In 2006, after completing my 10th grade, I entered Junior college, which initially felt like a stressful and confining environment. Just a few months after joining, in August, I had to undergo an Appendicitis operation, causing me to miss almost a month of college. When I returned, the pressure and stress of college, particularly the time-based multiple-choice questions, became overwhelming. Despite being academically capable, the emphasis on entrance tests and the difficulty with the time-based questions took a toll on me. Without even realizing it, I began to wish for an escape from the situation I was in.

Soon after, I started experiencing joint pain, fatigue, and swelling, which led to a diagnosis of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, or SLE, a condition that affects multiple organs and the body’s immune system. Despite the physical and emotional challenges, I remained positive and determined to overcome this adversity.

During this time, I stumbled upon “The Secret,” a book that resonated with me and offered a new perspective. I started applying the principles from the book to various aspects of my life, including my academic pursuits. Although I excelled in my studies and secured a spot in a good college for mechanical engineering, I still struggled with my health and felt isolated from the typical experiences of a young adult due to my condition.

As I approached the final year of college and the prospect of entering the workforce, I found myself feeling increasingly despondent. However, with the support of friends who also believed in “The Secret,” I began to visualize and manifest my aspirations. We started by envisioning a future where I was healthy and thriving, engaging in activities that brought me joy and fulfillment. I imagined it often and it felt as if it was really happening. I felt extremely grateful and very fortunate.

Then, a turning point came when one of my friends came across a book about the Lupus recovery diet. Despite the cost, my mother selflessly provided the funds for me to acquire the book. As I followed the guidance in the book, my health began to improve significantly. My energy returned, my skin cleared up, and I felt rejuvenated. I felt really good! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

When the time for job interviews arrived, I exuded confidence and vitality. To my surprise and delight, I was the only student from my college to be selected for a position at Cummins, a renowned diesel engine manufacturing company, where I now work in the research sector. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Today, I am living a life that once seemed like an unattainable dream. I continue to use the principles of “The Secret” to guide my ambitions and navigate new opportunities. I am grateful for the support of my friends and my family, and I look forward to the future, knowing that I have the power to chart my own course and pursue my dreams with unwavering determination.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Thank you so very much to The Secret.
