If you are doubting the power of your own ability to draw abundance into your life, read this. I turned a relationship that was on the rocks into the most beautiful love story ever written with nothing but love in my heart and gratitude every day.

When I first listened to The Secret, it was because I had credits on my account, and I like to listen to books when I drive. I was about to embark on a long drive to see my boyfriend. I didn’t mean to play The Secret. I didn’t even mean to get it! I meant to play an entirely different book but I was already driving. I figured I’d listen.

I was instantly pulled in.

My boyfriend and I had been fighting on a regular basis because of his ex-girlfriend. I was terrified that we were going to break up because I loved him. His ex-girlfriend had been consuming my thoughts. I couldn’t say one positive thing about her, no matter how much I tried to forget, I felt trapped. I could not let go of my negative feelings towards her. I held onto so much resentment about the past with so much passion that it became my present. I manifested my present. The fighting, the pain, the lies told to me. I brought all of that into my reality.

Then I listened to The Secret. I became full of hope! The Universe couldn’t hear my negative thoughts, and it couldn’t understand that I wanted my boyfriend to stop talking to her, that I wanted her to go away, the only thing the Universe could understand was that I was thinking about HER.

Those thoughts were bringing her deeper into my life, and deeper into my relationship. I was giving her all of my energy without realizing it.

I decided to test The Secret on my long drive. I was meeting my boyfriend and his friends at a bar, but there was no way I’d make it on time. I really wanted to make it on time.

I tried to use the law of attraction. I imagined the traffic disappearing. I asked the Universe for a safe drive that got me to the restaurant in time to meet his friends because I love him. I imagined pulling into the parking spot and walking in. I imagined hugging and kissing my boyfriend and saying hi to all of his friends. Keeping in mind, this didn’t seem possible for me to actually do.

Before I knew it, traffic let up, cars were moving out of my way. I had no idea how any of this was possible. My ETA jumped up by an hour. When I arrived at the restaurant, I saw my boyfriend’s motorcycle. The vision that I created on the drive became a reality within 5 hours! I pulled into a parking spot and walked into the restaurant, and I hugged him so passionately before I met his friends.

So The Secret might be real. I tested it further.

I told my boyfriend how handsome he looked, how much I appreciated his generosity, his honesty, and how grateful I am to have him in my life. I told him that I loved him, and everything about him. I held his hands and told him how much I appreciate his hands, his arms, and his hair. I felt so much in love at that moment that I couldn’t believe it. We had been fighting earlier that day, but all I felt was love.

I told him that I wanted to stop arguing. And I meant it. Once I shifted my thinking to the things that I love about him, the things I love about my relationship, everything changed!

His ex-girlfriend seemed to vanish, the lies stopped, we laughed again, we held each other again, and we fell asleep holding hands again. He touched my back as he passed me in the kitchen again as a sign of affection and I thanked the Universe every single time that we got closer. This all happened within one week!

After months of fighting, it only took one week of appreciation and gratitude to completely shift my relationship back to love, back to happiness, and back to peace.

One year later, on the exact same day that I discovered The Secret, he proposed to me. He asked me to be his wife, and he gave me the most beautiful rose gold 5kt engagement ring. I started crying, not because he was proposing, but because I had dreamed about that exact ring.

I didn’t know it, but that was the ring I had been dreaming of my entire life. I didn’t have to know that was my dream engagement ring, the law of attraction knew what I wanted and gave it to me. My life, my present, my mindset, and my future all changed on that one drive, listening to The Secret, then practicing gratitude and love.
