Dear Rhonda,

I know you must get hundreds of stories about The Secret changing people's lives, but I wanted to e-mail you to THANK YOU for changing mine. I bought the book this past winter, read it quickly, and started to "Live The Secret". After a while, I let it go until my Mom gave me the audio book. I played it to work and back every day for weeks to really understand and use it on a day-to-day basis. I loved hearing the stories but never really thought anything of it more than "Wow, I guess it worked for others. Maybe one day I will be powerful enough to have it really work for me too." Then, a few weeks ago, a new career opportunity was presented to me. I knew I wanted a change but knew (and was told) there was a little to NO chance I would ever get the job that I wanted. I knew then that this was the perfect time to take control of my life and use The Secret.

From the day I submitted my resume to the company, I did EVERYTHING The Secret told me to do. I started clearing my office of my personal items, started cancelling all the services I had at my current job, and even wrote a resignation letter ahead of time because I knew I had to already feel and know I had what I wanted. Besides doing that, I wrote and wrote and wrote as much as I could Charles Haanel's mantra and my own mantra to convince myself I had the power to change my own life. I purchased an outfit that I would wear on my first day of my new job, and I bought a pot plant for my new office. Every night, I closed my eyes and imagined setting up my new desk. Others in my life were negative, yet I was determined that NOTHING was going to get in the way of my thoughts and visualizations.

There were times I had doubt so strong I never thought I could overcome the feelings, but I did. Guess what happened then... sure enough, I was the one who got the job offer. There was little chance of me ever being chosen, but I was, and I KNOW I was the one who made that happen.

Now in my life I make sure to be grateful every single second of the day. I am proud to say that I love saying "thank you" any time I can, even if it is for the smallest thing in the world. I look at my life as a canvas just waiting for me to paint everything I could ever desire and want on it. If I want a specific question answered, I ask for the answer. If I want a new dress, I focus on the dress and visualize wearing it, and sure enough, I find the exact dress I want. It is absolutely amazing to think that I have the power of the universe in me. ME! And anyone, ANYONE can do the same.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Now, everyone I meet I tell them that they CAN and should take control and change their own lives. Thank you for giving me a greater gift than I could ever imagine.
