Don’t Try Too Hard.
Submitted by: Carine Vdc
BelgiumI am 50 years of age, have a loving husband and a wonderful son, age 19. I work parttime at a health centre.
I came across The Secret at the beginning of last year: it was a real eye-opener!
After that I read The Magic, did all the exercises and although I was convinced things would turn out right for me, nothing happened.
A few weeks ago I was flipping through the pages of the Daily Teachings and I came across the text of day 39 that says that it is important that you are grateful for everything in your life and not just the things you want and are focussing on.
It struck me: was I doing that? Was I focussing too much on one thing?
From that day I decided to change my life: in the morning I get up, grateful for a new day. I am grateful for all the things I come across. When I go to bed I think about the past day and choose one thing I am most grateful for. Come to think of it: I smile a lot more since then!
And now the law begins to show!
For example: today we got a bid to renovate the windows of our house. It was a bid higher than I expected. I told my mother we received the bid but I didn’t mention the amount to her. All of a sudden she said: “You know what? Why don’t I give you â¬2000, would that help?”
I did not see that coming but I gave her a big hug and told her how grateful I was.
Now I am sure more good things will cross my path!
