The Secret! x

"Do not expect others to behave in a way, so you will be happy. Release yourself forevermore & know that you alone control your happiness and it is a choice no matter what anyone else is doing!"

I went on a trip to Turkey a couple of years ago and poured my heart out to one of my friends about how I hadn't found happiness and felt like I was on a constant treadmill of never achieving all the time. She asked me had I ever heard of the book called "The Secret". I hadn't and for a while I thought it was a Catherine Cookson novel. I found "The Secret" after a long search in a book shop with my niece in Heswall, it was unfortunate that she had just hit her head on bookshelf and was screaming the place down when the sales assistant handed me my very first copy - I have since given away two of my own. It had been in the back of my mind for at least six months whether I should indulge in this book of wisdom - I kept thinking can this be true, can a book really deliver a better life. I doubted it and kept myself in a state of denial and paralysed to move forward. On reading "The Secret" my life changed to be stronger, more focused and defiantly more positive. My friends started to read the book of the back of my positivity and the shift in my behaviour. I now have the dvd, my best friend bought it for me for my birthday, you see you have to share "The Secret" and it will always come back to you.

My friends are now either big fans of "The Secret" or without knowing have the power of the secret manifested in their behaviour already - I take my hat of to them, they know who they are. My friend Mika, who lead me to "The Secret" meet her now husband when she was feeling a bit homesick in Shanghai, she went to a film opening and met her soul mate at the premier - he woowed her, writing her love letters from England and now she is the proud mother of their first child. She married a superstar and she herself is brilliant, she has been my inspiration since reading "The Secret" - not because she married a famous person but because she mastered the secret, she made it work for her. I have made the secret work for me to an extent that I have the home and the job I have always wanted but I still want my soul mate so I have some way to go yet and need to learn that I deserve a man who loves me for who I am. I first need to love myself and make myself happy as the quote says at the beginning of this blog. So I have put my favourite cheeky photo of me at the very top, because this year I have started to love me and that is one massive achievement. If you can write "I love me" on a bit of paper never mind a blog then you deserve to be loved. I hope you find "The Secret" - I hope you love yourself because any other energy is a wasted one. Look within and take control - choose to be happy. I apologise if I have sounded like a book sales rep but it is good, try it.

Thanks for tuning in
