Chicago, IL25 year old dreamer about to marry the love of her life.
First of all, I want to say thank you so very much to Rhonda and her team at The Secret for sharing The Secret with me and everyone else all around the world. It has, and continues to change my life in ways I never thought nor dreamed could ever happen to me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I was given The Secret book and The Secret movie by my wonderful future mother-in-law back two years ago in the summer. At that time, I had just graduated college, was newly engaged, desperately seeking employment, planning a wedding, living with my sister, and living 3 hours away from my fiancé. As you can guess, I had a lot going on in my life at that time, and I had no idea how to tackle everything at once. When I was given The Secret, I dismissed it and thought nothing of it for months. Then, I read the book. Next, I watched the movie. And it blew my mind! I tried using the law of attraction for a short time after that, mostly for hearing songs on the radio or even parking spots. And it worked! I enjoyed seeing things happen and all through my thoughts.
Eventually, I stopped using The Secret and forgot about it. And it was not until a long car ride in April two years later that it truly hit home for me and changed my outlook on life.
About mid-April, I had to drive 3 hours from Joliet, IL, to my hometown in Indiana just to pick up a prescription and then drive all the way back to Illinois. That morning, I was in such a negative state and I was worrying about everything and nothing. It truly felt exhausting, and as I was driving, I was trying to think of a way to get rid of my depressive mood. As I was driving, I remembered some things that I had read in The Secret. My mind then drifted to what I saw in the movie about driving a new car. The car I drive is a 2001 yellow Nissan Altima and it was starting to become a financial burden within the last year. I decided I would visualize and feel what it would be like driving a different car, one that I want for myself someday. So, I imagined that I was driving a brand-new, dark red Chevy Equinox. And, to make it interesting, I imagined that it had Indiana license plates on it because I am wanting to move from Illinois back to Indiana to be closer to my family and friends. I imagined what it felt like to hold onto the steering wheel, to smell that new car smell, and I even imagined that I was sitting up higher than everyone else since the Equinox is bigger than my Altima. I even pretended that I could feel the outline of the Chevy symbol on my steering wheel and traced the outline with my fingertips to make it seem more real. I did this for no more than 30 minutes, and during that entire time, I felt wonderful about owning and driving my dream car. I began feeling immensely better, so I turned on some music and concentrated on positive feelings. Eventually, I forgot about driving my dream car. I just imagined it and sent it out to the Universe. What happened next blew my mind.
As I was driving, still in the state of Illinois, I might add, when I noticed in my rearview mirror that a red car was coming up behind me. I thought to myself, “Let’s make this car a Chevy.” So I kept driving, and I glanced in my rearview mirror again when it got closer to see what it was. It was a Chevy! “Okay, cool!” I thought to myself. “Now, let’s make this one an Equinox.” The car certainly had the build for it. Eventually, the car got into the fast lane, ready to pass me, and was in my blind spot, so I couldn’t see. I just waited until the car came in front.
The car was dark red, a Chevy Equinox, and it had Indiana license plates on it! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I could not believe what I was seeing! I laughed, cried, and smiled from ear to ear, all at the same time. I was so overwhelmed with emotion. What were the chances of me seeing my dream car, with the license plates of where I want to live, and while still driving in the state of Illinois?! I stopped questioning it and just let it go. I took that moment as a sign from God and the Universe that The Secret and the law of attraction is the real thing and it can change your life.
This happened in April, and so many things have changed since that car ride. I look forward to sharing more stories of my experiences in the future. I am so thankful and grateful that The Secret was brought into my life. I have even changed my own personal motto. Before, it was “Great things come to those who wait.” Now it is, “Ask, and you shall receive.”
Thank you so very much to everyone, and may The Secret bring you all good things in your life. I know it will for me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
