My Afternoon with The Secret
Submitted by: Mariana
Costa RicaAll I did was think, think, and re-think about anything that happened to me, whether it was good or bad. But I was always thinking… “over thinking”, as I call it. A couple of days ago I decided to cancel a trip I had to go to Europe, due to several situations and perhaps me “over thinking” that bad things could of gone wrong. Before my decision, every single day was packed with stress, worries and negative thoughts… nothing was just “ok”. I felt mentally charged with everything. Nothing came out as I had planned it, so I felt really sad.
Yesterday, one of my best friends told me it would be a good idea to just sit down and talk. I thought it was such a nice gesture to just relax, sit down and talk with your best and dearest friend, so I said yes. I picked her up, we went to a restaurant and I started to tell her the whole “Euro-crisis” drama I had only visualized in my mind, even though the trip hadn’t even started. I saw her while she observed and paid attention to me, until she asked me “Have you read The Secret?” I said – “No, I have no idea what the secret is.” She started to tell me her experience after she had read it, and all I did was think that it may be interesting, but I really didn’t get it. She kept talking about how she is now more grateful with the things she has, and gave me the “wealth” examples of setting your mind to visualize lots and lots of cash. I thought it was kind of “crazy talk” (did not get it at all).
I wake up this morning and all I could think about was The Secret. It was suddenly so attractive to me, so I decided to call my favorite book store and ask them if they had it. “We have the last one”. I hurried up to buy it as if it was the last book on earth… And when I held it in my hands, I thought, wow, this is so precious, I can’t wait to open it and start reading.
Well, I’m about to finish it and I bought it today! It has opened my eyes in such a way, it’s almost overwhelming, and the positive sensation was filling up my body when I flipped every page. It is amazing how in one afternoon I was feeling completely different. I am amazed how this Secret has revealed itself in my life and I am very much convinced that I will be using The Secret from now on. When I was in the cafeteria reading, I was constantly smiling and meditating every single sentence and thinking, how was I missing on THIS???. People stared at me and I stared back smiling at them.
I feel like a new person, I feel happy, I feel blessed, and I feel this huge faith within me, that just everything is really feeling like “your wish is my command!”.
I have and believe in my new horizon, or perhaps a horizon I already had, but hadn’t yet believed in. Now I do and I see things sooo much clearer, like water.
I am so grateful with this book, I will forever treasure it. Thank you for letting me post this little story.
Best wishes for all of you out there!
