A Grateful Experience.
Submitted by: Wanda Rodriguez
Bronx NYI am a mother of three, working a 9-5 as an Entitlement Specialist. I have lived with a narcissistic person for about 23 years. Thanks to The Secret and positive people all around me, I am learning to appreciate all I have experienced and how to move forward.
Throughout my life as an adult with my partner, my partner thought me to be an unreliable mother, wife, and woman. I pushed everyone away to try and avoid angering him. Seven years ago I started reading The Secret and it caught my attention. I was living with a narcissist, which I didn’t know at the time, and that made using The Secret difficult, so I gave up.
Four years later I tried it again but this time I kept it to myself. I started doing research and making notes to myself. Around that time I broke up with him, so it made it easier for me to focus on me. After a year I thought his verbal abuse had stopped, still not realizing that he was a narcissist.
I had signed up for college and earned my BA in Psychology. During college, I learned about narcissistic personality disorder. It identified him completely! Within a year we split up again. He was accusing me of sleeping around and of trying to get people to physically hurt him. However, by then I knew that was part of his disorder.
Throughout the time I never stopped reading The Secret nor did I stop meditating or working on my worth. Today I will say I am thankful for The Secret and the Universe. I have learned to appreciate everything I have experienced, accept everything that occurs, and not ask why. Every day I wake up and I go to sleep with a grateful heart regardless of what the day has brought me. I love my life and every blessing in it. I am grateful and forever will be and I will continue to imagine and dream my journey. I have become self courageous and strong and have the ability to visualize what I want to be and do. I am proud of myself and I love myself and the Universe. Thank you for Hero. Thank you to The Secret.
