardener and rare plant collector for many years. I was outside in my yard watering my plants and flowers on a hot, humid, Michigan Wednesday evening. I was lamenting on a tropical plant that I had purchased from California on ebay years ago and how bad it looked since my cat decided it would make a good resting place. It was smashed and barely hanging on. I was heartbroken, as I had had that plant for years. I would never be able to find another one if it died, let alone afford it-I wished I had another one. At that time, I was road weary from life, playing the same old audio over and over in my head as I went about my chores: “Things are so tough for me. I am tired of not making enough money. I don’t have enough to go around. How will I pay this bill? How am I going to feed my kids this week? Is this all there is to my life? I don’t want to go back to work tomorrow.”

The phone rang. I answered it on the wireless as I continued around the yard. It was my good friend in Florida. I whined to him for a few minutes, expressing my depression. Out of the blue, he asked me, “Why don’t you come down and visit for the weekend? You could relax at the beach and do whatever you want. I will pay for everything.” Now mind you, my friend is a very busy neurosurgeon and business entrepreneur. In the four years he has lived in Florida, he has never had enough time off for me to visit. I couldn’t believe my ears and I jumped at the chance.

I took a flight out late Friday afternoon and arrived in Tampa around seven. My friend picked me up and we grabbed dinner at a local restaurant. While we were eating, he said to me, “I have something I want you to watch when we get to my house.” That’s all that he would say about it.

When we arrived at his home, he put in a DVD for me-The Secret. I watched in amazement, and it seemed that something stirred inside of me. As I continued to watch, I became more and more excited-I remember this! I stared at my friend in disbelief! Here was this highly educated man- a brain surgeon and an extremely successful individual who I looked up to and have had the utmost respect for-and he believes in The Secret? And he is sharing it with me? Wow, that was something to think about. If he believed in it, there must be something to it.

The rest of the weekend I spent relaxing at the beach, eating out and going to the movies. I was having a nice relaxing time; taking my mind off of things, but the whole time The Secret kept bouncing in and out of my head. I decided that I would buy the DVD when I got home and think some more about it. I relegated it the back of my mind for the rest of the trip.

Sunday finally rolled around and I was sad. Sad about saying good bye to my friend, but sadder about going back to my same old depressing life. I packed my suitcase, dragging my feet the whole way to the airport. My friend and I said our good-byes and I proceeded to the check in counter inside. When I got up to the counter, there was a confusing mob of upset and angry people. It seemed my flight had been canceled and there wasn’t another one until the next night. I can tell you that I wasn’t too heartbroken! My friend came back to the airport and picked me up. Since he had to work the next day, I stayed around the house, using his swimming pool.

The next day, as I floated in the middle of the pool on my back completely relaxed, I felt the sunshine soaking into my body. I was in an almost Zen state. I opened my eyes and began looking around at the landscaping, admiring how plants that only grow in pots at home, grow freely in people’s yards in Florida. Suddenly, I gasped! Could that be? I stood straight up. I swam to the far end of the pool and gave the shrubbery a hard look. Yes, it is! It was the same tropical plant that my cat had nearly destroyed at home-and it was growing like a weed in the hedge, out of control, invading every open inch it could get too! Then it all hit me at once, in flashes before my eyes-The Secret, the law of attraction, abundance, ask and ye shall receive… all of it! I was dizzy. Talk about a confirmation! This was a defining moment. I had only wished for another plant five days ago! That was it… I mean-how many times does it have to hit me in the head? I dug a few small plants and carefully packed them in a box to carry back on the airplane. I felt like I had a whole new outlook on life.

It’s amazing to me how all of the circumstances came into play for me to watch The Secret DVD-my friend having enough time for me to visit, my flight being canceled, etc.; no coincidence in my book.

Now I am taking the laws of attraction seriously and putting into practice what I have learned from The Secret. The best part is that I have a constant reminder of how abundant the universe is -my plants! They sit in a pot on my deck. I look at them every morning on my way out to work and I see them first thing when I get home. A constant reminder that the laws of attraction are a reality.

Job you want!

I loved the school my daughters attend, and the staff, and I wanted a job there and was told that I would not get that job. I was however allowed to substitute in that job. I read The Secret and decided I would apply it toward this job. I visualized my name in the closet where personal belongings go, I told everyone that this was my job and was intended for me, as I was the best person for the job. I completely believed that I would indeed get this job, even after being told that it would never happen. I am now being offered that position at that school, and am happier than ever. You can have whatever you want if you believe it is yours…. and I intend to continue asking for all I want. I am very grateful for this job!

The powerful mind

My sister introduced The Secret to me (at one of my low points). Little did I know that it would transform my life. I had suffered with chronic anxiety and depression for several years. The anxiety was so severe that I avoided doing things, feared change, and wasn’t able to make decisions without getting someone else’s approval. I was basically existing. Once I read the The Secret everything started to make sense. I felt like someone had taken the blindfold off my eyes. I had worked with a program called Attacking Anxiety and Depression but it didn’t seem to help until after I read The Secret. At that point everything made sense to me about the program. After that, one thing after another has happened to me. I was introduced to yoga, meditation, holistic healing, “LIFE”. I am very very grateful for the knowledge that I now possess. Thank you Rhonda and everyone who made it possible to bring The Secret to the world.

Before all this took place in my life, I was constantly focusing all my energy and thoughts on anxiety. The why me? Why can’t I get over this? How long is this going to last? Am I going to live with this the rest of my life? Finally one day (before I read the book) I asked our Lord, please give me the knowledge, the patience, the energy to overcome this anxiety. Guess what, my prayer was answered. I love life now and everything that it has to offer. Now I look at each day as a new possibility and give thanks for the simple reason of being given one more day.
