Hi Everyone!

I want to thank Rhonda Byrne for sharing The Secret with us and also this wonderful community of people here for sharing their success stories and continuing to inspire people around the world.

I read The Secret about four years ago when I was in college. The knowledge I gained changed my life. It helped me see and understand the mistakes I was making in my life and it helped me turn my life around. I learnt how to build everlasting friendships, create success and also to find the lessons in those areas of my life where I failed. The Secret taught me the magic of Positivity.

Knowing The Secret isn’t enough though. We must keep refreshing our knowledge and our faith in it.

When I started working two years ago, I started out with this knowledge. I attracted a great team with some of the most wonderful people I have ever known. The work I was assigned however, wasn’t the one I wanted. Nevertheless, I took it up with great enthusiasm and joy. I learned much on the job and gave it my best. I managed to become a respected and trusted member of our team, despite being a junior.

Soon however, negativity began to creep in. Some of my friends began receiving wonderful opportunities to go abroad, getting higher raises and awards. They were doing the kind of work I’d always wanted to do. Despite asking my managers countless times to be allowed to work on such projects, I was always denied the work and the opportunities. I also started suspecting some work politics being played out against me. Slowly I went from being a happy, positive person to a sad, jaded and negative one.

If I was as good as most people told me I was, why were people less deserving than me getting all the opportunities and rewards? Why wasn’t I going places? I’d cry for hours wondering at the “unfairness” of it all. I’d shout out to God, asking whether I’d been forgotten somehow. I forgot all about gratitude.

When I hit rock bottom, it finally dawned upon me that I needed to refresh my knowledge of The Secret. I began re-reading my favourite passages of the books, reading all the stories posted on this site and watching the movie whenever I got time.

I thanked the Universe for the times I had failed, because they showed me who my true friends where and taught me much. I thanked the Universe for all the wonderful things I had: A beautiful family and wonderful friends who supported me through the darkest of times, food in front of me, money in my wallet, a roof above my head, a job I liked most of the time, great teammates. I began to wonder, how could I ever have forgotten all of this?

I visualized all that I wanted and started believing that I would receive them, no matter how impossible it appeared then. It’s not our job to worry about how we will receive the things we want. When we do that, we actually put constraints on our dreams and desires. When we visualize the things we want, we need to focus only on them and leave out the “how” part of it. We also need to trust that the Universe will deliver. In strange, miraculous ways we never thought possible, the Universe comes to our rescue. Believe me, at first, it will be an uphill task, but it gets easier along the way.

Today, I’m one step closer to achieving my dreams. I finally have been assigned the kind of work I always wanted to do. It brings along with it a whole lot of new things; a brand new team, a new office, new clients and new managers and a whole new path. But I’m going to use The Secret every day this time. I will do my best at work and attract all the opportunities and rewards. If I fail, I will learn from them and do better. I know I will succeed if I keep my knowledge of The Secret close to my heart.

If you’re going through a rough time, hang in there. Go back to The Secret and trust it. Have faith in the Universe. It will surely, definitely deliver. Then share your story here. 🙂

If my story has helped even person reading it, it will be another success for me.

Stay blessed!

P.S. I apologize for how long this story is!
