It’s In the Little Things
Submitted by: Shannon T.
Toronto, CanadaMy boyfriend of five months just broke up with me unexpectedly a week and a half ago. He told me that he loved me, but he did not feel that he was in love with me. I went home that night feeling absolutely terrible, I was crying, and I felt so lost and confused. I slept badly and when I woke the next morning, I began crying once more, not knowing what to do with myself. It was then that I glanced over at my desk and saw “The Secret” sitting out, I had taken it out a few nights before by accident and forgot to put it away.
I realized I was going to have to make a choice. Either to wallow in my own self pity and despair of having lost this wonderful guy, or make the choice to be positive, to try and follow The Secret and the Law of Attraction, and work on attracting him back to my life.
I made the decision to follow The Secret. I immediately popped it into my laptop and watched it carefully, taking notes, writing down important things that I could use to help myself. That day I went out to a local Chapters and bought a copy of The Secret book, wanting to learn even more to fully utilize the power of the Law of Attraction.
The more I read and studied, the happier and more hopeful I became. I promised myself that I could attract my boyfriend back into my life, have him contact me in some way to rekindle our relationship. I didn’t know how, or what might cause him to do this, but I remembered the ‘hows’ are not up to me, they are up to the Universe, and all I have to believe in is the ‘what.’
I started writing in my journal, entries about him and I being back together and how happy I was. I drove out to a few scenic spots just outside my city, listening to positive music, believing in the positive messages they were telling me, and feeling absolutely great. I was surprising myself with how wonderful I felt…I just kept telling myself that we were already back together, and I had nothing to worry about or fear. The Universe tells us, “Your wish is my command.”
So, this is when the magic really started to happen. A few nights later I went out on a late night drive out to a river about twenty minutes outside my house. I was listening to great music, singing and dancing along, feeling wonderful thinking about getting back together with my boyfriend. I decided it was time to head home so I turned my car around and started back up the familiar road. I decided to put on a song I hadn’t listened to in a while called, “Just Around the Corner.” As I was singing along and turning the corner, the lyrics literally were, “Great possibilities, just around the corner, just around the corner.” I was singing along and as I turned the corner, I glanced to my left and standing 10 feet from my car in the forest on the side of the road was a deer.
I pulled my car to a stop, rolling down my window and staring in utter shock and awe at the deer. She stared back at me for a few moments before turning and hopping back into the forest. I was blown away. I couldn’t believe it. Talking about being at the right place at the right time! Even the song lyrics told me that what had just happened wasn’t just a coincidence. I was so thankful, I immediately started thanking the Universe for allowing me to see the deer. I had driven out this way hundreds of times over the past years, and not ONCE had I EVER seen a deer.
I drove home feeling absolutely phenomenal. I knew the Universe was trying to tell me I was on the right track, and I had to just keep doing what I was doing.
The next night I was in the same spot at the river, and I told myself I wanted to see a shooting star. I gazed up at the sky for about twenty minutes, straining my eyes to bring the sky into clearer focus, but I didn’t see anything. Finally I gave up looking and went home. Later that night, around 1 in the morning, I had the sudden urge to get into my car again and drive out to the same spot. As I rolled down my window I gazed up and told myself, “I believe I will see a shooting star. I KNOW that I will see a shooting star.” No sooner had the words run through my mind, a shooting star flashed right across the center of my vision as I stared up at the sky. I couldn’t believe it. I started crying, I was so shocked and happy. I thanked the Universe once more for allowing me to see something so lovely.
Still, I had received no contact or communication from my ex, but I never gave up hope. I kept lifting myself up higher and higher, knowing I was doing the right thing, and constantly visualizing what I wanted to receive, and feeling the wonderful, positive feelings I knew I would feel once I received them.
Then, two nights ago, as I was driving back home from a friends house, I noticed a bunch of signs with deer on them, warning drivers that the area was home to many deer, so drivers should be aware of them being near the roads. I had never remembered seeing so many of the signs before, and I thought in the back of my mind, I would really love to see some deer. If I were to see some deer, then I would know for sure that my ex will call. Then I immediately stopped myself, thinking, No, no, I don’t need to see any deer. I don’t want to disappoint myself.
I drove on for another five minutes or so and suddenly changed my mind. I thought, I’m going to see some deer. Okay Universe, bring on the deer!
As I continued to drive, I kept thinking that thought in my head, Okay Universe, bring on the deer! I decided to drive up a road I normally don’t take, just to see what might happen. As my car crested the top of a hill, I glanced to my left and right, straining my eyes to see if I could see some deer in the woods. Then I told myself, No, if I am meant to see some deer, then I will. I wont have to strain myself to see them, they’ll just be there! So I drove normally, and happened to glance to my left. There, in the forest, were four deer.
I pulled my car to a stop on the side of the road and covered my mouth with my hands, tears forming in my eyes and streaming down my cheeks. I almost thought I had imagined them, but then the car behind me stopped as well and pulled to the side to see the deer a little better.
I was so blown away. I couldn’t believe it. I had only thought of seeing the deer five minutes before, and had even had doubts about whether I should ask to see them or not. Once I had made up my mind, they were there in front of me within minutes.
I couldn’t stop crying on my way home. I was so happy, so content, so astonished. I knew then, that something was trying to tell me, this Law of Attraction stuff really does work, and I need to keep doing what I’m doing.
Last night my ex contacted me and told me that he would like to discuss things with me when he returns from the road trip that he is on in a weeks time. I have no idea what it is we will talk about, or what will happen, but I know that as long as I continue to think positively, to visualize, and to believe, that that conversation between him and I is going to go in exactly the direction that I want it to. I am so excited about what has happened to me over the past week!
I have a feeling I’m going to be writing in here once more, telling everyone the happy story of the conversation I will have soon that will rekindle my relationship between my ex and I.
To everyone out there, this stuff WORKS. Do whatever it is you need to do to make yourself feel as happy and joyful and thankful as you will feel when you receive what it is you’re asking for. Never, never, never give up, always have hope, and always stay positive and grateful. You will not believe all of the amazing things that are waiting for you…’Just Around the Corner!!’
