My Secret Journey,<\/p>\n

One night, I was at home and decided to watch Netflix. That was when I stumbled upon The Secret<\/a>. I remember someone telling me to watch it on DVD a while back, but I never did and forgot about it. However, now that I’ve finally watched it, I feel like my life has taken on a whole new meaning, even though I already thought it was pretty good for the most part. After watching the show, I took many notes and went through many tissues. Now, I feel the need to share my journey.<\/p>\n

I initially skimmed through The Secret<\/a> book to see what it was about. Then, I reread the book, took notes, and made highlights. I think the whole book is highlighted with many sticky notes! Then, I cried some more. For some reason, I have been having a lot of mini cries, but they are actually happy tears.<\/p>\n

I have been writing on my bathroom mirror for a while now. I think it’s a good habit because it’s the first thing I see in the morning and the last thing I see at night. I don’t mind if other people see it, and honestly, no one who has seen it has ever said anything about it. I find that writing on the mirror helps me remember and internalize all the positive advice I come across.<\/p>\n

I have made a few changes since reading “The Secret” and moving on to The Magic<\/a> book, but what remains is Albert Einstein\u2019s quote and the saying; \u201cLife is truly phenomenal.\u201d Right below it, I have written, “YES IT IS!” I also have “BELIEVE” in caps on there too. All these things truly make me think that my life is a blessing and very magical as long as I believe.<\/p>\n

I have started a vision board that includes images of my dream home and places I want to revisit, along with the Wellendorf ring I hope to purchase one day. I’ve also added pictures of myself on an excavator and in my Ford Escape. I included these because I’ve realized that things really do work out in your favor. For instance, I’ve always wanted an SUV, and now I have one. I also became interested in operating heavy equipment and ended up taking an excavator course in Winfield, BC within a year. I asked for these things, and I received them. Thank you, thank you, thank you!<\/p>\n

So, really, I was asking and believing in things before; I just never realized that I could achieve them. They are now on my board as a reminder that good things do come to you in time and when you ask.<\/p>\n

I have printed the Optimist Creed, which I read every morning. I start off by saying, “Today I Promise Myself,” and then express gratitude. This routine makes me feel good. I have also printed off The Secret Cheque. Initially, I had written an amount on it, but after some consideration, I realized it wasn’t what I truly wanted. So, I printed a new cheque with a different amount that I’m happy with. Every morning, after reading my promise to myself, I take the cheque, frame it, hold it to my heart, and look at my vision board. This routine sets a positive tone for the day!<\/p>\n

Throughout my life, I have volunteered for different organizations and always wanted to teach people to read and write. After reading The Secret, I finally said to myself that now is the time to start doing it and not just say it. I have not volunteered in a few years and missed it horribly. I signed up for two nonprofit organizations and was accepted into a program for literacy. Man, oh man, it feels good to say that. Sometimes, you have to do a little work to find something you really enjoy.<\/p>\n

I have also come to the conclusion that when it comes to getting to and from work, I was always driving like a mad man and not very cautious. Well, now my main concern for getting to work is this: \u201cAs long as I make it safely and pay attention to my surroundings, all will be okay.\u201d I have also not received a speeding ticket or photo radar since changing my views on how to get to work. Life is not always fun driving in the fast lane.<\/p>\n

The big thing for me in this book was changing your thoughts! And I can tell you that this is where I struggle the most. Now I know what I want out of life, and I know each step in my process will come in time. That is why I have chosen to work on one area at a time or one dream at a time. It’s what works best for me, and I am the only one who knows what I really want. And baby steps are always reasonable steps.<\/p>\n

I often found my mind racing in 50 different directions, usually not in a good way or with positive thoughts. Now, I carry a Magic Rock with me or wear it around my neck. I actually found it on the beach in Victoria, BC, only to later find out it was a shell. I’ve always wondered if it mattered whether it was a rock or not, but I think whatever you carry, if it gives you good vibes, go with it. I really like my newfound friend. When I’m wearing it, I find myself holding it and thinking really lovely and positive thoughts.<\/p>\n

Much has changed since I started reading both books. I have received gifts and cheques in the mail and was accepted for the literacy program. I even think I have helped my roommate stay grounded on some of his life decisions. Not that he would ever agree with that, but so be it.<\/p>\n

So thank you to the Universe for bringing good things to me and to The Secret for sharing your wisdom. I have since started doing The Magic practices and can tell you that I am on day 5. It has been a wonderful journey. I will share more once I am finished with the 28 days of The Magic practices journey.<\/p>\n

So again, thank you, thank you, thank you!<\/p>\n
