My Own Horse Farm


By JC M.
from Douglassville, PA

Back in 2006 and 2007 I was struggling with my health due to 7 surgeries. I heard about The Secret and bought the book. My husband is not an avid reader, so I bought the DVD for him. After reading the book and making my vision boards, I concentrated on getting healthy and whole, and also concentrated on my horse farm. I took suggestions from The Secret and met with a realtor to share my vision. I had very specific wants/needs and he was terrific: patient and understanding, all the while not knowing I was practicing the Secret.

I am happy to report that 2008 has been a wonderful year! I am whole and healed, pain-free and mobile again!! My husband and I just moved into our new 4 acre horse farm - I finally have my 'boys' in my own backyard!!! Every one of my 'must haves' on my list were realized, and it is all thanks to the Secret. When my sister is asked, "How did JC manage to get a horse farm?", my sister's reply is: "She lives the Secret!!"

About JC M. from Douglassville, PA:

I am almost 49 years old, and have owned horses for 40 years, always boarding them at someone's barn facility. My dream to own my own farm had merely been a 'wish' all of these years.

Wake Up Call


By Kit
from Colorado

I just finished reading the book over the weekend. It was a "wake up call" for me. I've learned everything in the book in the past but had not been following The Secret for several years. It awakened my thought process as I was reading and remembering and practicing again. I instantly felt better about myself as well as my life. I am once again HAPPY and FREE!

I have what I never thought I could - a beautiful body.


By James
from San Diego, California

For as long as I could remember I was always obese. I felt disgusting and sad and hid myself away in layers of clothing.

However, since I read The Secret and watched the film, I began to think thoughts of a wonderful body like the rest of the guys had. I imagined myself as a Brad Pitt type, and even as I went around in daily life imagined muscles rippling below my shirt, and felt like a beautiful person. I had my struggles with doubts, but committed myself. And eventually it became natural.

What happened then was amazing. I set a goal to be fit by summer, and be gorgeous and sexy at the beginning of the school year. It came true! I never imagined it could. I am just as aesthetic on the outside as I always thought I was on the inside. And I know that if I had not read The Secret I would still be 240+ pounds. Thank God for a change of mind!

I feel great and I love everybody and love the clothes I can wear. If you share what I stuggled with, don't give up! What can you lose by feeling good about your body? Trust me, dreams WILL come true. I wish that for You and for everyone.

Freedom From Pain, Freedom From Addiction


By Colleen Murphy
from USA

A good friend of mine has had degenerative back problems for years. The Doctors have had her on highly addictive pain medicines for years, she has always hated this fact. Over time, these particular medicines start losing their strength on you, then you need to take 2 instead of one, then 3, etc. It's a horrific cycle.

She watched The Secret with me, my second viewing, and when it was over, stood up, said, "I'm going, I have something to do." And off she went. Just like that. I thought it was weird, but hey, maybe she needed to digest The Secret, who knows.

She called me a week later and said that that night, after watching The Secret, she went home and tricked her brain. She imagined a little pod in her brain, and in the pod was one of those pain pills. She also visualized taking the pill and tossing it down the toilet! She then told herself, this was the day, and there will be NO withdrawal!!!

She actually accomplished what it was she has been wanting for 3 years... to get rid of this addiction! Before this, she tried everything, and nothing worked, making her feel even worse! This time it worked, and no withdrawal. She said a little bit of sleepiness was all.

I see it in her, a huge difference!!!

This has me so excited!!!

I wanted to share, in case any one else out there is going through something similar.

The world is great!

What I always wanted


By Marta
from Japan

Since I was born I always dreamed about my soul mate, the love of my life. I sought him and I thought that I was gonna find him, and kept living like that for 28 years...

When I find out about the Secret, I started to visualize him the way I wanted, with all the qualities I wanted in a man, as I had attracted so many men that weren't exactly the type of person that would make me happy. I visualized for four months - maybe it took so long because my faith was weak. Then one day, out of nowhere, I looked at this guy, so perfect for me in so many ways, and fell in love. And when he saw me he felt the same way... we soon started to date, and lived together really quickly. And I'm the kind of person who never lived or got engaged or anything serious with anyone, because I always realized they weren't my soul mate.

Believe, it really, really and truthfully works...

About Marta from Japan:

I have my beliefs and I follow them blindly... courage is my way to live

My life now that I found the Secret


By Raymon M. Johnson
from Greenwood, MS

I was told that I have mental disorder. I was kicked out of my mom's house three times, plus I was abused by my father from the age 10 to 17. I was told about Life Help Mental Help Center & moved to Greenwood at the age of 20. I was in a lot of pain in and out. I was in and out with girlfriends too. My life did not turn for the better until I was using the Secret.

The next thing I know I got me a place to stay. Then I found a job (a member and a worker at the Friendship Clubhouse). Then I found love this year. She means everything to me. I also meet my goal daily now. I feel good all the time now. I owe it to five things - God, family, friends, my best friend/girl Derlene, and the Secret)

Love, Raymon Matthew Johnson Jr. 3rd

About Raymon M. Johnson from Greenwood, MS:

I was told that I was not to live to see 21, because I had seizures and they were real bad too. Now I just turned 27 years old. I was using the Secret & did not know it.

