This is my second story. It feels so good to post on this forum, whether it is my second or my third story, it still feels like I have added another medal to my achievements gallery.

I was in class 11 when I was diagnosed with cancer. For any teenager, this is a very crucial stage. One simply cannot afford situations like this. It is the time to shape our careers.

Like so many typical Indian students, I am an engineering aspirant. Encountering cancer at this juncture in my life shattered my life. But my aspirations were the biggest inspiration that helped me get out of this horrendous situation.

Soon after my recovery, the only thought that occupied my mind was school. The entrance exam system for engineering had changed in India, forcing students to concentrate more on the 12th board exams. I skipped class 11 and applied for admission in class 12. The principal of my school was not ready for this, and he was adamant that I should not skip. However, I used the law of attraction and secured my admission to class 12.

I don’t know whether this has happened to any one of you or not, but things were going so well that I literally forgot about The Secret. Maybe I got busy with my studies or felt that life would continue at the same pace. I completely abstained from the powerful processes of practicing gratitude and using visualization. I was so lost in my world that I didn’t even notice The Power and The Magic. Then things started to change.

As I had skipped class 11, beginning in class 12 was not easy. I lacked the basic concepts from the previous class, and as a result, I had to work harder than other students. Moreover, I had to visit AIIMS for my regular check-ups once every two months. I missed many of the important classes due to this. As a result, fear started creeping into my mind. I had a fear of not doing well in the exams and a fear of failing in my aspirations. Out of fear, I skipped my first exam which was so cowardly of me.

Things were not going well, but then I thought that I could not run away from the situation. You can only solve a problem if you face it. Anyhow, I gave my half-yearly exam, and I secured a score of 61%. I felt dejected. Then, one fine day, what caught my attention was The Secret book. It had always been there on the shelf, but I had never noticed it.

Like a flash of lightning, I recalled everything I learned. I restarted practicing all the powerful processes and using the LOA. The first thing I did was sweep away all the thoughts of fear from my mind, and things started to change. I secured 82% in the first pre-board exam and 88% in the second pre-board exam. I was threatened because I fell short of the attendance requirement, but I knew that I could handle these and even many more complex situations.

Then, I visualized myself as the topper of the school and did everything that I used to do earlier during my recovery from cancer. I created a virtual and ideal ‘me’ and started a kind of telepathy between the real and the virtual. It really helped me a lot.

To be frank, I was not the topper of the school, but I made a handsome 92% score on the board exams. Now, was I feeling low because I did not achieve what I visualized? Of course not! I had made something out of nothing! Now I have really changed my outlook towards life. I appreciate my hard work and am excited to continue with it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Never let any iota of fear spread its roots in your mind. Life is too short to be unhappy, grim, or to be in a state of fear. Try to live. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

May the knowledge of The Secret be with me and you forever.
