I would like to start by thanking Rhonda Byrne, the Universe, and, ultimately, God. My brother shared The Secret video with me about four years ago, and I would keep the message in my mind but eventually let it go. I guess we all remember what we should really do when we run into bad situations.

I broke my right humerus bone on Good Friday, which falls during Easter week. I remember waking up mad, and I was angry throughout the day. However, I went to see a friend, and on my drive back home, I saw my now ex-boyfriend’s dog knotted around a post in his yard. I stopped and tried to let her follow me so she could untie herself around it, and I slipped on a piece of board that was covering a hole in a well!
My hand snapped against the post, and I broke my right humerus. Half of my body fell into the well, but I managed to get out. I was devastated.

The doctor recommended that I stay at home and rest. I had to miss classes and reschedule my exams. During the time I stayed at home, I cried throughout the day. I fell into a deep depression and started fearing that I would lose my boyfriend. I knew I was losing him because all I did was cry when he would visit me every day. He did try to make me happy, but I just gave him negative feedback. We decided that it was not working out and we ended our one year relationship. We broke up during my exam week, and I barely studied, ate, or slept. I failed one exam and was not able to graduate with my friends. Everything that could have gone wrong did go wrong.
It was time for me to change for myself.

Then, I remembered The Secret video and watched it again. I started reading The Magic and doing the daily practices. I prayed a lot, too. Thank God I still had family and friends who stood by me and supported me. There were times I felt like a burden to them because I needed help with simple things like tying my hair since I could not use my right hand at all. I am right handed.

I stayed at home for three months with my broken arm. I started changing in the second month, and it made a big difference in my life. It was a bit difficult to stay in a positive mood, but I tried and believed that I would be healed and that everything would fall into place. I visualized and meditated every day. I watched plenty of self-help videos, including The Secret, whenever I felt like giving up. I read The Secret Daily Teachings and the bible, too. I think believing was the most important thing for me.

Patience was indeed a virtue. We all want what we want as quickly as possible, but if it were that way all the time, we would not enjoy it or appreciate it as much as when we do get it later.

Today, my cast was removed, and I am getting my diploma soon because they made me re-sit the exam. I visualized being without my cast and felt as though I did not have it. I thanked God every day for my healing and tried to keep happy by visiting friends and listening to music. As for my “once” boyfriend, we always kept in touch. He still visits me, and I think we are getting back together soon. I guess God is saving the best for last. I really do love him. The Secret helped me immensely, and it really does work! I will keep having faith in my God and keep practicing The Secret. I know I will be writing here one day soon again.

Thank you so much to everyone who shared their stories! I read them every night, and I will continue reading them because they always inspire me to keep on going.
Thank you!
