Ten Ways The Secret Helped YOU

Giving Up Smoking

I was sitting in my car over lunch hour listening to the audio CD of "The Secret," declaring my perfect health. I looked over at my hand and there was a half smoked cigarette still burning between my first two fingers. I paused and stared at it for a moment, focusing my attention on it and completely aware. I realized at that moment that my actions were not mirroring my desires and what I actually wanted. I was saying one thing and doing quite another.

I proclaimed to the Universe at that moment "I AM A NON SMOKER", I believed it was true and was done that instant! I believe that I was completely aligned with the Universe and God and at that moment asked for what I wanted, believed I received it, and gave thanks. After 25+ years of smoking I was a non-smoker at that moment and for the rest of my existence.

Creating Wealth

I remember years ago telling my first Religious Science minister that I had changed my consciousness of money. She then asked me how much money I had in my bank account. I naively said, "That doesn't matter. I've changed my consciousness and I know that things are going to change." [She said], "Don't tell me you've changed your consciousness if you haven't changed your situation." She started asking me how I was budgeting my money, what I was doing to make and invest money. At that time I was stuck in the magical "think pretty thoughts" kind of thinking.

Now, of course, I understand that her whole point was I had to become the kind of person who creates wealth if I want to have wealth, not just affirm "money comes to me easily and effortlessly." The affirmations and other "inner work" are supposed to change you so that you become available to take advantage of opportunity, as they surely will come.

Money for College

In high school I needed money to go to college, I needed a teacher who would help me to not fall through the cracks. I ended up finding the perfect person at the last minute, who helped me get $65,000 for college paid in full and every thing I needed including dorms, meal plan, and books. I never saw one penny of the actual physical money but school was paid for. AND I went to the exact school that I wanted to. I never doubted that I would go to college.

I believe [the law of attraction] has always worked for me in some way or another. Even finding my husband, and having all that I have now. I am greatly appreciative to God for all the things in my life. Being grateful helps a lot.
