From Poverty And Abuse

To Fame And Fortune.

This is hard for me to think about as I try and think only about good things now,
but I want you all to know how powerful and real The Secret is, so it can
transform your life too.

I grew up in poverty and was so abused by my family that I was placed in foster
care. I was beaten, sexually abused, verbally abused, malnourished and
neglected.

As an adult, the shame and abuse had taken its toll on me. I believed what the
abusers had told me, that I was worthless, disgusting, anything and everything
bad that you could think of.

I began to have repeated experiences of abuse with people I would meet in my

life. My life was horrible. I would get fired from every stupid job I could find.
People were mean to me, I didn’t know why. I was very quiet and shy. It would
happen over and over again. I had no money and worked three menial jobs, just
trying to survive. In my heart, I dreamed of a good life though. I wanted to have a
nice life, to be able to afford nice things, but as I was living in poverty, I had no
idea how that would happen. Then I came across The Secret and I began to see
how things could change. I realized I was attracting into my life all the abusive
people and bad work experiences because that was the feeling I was carrying in
my heart. I learned that what you feel inside is what comes back to you.

So I had to start to learn to feel good about myself, to let go of the anger I carried
for my family that abused me, for the people that hurt me. I had to let that all go.
It did not happen overnight, but I kept it up, I just keep trying and I started to see
results. My life became better and better the more I filled my heart with love.
Eventually I was able to get a dog and she filled my heart with so much love that
was never there before. More and more wondrous things began to happen. In
time, I was living a life I could hardly believe. I had a brand new convertible car I
had always dreamed of and beautiful possessions. I met a man who loved me and
treated me so kindly, never abusing me like all the others.

I kept practicing The Secret and my life became more than I can even believe.
After my life started to get better and I was working at a good job making a nice
salary, I asked myself, what would I do if I could do anything I wanted? I thought,
I’d be an actor. So I decided to start acting and began taking classes at night.
Since then I have acted in movies with Oscar winning actors and have been on
billboards worldwide. I live in a multi million dollar home and I am married to
the wonderful man I met 10 years ago. I cannot believe my life and it is all
because of God’s goodness and The Secret that God brought into my life. I was in
car accident recently and was badly hurt. It took months of rehab. The doctors
told me I would be permanently disabled. I dug down deep and remembered all
my past years of using The Secret. I decided I would get better, without pain
killers or surgery. I began mediating, visualizing myself as healthy and healed. I
decided I wouldn’t believe what the doctors told me. I watched The Secret movie
again and again to inspire me. I thought about the man who crashed in the plane
and how he walked again. I thought I can do it, if he can. Now I am healthy and
healed naturally. Not for one second would I let myself believe what the doctors
told me. I just decided not to. There were horrible times for me but overall the
feeling in my heart was that I would not give in, I would not give up. The Secret
saved my life again.

I practice The Secret on a daily basis now. I see now that is something that you do
for life. We are all human and it is easy to get down and out about things that
happen in life.

I think it takes a lot of work to discover and work on all the parts of yourself that
might be resisting good things in your life. I know I didn’t feel deserving for so
long. I also couldn’t believe good things could happen to me. Even as they would
happen, I’d go back to being pessimistic and thinking “Oh that was just a
coincidence, it’ll never happen again.” But that’s not true. It takes a lot of work,
prayer and inner strength to develop faith, but if you keep going and believing in
The Secret, your life will get better and better. I think it is important to
remember, at least for me, that things take time. You just have to remember to
keep going and don’t give up.

Recently I really started to learn the power of gratitude and I am seeing the
miracles that are taking place because of it. I now am focused on just being
grateful, even when things go wrong. I have started to listen to Rhonda’s “The
Power” on my audio books and she inspires me daily.

Thank you so much!
