I began reading The Secret several weeks ago after seeing What The Bleep Do We Know. The Secret has truly changed my life. I was a sad regretful person who spent most days miserable, hopeless, and tired. I blamed myself for everything and saw no future worth having. The most painful part of my life was a relationship that was not what I wanted it to be due to poor decisions in the past. I began using the methods in The Secret to ask, believe, and receive a new version of this relationship. A few days ago I went to sleep concentrating on getting a hug from my friend and love who lives across the country. I felt the hug, envisioned the scene, and felt the feelings. I did not know how this would happen, but I felt it as if it were already happening. One night later, with fifteen minutes planning, I was speeding down the interstate to spend twelve hours with this very person while he was on a layover at the airport on his way home from Europe. When I picked him up, I turned my back to grab something. Imagine my delight when I felt his arms wrap around me EXACTLY as I had envisioned the night before. It was as if he had seen my vision and was acting accordingly. It was an amazing feeling and really helped me see that spending my time and energy on creating the most joyous life ever is the most important work I can do.
