My Life Is A Miracle.

Republished from The Secret


Thank you my dear Rhonda! Thank you and your wonderful team! Thank you God and the Universe for showing me the way to this miracle! Since a friend introduced me to The Secret and I was guided to The Magic I am feeling that every minute in my life is a gift from God. I am very happy and thankful because of everything in my life, my health, my loving boyfriend, my family, my friends and my job.
For a long time I was hoping to find my soulmate. The man who I can give all my love and make happy for the rest of my life. A man who can see in me the love of his life. I prayed to God asking him to help and guide me to my soulmate and that we fall in love with each other.
Finally it happened. I met the man of my dreams. He has everything I wish from my soulmate. He loves me, respects me, is very sweet and gives me protection. We love each other very much and our love is growing every day. We both wish for a family and a happy, life full of love together.
Thanks to all of you for sharing your amazing stories and making it possible that more and more people can change their lives forever. Have patience and faith and you will see how your dreams will come true.
From a woman who is living a wonderful and happy life with the man of her dreams.

The Magic Works!

Republished from The Secret


I’ve had The Magic on my bookshelf for many years. I started reading it once, but I just suddenly stopped. I got it back out a little over a month ago and here is what has happened so far:
I was living in a dark basement apartment that was very expensive. I’d lost completely control over my finances and was drowning in debt payments. My car was barely working. I was suffering from anxiety more than ever because of the stress with debt. I was not feeling as happy and grateful as I was supposed to feel.
Now, only 6 weeks after starting to read The Magic:
I am moving today into a brighter, cheaper apartment with a view!
I have gotten a loan from the bank to cover all my debt so I now only have to pay the bank.
I got a new car with extremely low milage and it is in perfect condition.
My anxiety has let go completely.
The Magic reminded me how to truly be grateful. Every day I receive something wonderful and I write it in my journal. Free dinner, money I needed for a bill, flowers and so on. Yesterday my aunts suddenly decided to give me a brand new bed as a moving in present. I have never ever owned a brand new bed before! 
I cannot express my gratitude enough for Rhonda and her people for making the world a better place! I am truly forever grateful!

Attracted A Job!!

Republished from The Secret


I want to start by thanking Rhonda and her awesome team for bringing the The Secret to all of us. Keep up the good work you guys.
When I was in school for my Masters degree I was desperately searching for an on campus job in order to help with my daily expenses. Having come to the US from India, everything in the US was obviously very expensive for me as I was still paying for stuff in rupees. I had already known about The Secret for 2 years. I had watched the movie and read The Power and The Magic but for some reason I had never tried to implement it for anything.
One day during my job search the thought about the law of attraction just crossed my mind. I told my boyfriend about it as even he was trying to search for a new job, as he had just resigned from an old job that was making him unhappy. So from that day on, both of us shared with each other all the things that we were grateful for in our lives and then we would practice the law of attraction by imagining that we already have the jobs that make us happy. Not much happened initially but we still kept going on.
Three weeks later I saw a posting of a job that I had been interested in right from the start. As soon as I saw the posting I knew that the job was mine. I applied for it and a few days later I got an email asking me for an interview. I was offered the job on the day of the interview itself. Four days after I was offered a job, my boyfriend went for an interview and he got his job too!
It is easy to get lost in our everyday lives and to forget to be grateful for all the wonderful things we have. Just be grateful, have faith and believe, and then you will always have the life you want.
Thank you Universe for everything!!!!

Learning Disability Gone!

Republished from The Secret


I just had to share this, I cannot believe this has happened.
I was never diagnosed as a child. I could read very well and I guess 40 years ago Dyslexia was the only known learning disability. So I could read really well and was treated like I was just being dumb, stubborn, or lazy with spelling and writing assignments.
I really have a hard time when someone spells something for me, I have to get them to spell it over and over. It is like having the letters for the word, address or phone number on 6 sized cubes, flipping in my head. I get only one or two letters at any given spelling. I never get them in the right order either, when I was young it felt like craziness to me.
Well about 2 weeks ago I was so embarrassed on a conference call at work, for the first time I was able really put the feeling into the steps of asking, believing and receiving. I would think about being able to spell well and cry with joy!!!!
Eight days later I was driving and my son asked me to spell a word and it popped into my head. Clear as a bell, perfect! That has never happened to me before, ever! I am so grateful!!

I Believe!

Republished from The Secret


I was at the library one day searching for a book to read and I passed by The Secret book twice. The third time I saw the book facing me on the shelf where it would normally be side ways on the shelf. Fascinated by the book, I read 80 pages within one day. While reading the book I decided to practice and try it out for myself.
My closet was needing a makeover and I was trying to lose weight. So as I remembered what I read and studied I began to change my thought process of how to receive things. Having an attitude of gratefulness I went into my closet and cleaned out old clothes and left an open space for new clothes. One week later my husband decided since I was out with my mom, I should go ahead and shop for myself which I rarely do. When I came back home to hang up the clothes, I noticed I had just enough clothes to fit into the space. My mind was surprised but happy at the same time.
I decided to see if this was really happening or merely a coincidence. Weeks later I decided since I was unemployed I would use the lessons learned again from The Secret. Each morning I would wake up and have meetings as if I was at work. One week later I was on an interview and hired the following week where I’m the happiest I have ever been. When I accepted the job my first desire was to be the number 1 Recruiter and guess what?!
Today I was informed that I’m over my goals and I’m currently the number 1 Recruiter for the entire company and I’ve only been with the company for 1 month. Just to give you a number of how large the company is, we have branches worldwide including Canada and Alaska. Just when I thought I should go another route in my career I feel like this is my season and time.
There are so many stories to share but the final one entails me misplacing my wedding ring. Anyone who loves their spouse and wedding ring can relate to the feeling of a naked finger and that empty feeling when it’s misplaced. My exact words were “I summon my ring to me today” and as I went about my day as if my ring was not misplaced. Then I spotted her in my drawer hiding under other items.
The Secret works and I’m excited of all the changes that have occurred since me finding The Secret, or should I say “The Secret finding me”. The possibilities are endless as I have so many more stories to tell. Watch out for my Infinity Suv QX80 story to come as I know it’s destined to be mine.
Again, thank you!

