But one thing I remember for sure, even today, is that the magic of <i>the<\/i> <i>secret<\/i> eluded me.<\/p>\n<p>I was sitting in the classroom like a goat sits in the slaughterhouse waiting for its turn. The entrance test for a college of my choice was turning out to be the worst nightmare of my life.<\/p>\n<p>It was my first entrance test ever and that with 3 different rounds including an interview. I decided to not give up easily no matter what might come. And with this little courage, I faced it successfully. It was difficult to understand it then but I did not even care for any explanations from my life and the Almighty.<\/p>\n<p>Later that day at home, on the success of my exam, my mom got me a very specially gift\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u20ac\u009da book. Yes. It was a special book because it changed my life forever. It was <i>The Secret <\/i>by Rhonda Byrne.<\/p>\n<p>I read <i>The Secret<\/i> every day only to get mesmerized with its real incredible stories. I read about a man who with the power of positive visualization finally got the money he had wanted. I decided to give it a try myself.<\/p>\n<p>I began to visualize myself cheering in joy because of passing the exam. I kept saying to myself that I would clear the exam. And to my utter surprise, I actually passed the exam after a month when the result was finally out. It was an outstanding experience. The success motivated me and I decided to take on other rounds of the exam with the same zest.<\/p>\n<p>I applied the teaching of <i>The Secret <\/i>once again. I visualized. After a month, I had cleared the second round as well. Now, it was the time for the last and the most difficult round\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<i>interview<\/i>. Of course, I applied the teaching of <i>The Secret<\/i> once again but this time with a little twist. I visualized myself as if I had passed the interview with a slight feeling of gratitude.<\/p>\n<p>Results are not out yet. But I know that I will pass easily. As told in the book, the Universe really conspires to help you achieve your goal if you put in genuine efforts. I have started believing in this saying. I am just 18 and with the power of positive visualization, I can see the Universe conspiring to help me achieve my goal.<\/p>\n<p>Go and seek for <i>The Secret<\/i> to explore the power and the greatness of the Universe like I did.<\/p>\n<p>This post is contributed by Aditya kashyap, an ITM-Gwalior Student.<br \/>\nYou can also participate in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.askiitians.com\/forum-point-policy\/my-story-in-my-words-contest.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cMy Story in My Words\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d Contest<\/a>\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 and win Exciting Prizes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2t know exactly which day it was.
