The Sleigh Ride
Submitted by: Maria
NS, CanadaMy story is just about something small.
I read The Secret a while ago and right after I read the book I was ready to change my life. But then after a couple days I just gave up on trying it on anything, because it seemed really hard to be positive about something, and think something was going to happen, even though I KNEW it wouldn’t. That was my problem. I didn’t believe The Secret would work. So I decided to test it out on something small.
I had a basketball game coming up, right on the same day that my all my friends planned to go on a sleigh ride. I was upset that it was on the same day, at the same time as the sleigh ride, because I really wanted to go. So I used The Secret to get my basketball game canceled. My coach had given me a sheet of all the dates and times of our games and practices, so I took a pencil and crossed a line through the game I wanted canceled, and wrote CANCELED beside it. I did it about 3 days before the game, and guess what? The day before the game my coach came up and told me our game was canceled because they couldn’t get the gym time. I was extremely happy because now I could go on the sleigh ride with all my friends!
I didn’t realize until a few days later, when I looked at my basketball schedule that The Secret had worked! I believed that my game would be canceled, and even acted like it already did, and then it actually did get canceled! Amazing! Now I’m going to start using The Secret more often, and try for bigger things.
