Believing And Letting Go Goes A Long Way.
Submitted by: Aakanksha Damini Ghosh
SingaporeSlowly but surely learning to believe in the law of attraction! I am very ambitious and believe a lot in the power of positive thoughts and actions.
I am learning to believe in The Secret and the power of attraction and I thought that to really reinforce my mind’s belief in this, I would attract a few small things every day and then attract what I really wanted soon.
Today I woke up with a feeling that something really special was going to happen. Usually when I wake up in the morning and it’s really early I feel rather groggy and irritated. Today began the same, but as I stood in front of the mirror while brushing my teeth, I remembered reading stories on The Secret website. My father is an avid believer in this and it has changed his whole life and rebuilt his whole company and life. It was because of learning to reinforce positive thinking and belief in himself. When I looked in the mirror I thought to myself, instead of being irritated and complaining about waking up early for my college classes, I should be grateful. Grateful that I come from India where not everyone goes abroad to a beautiful country like Singapore to study.
Throughout the day when I felt my mind straying and negative thoughts entering I quickly changed my thoughts to something positive and something to be grateful for. This doesn’t happen very easily for me and I usually forget about thinking positive thoughts and go back to the rut of being negative and complaining about silly things. Today was something different though, my friend’s mother was visiting us from India and was leaving tonight for the airport. Her flight was in a few hours and we were at home in my apartment, when I suddenly mentioned this model who I really looked up to. I just mentioned her out of the blue for no rhyme or reason. My friend had never heard of her and I showed her a few pictures of her and forgot about it. I told my friend I thought that the model was really beautiful and that she lived in Calcutta where my friend lived in India and where I am originally from.
A few hours later when we went to drop her mother at the airport, we went to the check-in counter and waited for around 20 minutes. When we were about to leave, I looked up and lo and behold it was the same model, standing right in front of my friend and I waiting to check in for the same flight as my friend’s mother!
I couldn’t help but think, I was all the way in Singapore studying and today when I mentioned her, today when I decided to be more grateful and more positive, I actually saw her! She lives in Calcutta and by some chance I saw her in Singapore! It was not a coincidence, I’m sure. The same thing had happened to me 3 months ago. I was in Calcutta at a very famous, old restaurant called Mocambo and my grand mother mentioned the same model, Indrani Dasgupta for the first time to me. I looked her up and realized that I had see her in many commercials for Lakme and other cosmetic brands in India. Half an hour later we left the restaurant and there is usually a queue to go into the restaurant. As soon as I opened the door to leave I looked up and it was the same model! I was really shocked, but today was really the icing on the cake. Just a slight change in my attitude, slight change in my thoughts and I saw something which doesn’t happen in everyday life and something which I’m positive is way more than just a “coincidence”!
This to me just felt like the Universe was trying to help my mind change the way it thinks and really show me that there is a greater power and just thinking positively can bring about so many miracles! The day I thought I should start attracting small things to help me change my life, this happened! I really, really do believe in this magical law and hope others get inspired because I am awe-struck! Thank you so much!
Also, I have been reading The Secret books since I was in grade 7. My aunt bought me my first book “The Secret To Teen Power”. Last week I went to the book store looking for The Secret book, as mine was back in India and I bought The 10th Anniversary Edition of The Secret and read it again. And, just a few days later, this event takes place! It really shows you how your mind is so powerful, this is amazing!
