I’m choosing a wonderful life! And WOW!

IrelandHappy mum to three wonderful children and happy wife to a wonderful man.
Like many, I’ve spent a lot of my life battling low moods and negativity, worrying and stressing about all the bad things that ‘could’ happen, feeling envious of those who have more, and looking at the world as a threatening, gloomy place where it is luck alone that allows you a smooth path through it. I always knew to be grateful of life’s blessings, but over time that gratefulness had turned to fear as I would think, “Be glad you have your health, you never know when a serious disease could kick in,” “I might not be rich but at least I’m not in the job queue,” etc,. etc.
Over time, my fears and worries started to overwhelm me and I got to the point of feeling really terrified of the horrors life could unexpectedly throw at me for ‘no reason’. Sure enough, the more negative and anxious I got, the harder life became. The kids would all get flu bugs together, unexpected bills would arrive, I’d seem to constantly encounter negative, depressing news stories on TV and in the newspapers about the very things I’d be worrying about (which further fueled my fears), and before long I noticed any enjoyment or pleasure I got from life was slipping away from me faster than I could think!
Things came to a head after the birth of my last baby – a beautiful bonny boy with a sparkle in his eye! I promised him he’d have the best life I could possibly give him, but extreme tiredness led to gloom; I was angry, irritable and snappy, no fun to be around, I hated the place we lived, felt trapped by lack of money, and eventually I developed such crippling back pain I would cry every day just getting dressed.
I knew I now had to choose: continue living like this, everyone miserable, or change my life to exactly what I wanted.
I’d read The Secret a few years ago, and loved it, but had lost the skills of it over time. I always felt we are in control of our own destiny but never knew how to harness that power. I had recently tried to implement the rules of The Secret and the law of attraction, but my negative thinking always seemed to trip me up. But… BAM! After a visit to an acupuncturist for my back pain, I spotted The Power in the bookshop nearby and bought it, and can I say, it has placed me back on track and my life is becoming wonderful I look at everything with love and gratitude. Sometimes it’s hard, especially when your knee-jerk reaction is to think negatively of that queue-jumper, or your son walloping his sister, but the freedom and happiness that comes with love is phenomenal. It has also put the pieces in place in how exactly I can change my life to how I want it. Already:
– my husband has the job of his dreams, and getting this job, in hindsight, was a ‘Secret’ journey worthy of its own story!
– we are in the process of getting our dream house, again via an unusual path the universe opened up to me purely following my request
– our finances are improving day by day (only a few days after I requested financial abundance, we received a ‘long term not interest’ loan from a family member)
– my husband got his desired luxury car
– my back pain is gone and my buzz is back!
Sure, there are plenty of days I start badly, and I only have to look to see my negativity attracting more negativity to realise I need to pull it back to positivity and love (we all know those typical days – the rush of the mornings, grumpy mummy, grumpy kids, late for school, everyone upset, guilty mum all day, naughty kids after school, tired mum, snappy at husband, everyone in bed in a mood!!!). But no more! You can have, and moreover you DESERVE, a wonderful, happy, healthy, vibrant life.
I am motivated by a section in The Power that says a positive life needs constant commitment to positive thinking, just as a negative life needs constant commitment to negative thinking. Its just that negative thinking is often automatic so we need to be aware of it and change it. I’m picking a positive life and it feels much nicer. 🙂
Thank you Rhonda and thank you Universe what wonders await us all.
