A Secret Scrolls message from Rhonda Byrne
Creator of The Secret

How can you make a big dream come true?

You need to have one secret element, and when you have that secret element, nothing will get in your way. That element is an intense desire! You must desire something with all of your heart to manifest it. Often the difference between those who manifest something and those who do not, is the element of desire. When you have a burning desire for something you ignite a fire within you that attracts with an incredible force. The law of attraction is magnetically drawn to that intense fire element in you, and it responds by gathering all universal forces to make your dream come true.

Very often we ask for things because we think our life will be better with those things, but inside of us we do not have an immense desire for those things. When you don't feel that immense desire within you, you are receiving guidance telling you that this is not something you really want. That is why it is so important to get clear on what it is that you really want with all of your heart, because what you really want with all of your heart is the very desire that you can manifest quickly.

When your heart is on fire with desire you will attract the right things to do, you will find visualizing so easy, and you will find it is effortless to think positive thoughts of your desire. You will attract all the qualities you need, such as strength, courage, belief, persistence, faith, and a powerful will. An intense desire lights up your being, producing a magnetic force that enables the law of attraction to cut through every physical obstacle for you and make your dream come true.

Go for your dreams! Don't cheat yourself in your life with petty desires because you don't think you can live your dream. THE DREAM inside you is the one thing that you have the greatest power to create, because you have an immense desire for it. Find the dream inside you - and make it come true!

Here is the story of an 18-year-old girl - her dream - and her intense desire to make her dream come true.

From Rachael in Indiana

When I was in third grade I told my mother that I wanted to go to the University of Notre Dame. I remember going to meetings at age 13 about what it took to get in - that's how bad I wanted it. I knew everything it took and used this knowledge to my advantage. Notre Dame will not accept someone merely because they get a good score on the SAT, it takes so much more.

I told everyone I talked to, new friends and old friends, that I would be attending the University of Notre Dame. The response was almost ALWAYS THE SAME: "Wow, isn't that school hard to get into? Don't you have to be really smart?" They would wish me good luck in a "you really need it" tone. I never let this sway me.

Before every football game, Notre Dame would play a commercial showing a girl taking "the letter" out of her mailbox. I CRIED EVERY TIME (because I could FEEL - with so much intensity - how I would feel when I came to that day).

When it came time to apply I was more stressed out than I had ever been in my life, but I still continued to tell people that I would be going there. Sometimes a thought would creep into my head saying, "What if I've been telling everyone that I'm going there and then I don't get in?" Every time I'd stop and say, "NO, I will not let myself think these thoughts." And I would continue to imagine and to feel the feelings of coming home and seeing the letter sitting on the table.

On March 28, 2008, I got a call from my step-father telling me that I had to come home, "RIGHT NOW". When I got home I saw the letter and felt every feeling that I had felt previously in my mind - only magnified. The letter said, "Welcome Home".

I have never wanted anything more in my entire life. I have never KNOWN something more intensely. I KNEW that Notre Dame was the place for me, was my home (I guess God, The Universe, knew too).

This algorithm makes me crazy. I've tried to find out how is the approximation block of this algorithm, but until this time I still can't find it. And today I must make report for the approximation block of H-matrices algorithm, but I can't do my report without knowing how is it work. So, I'm hiding from my supervisor and move to other lab .

It's been 1 month that I haven't done my report yet. So make me feel shame with him. What would he thinks about me? I'm sorry, Sir... I'll try hard to make my report this week by email. Please forgive me

This is so sadness thing for me. I just lost my weight 5 kg... hiks...hiks...

For children of mixed marriages:

Children automatically take the fathers' citizenship. However, based on the 1984 Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), which has been ratified by Indonesia, the distinction between father and mother to determine children's citizenship should be eliminated.

An Indonesian mother must get special permits issued by related ministries to receive custody of underage children. Once issued, the permits must be picked up at an Indonesian Embassy in another country.

Stay permits for the children of Indonesian mothers are only valid for one year, and the children have to report to the police and administration offices at every level. The children also need a re-entry visa anytime they go abroad.

Children of expatriate fathers can only go to international schools, where the tuition is relatively expensive. And once they finish school, even if they want to stay in the country, they cannot work unless they have a work permit (expensive) from the manpower ministry and company sponsorship (unlikely as that usually requires work experience).

It is not clear whether expatriate mothers can become the guardians for their underage children if the fathers die.

It is not clear whether expatriate mothers married to civil servants are eligible to receive husbands' retirement money for their children's needs if the father dies.

For Indonesian women marrying expatriate men:

The Indonesian wife cannot sponsor her husband or grown up children for visas to stay in the country.

The Indonesian wife cannot bequeath her wealth to her children.

Many Indonesian wives have to leave their jobs and career if the husband loses his job in the country and has to leave.

For expatriate men married to Indonesian women:

Non-Indonesian men cannot become Indonesian citizens without giving up the citizenship of their country of origin.

For those who want to retire in Indonesia, the process is not easy and there are many complex requirements.

For expatriate women married to Indonesian men:

Expatriate women must be sponsored by their husbands to be able to stay in the country, with stay permits having to be renewed every year.

Re-entry visa is needed anytime they go abroad, and must be applied for with their husbands acting as sponsors.

To work in the country, expatriate women must be sponsored by a company.

Expatriate women do not have the right to inherit husband's property. The property must be sold within a year of the death of the husband.
