Hello,

My name is Glenson. I am 25 years old, and I have a family. I work to support them and try very hard to keep us together. Life wasn’t easy for me, and I always felt depressed or angry about myself. But before I began to tell about my short story, I was the type of guy who never believed in God or anything, not even my own traditional ways as a Native American. But The Secret changed my way of thinking about hope.

Two years ago, my father passed away. I did not have a good relationship with him, like a father-and-son thing. Let’s just say that I did not like his drinking. I was very sad because the last thing I said to him was to leave me alone. I could not stop thinking about it and I wished I could say I was sorry to him. I was with my girlfriend, and she tried to comfort me. But all I could feel was anger, and I took it out on her. Later, she left me.

I was completely alone in my father’s home. All his stuff was gone. It is our tradition that we cannot keep their belongings when someone dies. I just had my TV my father gave me, my bed, and my clothes.

A month later, I went back to school at the university. I still felt sad about losing my girlfriend. She was all I thought about. We did text from time to time.

Then, one day, she said that she was with someone else. I was very heartbroken, and I did not want to believe it. She told me it was over between us and that I should move on. I was going crazy and started to think there was nothing for me to live for anymore. That was until I remembered something. I saw a video called The Secret when I was in high school. I went to the library and checked out the book. I read it nonstop, page after page, and stayed up all night. I wasn’t sure if everything was true about my thoughts and feelings going out to the Universe, and receiving back what I was putting out, but I gave it a try. I wanted her back because I loved her, and I did not want to be alone anymore.

Two months later, my girlfriend told me we were going to have a baby. I was very happy, and I cried with joy. Late at night, I went outside to look up at the stars. I was smiling and thanked the Universe for this blessing. After I read the book, I changed my way of thinking from negative to positive. I did everything possible to make myself happy and bring laughter into my life. Everything changed in 2 weeks. My girlfriend told me she loved me, too, and we got back together. All I wanted was to have my own family, and I asked the Universe to bring it into my life. I visualized it every day and put my full belief in it. And it worked! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Today, we do have our ups and downs, but I’m not giving up. I’m working on getting our own place. It was stressful along the way, but deep down, I felt something I thought was gone, hope. The only person in my life who brings me hope is my beautiful daughter, Olivia. I asked the Universe to bring me hope into my life, and I received an angel from God.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
