I have read The Secret a few years back before I was married but at that time it didn’t make full sense to me. But the teachings behind it have always been at the back of my head so I started listening to the audio version, slowly digesting every chapter before I move on to the next.

At first you do go through a period of disbelief and constantly have to debate with your other persona, the cynical one that ‘questions’ everything. But funny how when you start filling you thoughts with positive ones, it takes hard work to even think of negative thoughts or even be in a negative mood.

After literally tilting my thoughts to positive thinking and starting my gratitude journal, I started noticing subtle changes, I called it my daily miracles. It is as small as a radio show that shares a pop quiz to see whether you are married to your ideal man (I scored a 9 out of 10) to my 8 month old daughter falling from her baby chair.

It was almost a surreal experience. My family just had a one night trip to a nearby holiday destination and we were tired to the bone. After having dinner at a restaurant before heading home, I stood up to adjust my ring sling (my daughter was just inches away from me) and I didn’t noticed that she was standing up and suddenly she fell out of her high baby chair, head first, straight onto the wooden floor.

My heart literally stops and in that split second, I saw my daughter falling on a bed of fluffy feathers. I quickly picked her up and but at the same time my mind was racing with a lot of ‘why’. Why didn’t I hear the normal ‘thud’ when she fell? Why is she not crying in pain?

I am still in a state of disbelief, my husband scolded me for being irresponsible (I have since learned my lessons) but can’t comprehend why the baby is not crying in pain after the fall.

I felt really bad, like an incompetent mother, especially when you’re tired it is easier to beat yourself up but I just can’t feel the anger.

As if I know angels have saved my baby and I am simply consumed with the feelings of gratitude, nothing else but the feelings of gratitude.

Now I am still learning and applying all the methods in making my dreams comes true. When I am having one of my bad days, the first things that comes in mind is that my angels are around me constantly guiding and looking over me.

So thank you Rhonda for opening my heart and mind to limitless possibilities, thank you to all the Gurus that makes up The Secret, thank you to the Universe who is making all my wishes comes true.

Thank you.. thank you.. thank you..