I just kept an end in mind


By Jacqueline
from Sunny, Florida

I just found The Secret a few weeks ago, and didn't realize that I had it within me all along. I was a student sitting in a lab pouring samples, and longing to get out of there. I wanted to be a dentist, and that day I was thinking about how much I wanted to just pack my things and go. I thought how good it would feel to wave good bye, and I even showed my co-workers how I would do it. I got a phone call at work from the school a few hours later, and I put in a 2 day notice. I got accepted into dental school! I waved them good bye just like I pictured it.

I had 2 days to get there with no thought on where I would get the money or where I would live, I just felt the nervous excitement inside me. I had a yard sale the next morning, and sold everything I needed to leave. I even got robbed $100 from someone at the yard sale, but that didn't bother me - I was high I life.

I'm now a mom when the doctors said it would be hard for me to conceive, and I am a dentist. To the young women out there who feel like a victim of something, turn it around, stand up for yourself. You can go to college and be a mom.

The Lottery


By Corky Goldberg-Schmautz
from Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada

I have been playing the lottery for quite a few years and have only won a few times a few dollars here and there.

I happened to be watching the Oprah show and caught the tail end of something that I really didn't understand. Oprah and her guests were talking about The Secret and the A New Earth book at the same time. I was a little confused, because when you watch a show like Oprah's, you need to see the beginning of the show.

After the show aired, I went in search of Eckhart Tolle's book, "A New Earth", but this was not quite the book that I was to pick up, but I did get it anyways.

The next day, I made a trip to one of our malls here and saw The Secret! I went in and purchased it with some of the bonus points that I had. I took the book home, thinking that I would just read it and that would be it. I must have read the book 5 times over and over again and marked it with post-it notes everywhere.

I did not believe what the book said and decided to try it. I wished that I would win the lottery in small amounts. To my surprise, I won 3 times in a row! That has never happened to me in all the years I have been playing. I then became a believer.

The next thing that I want to do is build a studio and teach those around me how to create. That is my next big dream.

Dreams do come true


By Rachael
from Indiana

When I was in third grade I told my mother that I wanted to go to the University of Notre Dame. I remember going to meetings about what it took to get in at age 13 - that's how bad I wanted it. I knew everything it took and used this knowledge to my advantage. Notre Dame will not accept someone merely because they got a good score on the SAT, it takes so much more. I told everyone I talked to, new friends and old friends, that I would be attending the University of Notre Dame. The response was almost ALWAYS THE SAME: "Wow, isn't that school hard to get into? Don't you have to be really smart?" They would wish me good luck in a "you really need it" tone. I never let this sway me.

Before every football game, Notre Dame would play a commercial showing a girl taking "the letter" out of her mailbox. I CRIED EVERY TIME (because I could FEEL - with so much intensity - how I would feel when I came to that day).

When it came time to apply I was more stressed out than I had ever been in my life, but I still continued to tell people that I would be going there. Sometimes a thought would creep into my head saying, "What if I've been telling everyone that I'm going there and then I don't get in?" Every time I'd stop and say, "NO, I will not let myself think these thoughts." And I would continue to imagine and to feel the feelings of coming home and seeing the letter sitting on the table.

On March 28, 2008 I got a call from my step-father telling me that I had to come home, "RIGHT NOW". When I got home, I saw it and felt every feeling that I had felt previously in my mind - only magnified. The letter said "Welcome Home".

I have never wanted anything more in my entire life. I have never KNOWN something more intensely. I KNEW that Notre Dame was the place for me, was my home (I guess God, The Universe, knew too.)

About Rachael from Indiana:

I am an 18 year old 21st century hippie, and I am a freshman at the University of Notre Dame (Class of 2012).

Manifested Helicopters and Tropical Islands


By Amy Jo Ellis
from Culebra, Puerto Rico

I used to live on a ranch in California. Once a month or so my girlfriend would come out to visit us, and we would end up soaking in a Jacuzzi till 3 in the morning laughing, dreaming, and brain storming. One thing that we would do was a guided meditation. I am a story teller by nature, so I would regale stories of us being out in the wilderness somewhere when a helicopter would land, the pilot would introduce himself to us, and invite us to ride along with him on some great adventure. Usually we would fly to the local airport where we would board his private jet and fly off to some exotic tropical location.

Then one day in real life, my husband and I were out on our porch when a helicopter flew down and landed on our lawn. The pilot got out and introduced himself as Larry, and said that he was a stunt pilot who flew in our area and liked to practice landing on the big rocks on our ranch. He wanted us to know who he was and what he was doing. Then he invited us up for a ride. After that he dropped by the ranch and would invite us up frequently! Now I don’t care how skeptical a person is. That is a BIG coincidence.

Here it is a few years later, and I’m now living on the tiny island of Culebra. I was invited to Puerto Rico to sing at a hotel for six weeks. For the duration of the stay I rented an apartment for $400.00 a month, utilities included! I fell in love with Puerto Rico and decided never to go back. Would you look at that, an exotic tropical location!