The Six Month Secret Experiment

Republished from The Secret


I first read The Secret on the 4th August 2014 and for that I will be forever grateful. A friend had recommended it to me after I told her about my clear visions of the future; How I wanted to help people believe in themselves, to be a motivational speaker and coach and to travel. But also that I was feeling so stressed and overwhelmed by life, bills and the extreme diet I was following in preparation to compete as a first time bikini competitor, that I couldn’t see how it would happen.
That night by page ten I had goose bumps, my heart was racing and I knew I was discovering something really important. The “aha” for me was that I had a choice about how I felt.
Three months later I was contemplating ending my life.
Within weeks of reading The Secret I was a magnet for opportunity. Introducing gratitude to my life made everything seem smoother, even beginning to feel grateful for a body I had felt uncomfortable in and dieted to change since I was 12. Even though I considered myself a positive person, I became aware of how much negativity I’d unwittingly been allowing into my life. By choosing to change my thoughts everything else changed for the better. Giving my first ever motivational talk about the power of our mind set only one month after reading the book, I visualized the room full and it was. Then I signed a contract for a new business and website with plans of sharing all I had learned with the world. My mood had improved drastically, starting each day with gratitude I felt good and was going to bed each night excited like a child on Christmas Eve.
On 4th of October 14’ I stood on stage and competed. I knew immediately it wasn’t for me and was feeling positive about beginning a more balanced life and setting my plans for the future in motion. The week after competing as I struggled to eat foods that weren’t part of the restrictive plan I had been following, anxiety kicked in. Along with panic at even the slightest weight gain and imagining my clothes were feeling tighter. The realization that I had been living my whole life with an Eating Disorder began to sink in. That same week I lost the investment for my business, the close friend who recommended The Secret cut me out of her life via text. Something I now understand, but then my heart was breaking and I felt a fraud and a failure.
Three of the most challenging months were to follow during which I began to binge in secret, then make myself sick. The guilt and shame this caused me led to chronic anxiety and I was barely able to leave my house. Consumed with negative thoughts about myself and my body, I began to contemplate ending my life, to escape the pain of my own thoughts. Knowing the devastating effect this would have on my two children aged 10 and 6, here was my rock bottom. Deep down a voice whispered “Hannah, maybe this is your journey, maybe you are meant to find a way to get through this so you can share it with others.” and that is when The Secret truly changed my life.
Filled with anger and resentment about how my life had turned out, then guilt for thinking that way, I wondered if the books principles would really work in this situation, with anxiety, despair and a lifetime of hating my body. So I decided to become a guinea pig in a six month experiment, creating ten rules inspired by all I had read in The Secret. Feel good triggers including gratitude, love, kindness, being aware of negativity in my thoughts, feelings or actions and trading it for positivity. My crucial rule was number 3: “Be kind to my reflection. Pay myself a compliment when I look in the mirror”.
Each night even when it seemed impossible, I would visualize the life I wanted and the person I wanted to be, carefree around food, happy and successful, traveling to America. I’d see my passport in my hand and hear the sounds of the airport, and a goal to talk with Oprah Winfrey on Super Soul Sunday.
The positive effects were immediate, from day one I noticed a difference. Each day my sense of well-being, love for life and love for myself grew stronger. A journey that had begun with the simple goal of feeling better than I did, had transformed my life and it’s positive effect radiated out to everyone I came in to contact with.
So many amazing events took place over the six months that I have a separate journal of hundreds of things that manifested into my life. Being accepted to co- author to 20 Beautiful Women Volume 3, becoming a Huffington Post Contributor and writing for local and national newspapers are just a few. An amazing breakthrough was that along the way I said hello to self love which meant goodbye to a lifetime of body shame and my eating disorder. Instead of a negative, painful process that most of what I read described recovery to be, it was a positive and remarkably quick journey.
I now know for sure that if you visualize what you want in life, if you are grateful for all that is in it now, not only believe it is possible but love yourself enough to believe you are worth it, it will come. Most often in a way you least expect. The priceless gift that my experiment gave me was the journey.
I have wanted to write this piece for a long time and this week it felt right. Having visualized a trip to the US since I began, I have just returned from Philadelphia. There I spoke with literary agents about my own book about my Secret Experiment, I had the opportunity to not only hear live but meet the amazing Jack Canfield who’s words in The Secret gave me strength during some of my darkest moments. This experience showed me there is no limit to what is possible and I want to share with the world that life is meant to be amazing. To everyone, not only those people who are living with eating disorders or have negative thoughts about their body I want to say “You deserve to and are meant to live an amazing life and all the tools you need to do so are within you right now”.
I’m glad I hit rock bottom because it forced me to choose change. But you don’t have to experience it to live a better life. Unless you are excited by and proud of your life, unless you are a friend to yourself, unless you can feel gratitude so strongly it’s a physical feeling, then there is room for change. When you create an environment that your true and authentic self can thrive in, everything is possible and there truly is no limit.
Dream big and make those dreams happen. You can hold me accountable to two of mine, to be interviewed by Oprah and to work on a book project with Jack Canfield!
