Oh Sweet Universe, You Swept Me Off My Feet!

IndiaI am an advocate, more than that, an ardent believer in The Secret!!!!
It all happened so quickly over a period of three months!! I had graduated from Law School last year and while my friends were pursuing their Masters or getting selected in job placements, I couldn’t find myself getting selected for either an LL.M. or a reputable job. I was able to qualify up until the last stage of an interview but found no success in the interview round. Adding to the pressure, COVID-19 happened and the financial pressures started to mount up.
I was doubting myself, and my abilities. Even after studying at a National Law School and getting a good CGP (overall grade point), how could I not get a job?? What was wrong with me? Was I never good enough? How will I make my parents proud or will I ever be able to make them proud? Will they regret spending so much money on my education? Basically, I was an overthinker.
Finally, after all that whining and self-doubt, I got a job. My colleagues were nice but I wasn’t satisfied because I wasn’t earning enough to even contribute to my family. I felt like studying and getting an LL.M. That was when my sister got married and Jeeju, my new brother-in-law, came into my life. He was like my own brother. He was the one who encouraged me to chase my dreams and resign from my job. My sister and my close friend said the same thing and were very supportive. When I told my parents about my decision, they were on board too.
I didn’t want to overburden my parents anymore so I took to self-study. My best friend was kind enough to share his study materials with me. I watched Youtube tutorials, used my savings to buy guide,s and started studying till late at night. It was one hell of a ride. I made a timetable and study notes. I prayed every day and filled my bedroom wall with inspiration quotes so that I would not give up.
Then one day while I was using GooglePay, I got a sample free trial for audiobooks. And that was how I met The Secret!!
The first book that came on the screen was The Secret. I had heard about it from Jeeju but I was always into fiction so I didn’t read it back then. It was a 4 minute sample audio and that 4 minutes opened my eyes. It was like some universal power was knocking sense into my head!! I just couldn’t believe it! I had to read it. I instantly checked on Youtube and there it was, the audiobook! I was amazed!! Wow! It was like the Universe wanted me to find my answers. I have to be honest, it was love at first sight. I fell in love with the concept and the words. Moreover, I understood where I had been going wrong all this while. I expected others to have faith in me when I never even believed in myself, I was always doubtful about my abilities. The days followed were my period of transition!
Fast forward to the present. I have cleared the prelims of the Munsiff-Magistrate Examination (Judiciary) and I got admission to the National Law University, Delhi which is the top leading institute of law and the most prestigious institution in India for the Master’s Programme. I am so thankful to the Universe, and to my guru for everything. I am so grateful to Rhonda Ma’am and the entire cast of The Secret team who opened the eyes of many like myself. I am so thankful to my parents, my teachers, my sister, my brother, and my best friend who always had unwavering faith in me!! This would not have been possible without you all. I am so happy and feel positive vibes these days. I found all my answers in The Secret.
The Universe is there to support you. Chase your dreams and the Universe will conspire to achieve them for you!! Have a wonderful day and Magic Dust to everyone!!!!
