Answer: The term nonfiction refers to works of writing that deal with true facts. On the other hand, fiction is a product of the author's imagination. While nonfiction works can be categorized as fitness, economics, home decoration, etc., fiction includes plenty of genres like romance, science fiction, thriller, etc.

Inspired by The Secret, I decided that everything that I wasn’t happy with in my life was going to be replaced with a new beginning. I was tired of a dead marriage and relationships that kept me small and zapped my energy, basically a life that wasn’t fulfilling. I came across The Secret and watched the video and my inner me started to shift. I felt a fire starting to burn, a push forward, ideas sprouted, I became more creative and I started to take action and everything started to make sense, everything was on purpose, nothing was forced or a struggle. I would make a decision, write it down, visualize it and it appeared, just like that. My first reaction was to really start believing it was me doing it, so now I wanted everything to change. I had the opportunity when my daughter had to choose a University to study English Philology in. She chose Malaga, a town we knew from summer holiday visits. It was a place near the sea, that I had always dreamed about,  a tourist area where English classes were in demand. I literally got out my pen and paper and wrote down: I will find a nice apartment to live in. A good school for my younger son to study in and find work for my middle teenage daughter. Plenty of work from private English classes will appear, I will earn money to provide for all costs and to be able to save. It will come easily and effortlessly. So the challenge was on! I packed everything and a week before took a trip down to Malaga to set everything up. I had a week before school started so it was “yes or yes” to happen. Arriving there, I felt excited and trusted my morning and evening goals and visualization exercises and took action. First I made publicity and handed out my cards and posted them in the library, shops, all the local places and spread the word about my English classes. I found a sign on a board for an apartment to rent for less than the money I had budgeted for. I phoned the number, saw the flat and accepted, it was mine! Then through word of mouth, I found a lovely school for my son nearby and registered him. Although I had not been to the town hall to register yet, they let me. Education first, the head mistress said, you can go to the town hall after. This all happened in three days, I just stuck to my clear goals and took action upon an undeniable faith! The main feeling I had was that it was on purpose, I was attracting and it felt wonderful! We are happy!
