First, I just want to say thank you to Rhonda and The Secret team for changing my life. So many great things have happened since I read the books and watched the movie.

I work as an apprentice shop assistant and I’m almost finished with my apprenticeship. A few weeks ago, there was a contest at my school where we had to design a shop window with the theme “SALE – in another way!” The best design from each school would be chosen to create the actual shop window display.

I decided to participate for fun and chose to paint something about aliens, inspired by a song from my favorite band. I didn’t really expect to win.

Every day when I went to work, I would think about how to create the window display and what materials to use. But eventually, I forgot about it and thought, “Well, it doesn’t matter if I win or not. I can’t change anything now.”

A few weeks later, I found out that I had won! I couldn’t believe it! That’s when I realized the power of visualization and its relationship to The Secret.

I finished dressing the window just three days ago. I put a lot of effort into it, even building a UFO with LED lights for decoration. I hoped to win, but I was also grateful just to have the opportunity to create it. Representatives from the Austrian Federal Economic Chambers came to see my window yesterday.

Today, they told me that I won the second prize! It’s amazing! I even got a trophy for it! I’ve never won a prize for anything before. It may only be second place and not first, but I did it just for fun. I think that’s amazing!

I’m very happy about it. I aspire to become a professional stage designer because I love being creative and I believe I’m good at it. I am confident that I will achieve this goal.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Thank you to The Secret team, for giving me the faith and hope that I can reach every single one of my goals and dreams!
