My life has stemmed from a negative foundation, beginning with an alcoholic father.
This followed into my marriage, my career and basically my life in general. I always saw the glass as half empty, was full of resentment and suspicion, and doubted everyone and everything.
I had no self-esteem despite setting my own challenges writing novels and making films independently. My father was a brutal judge about all I did and never approved of anything I achieved, including the man I married.
In 2010 I opted to make my own feature film independently, not realizing what an enormous undertaking it would be. I worked with 150 cast and crew, was the writer and producer, and the film took over five months to complete with a shady director. Dealing with chaos and three hour sleep shifts, I finally had a nervous breakdown. I called my husband at work and cried for nearly two hours.
It was then I discovered The Secret in a book store and jumped on it out of desperation. The testimonies had me hooked.
I took on the practice of ‘positivity’ theory. My life changed overnight and the glass became half full.
Now, four years later I love who I am and understand how beautiful life can be.
I thank you so much for this amazing concept that has given me rebirth and saved me from my previous horrible outlook. I only think good thoughts and feel as if life is a gift and a miracle. I push this book on everyone I know with a negative outlook on life and they always come back and thank me later on.
Now I want to thank you, Rhonda, for writing something that saved my self-esteem and gave me hope that life can, indeed, be beautiful.
