"Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned."
(Buddha)

"If you take any activity, any art, any discipline, any skill - take it and push it as far as it will go, push it beyond where it has ever been before, push it to the wildest edges of edges, then you force it into the realm of magic."

- Tom Robbins

The times in our lives in which we feel that we have the least power are actually the times when we have the most. Those are the times in which we affirm or redefine who we are, what we believe, and make choices that can impact ourselves and those we encounter for a lifetime- (Gail Pursell Elliott)

I have always wanted to write a story and now that I realize all the wonderful things that happens in my life I can, and this story will be the first one to come. I first came to hear about The Secret at the age of 14 by an online friend who I am truly thankful for meeting. If not for him then I would not have known about this wonderful thing.

I have always been a positive person and try to live life with great intentions.

At the age of 16 my mom had lost the house due to her choices and circumstances, so I had to live with my dad. I fell into a bit of a depression for I had to drop out of school and was not able to go back because my father didn't support me going to school to get my high school degree. In his eyes you didn't need education for a good paying job. Long story short, I had no real social life but online, no job, and no schooling, so I got tired of living life day by day doing nothing.

That is when I remember the power of The Secret. 

I started to apply the manifesting process and 2 years later I had my own income and was going to school. Now I have my full grade 12, living back with my mom in an amazing house that we both manifested and I currently have a job I love, which I have had for over a year now.

I always wanted to keep pushing the limits of The Secret and my belief in it. so I applied the same practices to seeing Cody Simpson, because he lives across the world from me. Well, last week when I was working it was a very slow day because I work at a movie theater and during the day it is a bit slow. Anyways to get back on track, I got back from break to work in the box office and who do I see in line to buy a movie ticket?

It was Cody simpson and his family! I was able to meet him, his mother, sister and brothers, as well as Ryan Beatty. It was really neat because it came when I least expected it. 

Once you really start feeling gratitude, your life shifts and you are automatically more happy. When you are happy, that is when success truly happens!

What really matters in a pencil is not its wooden exterior, but the graphite inside. So always pay attention to what is happening inside you.- Paulo Coelho

Few quotes by Sidney Sheldon - a) Life is like a novel. It's filled with suspense. You have no idea what is going to happend until you turn the page. b) "You have two choices. You can keep running and hiding and blaming the world for your problems, or you can stand up for yourself and decide to be somebody important."-

The Seven Spiritual Laws by Deepak Chopra 1) Everything is possible. We all have the gift of creating absolutely anything. There’s no limit to what we can do or be. 2) If you want to get something, give it. Always give with a happy heart. The greatest gift is feeling good. 3) When you make a choice, you change the future (karma). Your choices bring about changes. To make good choices, follow your heart. How do your choices make you feel? 4) Don’t say no —go with the flow. Create peace within by learning acceptance of what is outside our control. 5) Every time you wish or want, you plant a seed. Making your wish is like planting a seed and believing that it will grow. Let nature do the rest. 6) Be open to life and enjoy the journey. New ways and new ideas can lead to more happiness. 7) You are here for a reason. Your dharma is your purpose, path, or vision, the unique talent that you are here on Earth to share. Your dharma is your happiness
