bharuch,gujaratI am an optimistic girl who is enjoying each and every moment of her life.
This story is about how I changed my life without knowing The Secret.
From my birth I didn’t have great immunity and I used to get ill very often. I had an eye allergy from dust and sunlight. It was so strong that even if I stepped into the sunlight for few minutes, my eyes would be totally red. I couldn’t just stand in sunlight. Besides this I had a chronic cold and doctors told me that I had an allergy. My parents took me to various doctors but nothing happened.
Somehow, we accepted that and as the years passed my situation improved but it was not completely removed. This didn’t effect my studies and throughout my school I was a very bright student. After my 12th, I underwent an operation and because of that, I took a break of 1 year from my studies.
I was just devastated. When all my friends were studying and roaming with friends, I was suffering. After one year I wanted to study in a different city but because of my health issues my parents didn’t want me to go anywhere. They wanted me to study in the same city, in a particular course which I hated but because of them, I took admission.
Before joining that college, I expected that by now I would have a good group of friends and would hangout with them but it was the total opposite. All the girls I met in my college came from a very rural background and they were not interested in hanging out. They all came from very restricted family’s that were not allowed to go for any hangouts. I was completely devastated but at that time I had no options and I had to study there.
During that time I started writing a diary. After my 12th when I had to take a 1 year gap, I started cooking various dishes and I just loved it. I used to write in my diary that “I made this dish and everyone liked it. I am very happy.”
Gradually I became friends with my classmates and when I got to know about their lives, I started feeling very grateful about my life. I met a girl who had never seen a movie theater in her life. Can you believe it? There were lots of girl who used to wake up early to complete household chores. These things taught me that I am very lucky. My parents fulfilled my each and every wish. I was never asked to do any household chores. This all taught me how lucky I was. I was very grateful for my parents, my family, and my childhood friends. Even for my college, for if I had not been there, I would have never realized how lucky I was. I wrote this in my diary and about how grateful I was.
Gradually my life improved. I had very good health and my allergy problem that I had for 17 years got cured. I don’t know how, but yes, it was completely removed.
Then out of nowhere, I had a really good group of friends. I was very happy. Then after my graduation, my parents allowed me to study in a different city as I had perfect health. I took admission in a very reputed college and there I had the best time of my life. I had amazing friends there with whom I had the most amazing times of my life. Right now, my life is amazing. I have perfect health. I have so many friends. I am enjoying each and every day of my life.
All these things happened just because of writing in my diary. At that time I didn’t know that I was using gratitude to change my life. I didn’t even know the term called ”gratitude”. Initially I was grateful for my culinary skills and after that, God gave me various reasons to be grateful. Even today I am grateful for my college because that changed my life.
To all those who are reading my story, just be grateful for a single thing, God will bless you with thousands of reasons to be grateful.
