Thank you, thank you, thank you Rhonda and her team that’s brought The Secret to the world!
I’m a cheerful, happy go lucky girl that usually tries to smile through most of life’s ups and downs. I took up my first job in Nov ’09 post college. In Feb 2010 I met this wonderful guy that seemed to make my world go round! Within a month, we were dating. We were the exact opposites of one another in almost every possible way, and while most people claim that the first couple of months of a new relationship are the best, we’d say otherwise. The first 6 months of our togetherness was nothing short of havoc. We’d fight over the littlest of things due to an understanding gap and almost everytime come to the conclusion that we wouldn’t be able to make this work. But somehow, we’d give it another shot. Soon, our differences started to fade away and we saw happiness like never before!
We’d talked about settling down together, but we always had our disagreement around when it would happen. Everything was brilliant until the December of 2013. My family brought an ultimatum down on our heads saying we’ve got to get married by the end of 2014. So he came over to talk to my family, but things went only downhill throughout. We still tried to push marriage away until 2015, but he wasn’t convinced. He wasnât someone that believed in the concept of marriage, nor did he want an engagement. Alongside the marriage talk, we would end up arguing because he had been planning to buy a house for us to move into post marriage, and I constantly kept questioning him to know when that would materialize.
Post the marriage talk he had with my parents in December, we would constantly bicker. It came to a stage where in the next 2 months we broke up thrice. The last straw was an argument in Feb 2014, after which he absolutely refused to be with me. I cried, howled, begged and did pretty much everything in my power to make him reconsider. But nothing worked. He told me he couldn’t see a life with me anymore, and didn’t want to be with me at all. He said he didn’t want to stay in touch, and that if I called him he would change his number. I was devastated. I went into depression where I couldn’t sleep for nights. Nothing seemed to work and I just kept going from bad to worse. Crying at my workplace at the drop of a hat, crying in bed trying to sleep, crying in my mothers arms. Basically, I was a wreck.
It was around this time that my closest friend who was studying in Italy, invited me to visit her. I had nothing to look forward to in my life anymore, so I decided to give it a shot. I went for a 2 week holiday to Italy and Spain, and on the first day that I landed there, my friend sat me down and made me watch The Secret. I was surprised, and very eager to know whether this really worked. She told me about her own experience with LOA, and I now seemed to see a ray of hope out of my misery.
I decided to stop thinking about him completely. I enjoyed my vacation thoroughly, meeting new people, touring new cities that I had never dreamed I’d visit, and basically had fun like a little girl. I came back renewed. I changed my wardrobe, and when I went back to work from my 3 week holiday, my colleagues were surprised, very pleasantly, to see a completely new me! I had finally begun to live for myself, one day at a time.
However, through all this, I’d not forgotten my love. My heart still ached for him. So in May I made a vision board of us getting engaged, getting married, of all the things he’d say to me to make up for what happened, of him coming to apologise to my family for the way he had blown things out of proportion. I also made a list of all the things I loved about him and me. I asked and believed that we were back together and started feeling happy as if we were already engaged. It had been 3 months since our last conversation, but I tried to pretend like we were together.
I did this for a couple of days, and then forgot about my vision board.
Meanwhile, I also decided to go out on a few dates with a colleague who claimed to like me since ages. I loved the attention he was showering on me, but somewhere deep down I knew that my heart would always belong to my love. So after 2 weeks of dating this other guy, I parted ways saying I couldn’t feel for him what I did for my ex.
Then, 6 months after absolutely no contact, my ex called me!
It was totally out of the blue and unexpected. I saw the missed call in the morning first thing when I woke up one morning in August, and naturally called him right back. He said he had a dream about me and wanted to check if I was okay. I found that weird, but the minute I disconnected the line, I got an sms saying “I’ve missed your early morning voice”. And from there, the calls didn’t stop. He asked me to meet him, and here I was meeting a completely new man!
In those 6 months, he had sold his apartment, bought us a bigger place so that he could take me there, and willingly wanted to marry me!
Not just that, the man who claimed he didnât believe in the concept of an engagement, had gone out and bought me a ring so that he could pop the question immediately! He also called my mother, requested a meeting, and asked for my hand in marriage after owning up to all his follies!
Was I surprised?
Totally!
I then remembered my vision board, and when I looked, I realised that I had managed to get EVERY SINGLE THING I had written on it, and much, much more!
However, a small shred of doubt still existed in me after what Iâd been through. So this time, I told him that Iâd agree, but on my terms. Itâs been 4 months since weâve been talking and all he wants is a family with me. After assessing his changes for so many months, Iâve finally come to the conclusion that the changes Iâve seen are permanent, and this love is definitely here to stay.
I canât thank Rhonda and her team enough for bringing The Magic of The Secret into everyoneâs lives, and helping so many people believe that miracles do happen.
All it takes is faith! Today, weâre together, happier than ever before, and ready to get married! So yes, LOA does work! And faith has managed to make what seemed impossible, my reality.
Love, laugh and live. Life is beautiful! 🙂
