I have always cherished my alone time, not because I disliked people, but because I appreciated the peace and tranquility it brought. I never felt lonely or longed for company as I was content with the good friends I had and the blessings I received from the Universe. However, as life progressed, external influences caused me to become negative and filled with self-doubt, guilt, and depression. Dealing with these emotions was challenging because you can’t avoid yourself.

During these tough times, I sought change and found it in “The Secret,” “The Power,” and “The Magic.” While I faltered in following their principles, these teachings remained ingrained in me. Despite still having low days, I am grateful for them as they inspire me to push harder and recognize my worth. I keep a gratitude journal where I not only document things I am thankful for but also affirm why I love myself and recognize my positive traits. For example, I once helped a man in need, giving him almost all the cash I had without expecting anything in return. This act made me proud of the compassionate person I am.

I am grateful to the Universe for allowing me to be myself and for the positive changes I’ve undergone. Posting my story here feels like a sign from the Universe, confirming that my requests have been acknowledged and that blessings are on their way. Thank you to everyone who has read my story and to Rhonda Byrne, the author of “The Secret,” for her inspirational work.
