Ha! Where do I begin? My life was s complete mess! I was on drugs, I was depressed, I was a self hater who attempted suicide once and contemplated it many other times. My hatred went very deep in that I did not care what I did to myself or what others did to me. I wanted out of life, very badly! I didn’t even know where to go, I had no feelings, no goals, no motivation, no love for myself and especially not for others. I was self centered. Drugs will do that to you. If you told me that the sky was bright and beautiful, I would find a way to think that it is cloudy and about to storm. Even though I was the only one seeing things that way, I knew I was right. You could tell me no different.
Then one day, I was in the library and came upon this book called “The Secret”. What’s the secret, I thought? Everything is a secret these days, I believed. But curiosity got the better of me and I started reading it. I found it to be the most fascinating book I have ever read. Surely, you can’t be, have, or do anything you desired in life. If so, then why didn’t I or anyone that I personally knew, know about this? Why are so many people struggling through life like I was? I was so enthralled, that since it was near closing time, I decided to check the book out. For the full two weeks that I had the book in my possession, I read it and re-read it and cried. I cried because I thought what a total waste of my life, a waste that only I can own! I had to turn things around! This “secret” was going to show me how. After completing the book, I went ahead and ordered the DVD! I was even more mesmerized!
To say my life has done a complete turn around is not enough! Oh my, has it ever turned around! I don’t resemble myself anymore, which is a great thing! My thinking has changed. How I see myself and the world is not the way I used to. I am more loving towards myself and others. I am more caring towards myself and others. I see the glass as half full now, not half empty. My bout with drugs is a thing of the past. I don’t even desire them anymore. I have gotten help and I am doing great! I am now the happy woman that I should be and I welcome it into my life on a daily basis! The old me faded into the darkness and was brought into beautiful light!
Bless, bless, bless, bless, bless you Rhonda Byrne for bringing me that light!