This stuff really works. And I didn’t even know what I was doing!

When I watched The Secret I realized... WOW!!! That is what I did!

It came true in less than a week!


By Nichole D.
from Weatherford, OK

I finished reading The Secret in three days, and immediately from the first day began to apply the practices. For the past four years I have dreamed of getting custody of my son so that I would have him during the school year. Even while reading the book I began to focus all of my thoughts and energy on how happy and grateful I am that Dominic attends first grade while living with me. I visualized his first day over and over again at night, until I had every detail embedded into my memory! I began to feel happier each time I thought about it!

Then just four days later, as my husband is flying back from California with him for his usual summer visit, I get a phone call saying that his father isn't sure about his situation, and to let Dominic try first grade here with me! Incredible! I took the lessons I had learned about positive thoughts, visualization, and acting on instincts, and now my son will be attending first grade here with me! We have two younger children, my husband and I, and it's been our goal and our dream that Dominic would be able to come home and complete the family unit! And now that is happening!

In addition, as a stay at home mom I see the stress my husband feels from providing so much for us. So I also began to think, visualize, and act in accordance to receiving unexpected income and checks. This afternoon I got a phone call from a fellow Mary Kay consultant needing product...t en minutes later I decided to follow my instinct to call a friend and let her know I was backing out of my business and would be returning my inventory. She quickly placed an order as well! Just like that I made $60! May not seem like a lot to some people, but with three young children (one of whom is due to be born in August!), every bit is a lot!

I know that I will continue to receive all that I ask for and all that is wonderful! So many things are already unfolding for me that I am just wondering as to why I didn't read this book sooner!

The Secret works! The Secret is real! The Secret is in all of us!

Money and more money!


By Cesar I. Bonifacio Jr.
from Manila, Philippines

I have sent a testimony before about my instant jeepney and bus ride. At the end of my testimony, I mentioned my goal of making 100,000 pesos that year. Thanks to the Almighty Universe I manifested that amount before the year ended!

I had a prosperous Christmas because we had lots of money. We had a shopping spree almost every week. Our refrigerator is always full, including our cupboards and shelves. However, I had an episode in 2007 that I disconnected with the Universe by forgetting the most important part of the Secret, which is The Law of Gratitude. Good things came and I forgot to thank the Supreme Universe. One by one the good things began to fall off. Then my focus turned to negative things like fear of losing money, and that I'm not earning enough. I began to think that what I have is not enough and that I will lose it someday. And it happened. All business opportunities diminished. All bad things came. But thank God! He is always there to remind me.

One day I picked up my copy of The Science of Getting Rich (that I got from this site) and began to read it again. I realized that I lost my connection with the Universal Mind.

Before 2007 ended I closed a transaction amounting 30,000. I doubled my 13th month pay by investing it. I received an order amounting to 9000. It was a good year! I also got promoted! My boss gave me 10,000. I received a total of 32,000 in incentives! In short, I created another 100,000 unexpected income in 2007. This 2008, sales of my products are also very good and I'm expecting a 100,000 peso monthly income! I'll update all of you!

About Cesar I. Bonifacio Jr. from Manila, Philippines:

I really love The Secret! It changed my life, my family, my attitude, and my everything!

My body transformation


By Gaby E
from Caracas, Venezuela

In high school I was the fattest girl in my grade. My weight was around 178lbs, I was a size 12. I was always complaining about how ugly I was and how fat I was. Boys didn't like me very much, and with all the bad energy I carried with me I was a very unhappy person. I didn't go out that much, I stayed home eating or watching movies, feeling bad about myself because I was fat and all my friends were skinny and pretty. I wanted to be like them, but I saw it as IMPOSSIBLE. I always dieted but then I gained it all back. I had a really bad attitude in life.

One of those weekend nights, I found in my dad's room the book of The Secret. I began to read it and found it really interesting. One of my favorite quotes of this book is, "Whatever is going on in your mind is what you're attracting". Then I came into the part of "the Secret and your body" and I started to believe. I started visualizing myself as a hot girl, with a really good body. I knew the universe was going to give it to me, someday. Instead of thinking all the bad things I had, I only thought of all the things I WANTED to do when I became beautiful and skinny. I didn't want to compete with my friends, I just wanted to be different and look like a movie star.
I kept these skinny and these positive thoughts in my mind for almost 3 months.

One day I saw myself in the mirror, and I had become the person I wanted to be. My weight was 125 lbs. And I had on my sisters jeans that were size 2. My hair was long and pretty, my teeth were white, my skin was tan, my muscles were toned, my nails were done.

I've been thinking on the positive thoughts all along since that day I began to read The Secret. People stop in the streets and tell me I am beautiful. Yesterday I was asked to make a commercial on a shampoo. I'm going to be in TV next month. I can't be any happier.

The solution of every problem in my life is now in my hands. It's all a matter of what is in your mind. If you think positive, your life will be as you want it.

The Secret not only changed my body, but my mind and life.
