This is my first secret story, and I can’t even tell you how happy I am to be writing on here! 🙂

First off, just wanted to say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to Rhonda for actually bringing us The Secret, and to everyone who wrote stories on here. Every time I needed some inspiration, I’d come on here, read stories, and feel as though a candle of hope had been re-lit. Without everyone on this website, I wouldn’t have gotten the life I deserve and had always dreamed of.

So, my story. Well, my English teacher had shown my grade 9 class The Secret DVD, but it never registered. I had seen Oprah talking about it before too, but I always thought it was just a myth, or just a big stupid lie. When I got into grade 12, life began to take a down-whirl spiral. My crush, who I was certain was about to ask me out, started dating one of his best friends, my mom was diagnosed with cancer, and my grades began to slip as a result of everything. I started drinking more and more to forget all of the pain I was feeling, and I felt like I was drowning. I even started having thoughts of suicide, fairly convinced life wasn’t worth living anymore.

One day in January, a voice in my head rang out loud and clear. It said, “Go read The Secret.” At that time, I didn’t really remember what it was, so I researched it, and found the movie online. I watched it, and suddenly everything clicked! Why I was feeling so depressed, why everything was going wrong, it all finally made sense! I realized that all the problems in my life, even those that weren’t mine, were all a result of our thinking. From that moment on, I made it a personal goal to always think positive.

Slowly but surely, things began turning around. My crush, his girlfriend, and I, had all been in the same class, so I had to see them everyday. But then, the semester ended, and they broke up the first week of the new semester. And to top it off, he started talking and flirting with me more and more! My grades slowly began increasing (except in French, but I had a crappy teacher), and my mom had surgery that removed all traces of cancer! Life was good, and I felt on top of the world. At that point though, I got comfortable with my life, and sort of began not feeling grateful and happy as often as I should have.

Then, everything got lost. My doubts came creeping back, and it got even worse. My dog was put down in May, and the following week, I made the decision to tell my crush how I felt. I went into the situation not having the most confidence in the outcome, and it didn’t turn out at all the way I planned. The following Friday, he went into mean-guy mode. I won’t get into what he did, but it definitely made me cry.

Now, a few months later, we graduated, and he didn’t talk to me after I told him. I thought he was going to leave for college without saying anything more to me. I decided to use the LOA to make him phone me, and arrange to meet up. I decided that I wanted him to call on Wednesday. I was having a few doubts about it, but I tried pretending that it was Wednesday and he had called me. I visualized us sitting and talking, and getting along, all the while, getting everything out in the open. I imagined how good I would feel after we talked, and everything else I wanted. I found a story on here that I can’t remember the name of, that suggested writing out stories of what you wanted, and how you would feel once it was obtained. I started doing that, and I felt even better!

Finally, Wednesday rolled around, and I made sure to be extremely positive and thankful for everything. It got to be night-time, and he hadn’t called yet. I was trying hard to stay positive, but it was getting challenging. I decided to go read a book, the Secret of course!, to take my mind off of the situation, and lo-and-behold, guess who calls me? My crush! He said that he had meant to call me before, but for some reason always put the phone down. When he said that, I realized it was my thoughts that had caused him to put down the phone all those times! Then he asked me if I wanted to meet up and talk, which I of course said yes too! Now we’re hanging out on Monday, and now I’m working on asking the LOA to make him my boyfriend!

I know this has been a long story, and if you’re still reading it, I thank you. If you ever have doubts about the Secret working, TRUST ME! IT WORKS. I never thought I would honestly get him to call me, and he did. Now, who knows what else will happen! If I can do it, you certainly can. I wish you all the best… you deserve it!
