My Belief In The Law of Attraction.
Submitted by: Arthur Russell
CanadaMy name is Arthur Russell, and I live in Ontario, Canada. I've worked as a paramedic for thirty-three years, in a small town not too far from Toronto. I've been divorced now for about ten years, and I'm the father to two grown children.
Since I was a very young man, I’ve had been intrigued by the nature of life. My curiousity about the nature of life itself deepened when my father died suddenly at the age of fifty-four. I wanted to know where a person goes, what happens, and who we truly were.
My search lead me to books that ring true with the Law of Attraction. As a teenager, I found myself reading books such as Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude, and The Power of Positive Thinking. I understood some of the principles involved, but many others remained a mystery. Still, though, there was a deep curiousity within me that would come and go. On and on I read.
In my late twenties, I married, became the father of two wonderful children, and settled into family life. I was fairly content with my employment, but I knew that a part of me yearned for more. During my married years, I attempted various careers moves and continued to read books about Buddhism, Spirituality, and Self Improvement.
Life continued on a fairly steady course until one morning in August of 2006. It was then that I suddenly learned that my (now) ex-wife was having an affair. I was devastated. It was the lowest point of my life. When my attempts to help save our marriage were unsuccessful, I moved to an apartment a few kilometers away and did my best to keep going. I missed my old life immensely, and the pain of going on with life seemed unbearable.
It was not until February or March of 2007 that my life began to turn around; for it was then that I “attracted” your book entitled The Secret into my life. I can still remember it to this day. After bringing it home, I eagerly began to read. I liked that it was easy to understand, and reading the quotations from famous people lifted my spirits. I can remember thinking: “My life can still be good, even after the pain of divorce.” After reading the book, I sought out the DVD of the same name and watched it over and over.
The process of positive change in my life was slow, but at least the quality of my life was improving. From that time, I have continued on my path of greater understanding about the Law of Attraction. I then attracted books such as The Science of Success, The Master Key System, The Secret of the Ages, In the Flow of Life, Manifesting Change, etc. The list of such books goes on and on; I have read over sixty such books at this point, and I continue to read and learn.
About four years ago, I wrote my own book on the Law of Attraction, and in the fall of 2014 I had it published as an ebook. It’s entitled Hold That Thought. In early January of this years, I found myself starting a blog entitled Think2wice; and I find myself loving to share the wisdom that has come as the result of my self inquiry.
The Secret was the start of my transformation, and I want to thank you sincerely for sharing publishing it! It has truly transformed my life. Now, as in the case with Rhonda and so many others who have learned the truth regarding the Law of Attraction, I find myself just wanting to share and help people elevate their lives.
Thanks again. With kindest regards,
Arthur Russell
