Taught Wife And Kids The Secret
Submitted by: Carlos De La Torre
West Palm Beach FL - and Lima-PeruSince I saw The Secret (beginning of 2007), many good unexpected things have been happening along 2007. The one that amazed me most was:
On December 27 2007 I left home for work… at the airport my second child, Nicolas(7), as he was saying good bye, asked me if I could please give him a dog as a present next time I come home – something he had been asking for the last 2 years, but for many reasons was not possible to do at that time. So I hugged him and told him to his ear: “Nicolas, every night when you go to bed, just ask for it, visualize it as if it is already at home. Do not focus on how, just imagine and feel that you already have it. and I can assure you that in the most unexpected way you will have it… being me buying it or your mom or any uncle or aunty giving it to you as a present. But, you have to believe and be certain you have it. Just as you wished for me to come home for Christmas and in the most unexpected way (even after my boss had told me NO!! one month earlier) just happened within 6 days before Christmas that the chance to come home just opened before me.” Then I kissed him and my wife and took the plane.
One week and a half later, on a Monday morning, my wife told me on the phone that that morning a neighbor knocked on the door and said, “Your dog is outside.” My wife replied, “We do not have a dog.” The neighbor said, “Then who’s is this,” pointing at a puppy that was sitting right at our door.
What is amazing is that this was a 3 month old puppy (as the veterinarian confirmed). Also, our door is not at the street sidewalk, it is inside a “quinta” – this is a place where there are like 10 houses inside a long corridor with no ceiling in the corridor… and all the houses are right next to each other (stuck together). And our house is at the end of the corridor. Therefore the puppy must have got through the front gate facing the sidewalk, and then walked about 50 meters, ignoring and passing by all the other house doors, and sat right at our door. PLUS, it was just the kind of dog Nicolas always wanted – labrador like light brown dog.
And then, when they decided to keep him, my wife asked Nicolas what name he will like to choose for the dog. And he said “Camila”. My wife just could not believe it, as Camila was the name of her dog when she was a child, something none of our kids knew about.
I feel so happy that my kids are learning about the Secret early in their lives. Every day we live the Secret – me, my wife, and my kids – and whenever they forget a little bit, I always remind them using stories and examples to build confidence and faith in themselves, and to eventually eliminate any negative thoughts or emotion out of their minds. I always help my wife and kids to realize this and face life as it is… a wonderful gift to be lived full of love, joy, happiness, and inspiration, making it abundant in all senses.
Thank you Rhonda and to all the team of The Secret for sharing this knowledge, bringing joy and happiness to millions around the globe.
