Palm Springs, CAAn eighteen year-old girl who didn't realize the power of the law of attraction and relationships until her boyfriend broke up with her.
First off I would like to thank Rhonda Byrne and everyone who made The Secret and The Power possible. It has truly changed my life in ways unimaginable, and I know my life is going to be full of great things and everything I want!
I knew The Secret starting my sophomore year of high school, but didn’t practice it much. I made a vision board, but completely forgot about practicing gratitude and focusing on what I really wanted shortly after. I picked it up again my senior year of high school, and wrote quotes from The Secret all over my bedroom mirrors and bathroom mirrors as a reminder to be grateful and only focus on what I DID want.
My senior year was amazing! Because I was so positive and grateful, I got top 10 in California in Athletic Training, my school won first place in our Athletic Training competition, and my softball team went to CIF for the first time in years!
Unfortunately, because I was so busy (which should not be an excuse) the summer between my senior year of high school and freshman year of college, I stopped practicing everything about The Secret. I ended up in a job I hated and quit, I lost friends, and I started my freshman year of college on a bad note; I was scared.
I went through my first semester feeling lonely and worried, and by the time my second semester had started, I had lost a boyfriend on Valentine’s day, and had no hope. I think the guy I was dating brought a lot of worry to my life, because he lived far and I felt like he was always doing something behind my back. And guess what? That’s exactly what I got! But once we were broken up, I started to feel a lot better. I didn’t have as much worry, and I felt happy again.
That’s when I met the man of my dreams. He had practically the same situation happen to him, so we would meet up and talk about that and practically everything for hours and hours at a time. He was actually in my film class first semester, but we never talked much. I realize now that he was on a positive frequency, while I was on a negative frequency during first semester, and that’s why we never talked. It wasn’t until we were on the same frequency that we started talking.
Long story short, we fell in love. We did everything together and he was such an amazing boyfriend to me. Unfortunately, what I didn’t realize was that because he and I were so in love, he was all I focused on. I had stopped practicing The Secret, although I was always so grateful for him. After five amazing months, we fought so much, because I kept focusing on what I didn’t want from him. He and his mom were going on a trip to New York for a month, and I kept thinking about how I was going to survive with him gone for so long, and I’m sure he felt the same. When we fought, I’d tell him that he was stubborn and didn’t think about my feelings. Now I know that because I said that, that’s what I got!
We got into a huge fight the day before he left, and he told me that our fighting would only get worse as our relationship progressed, so he broke up with me. I was absolutely devastated. I couldn’t see him for a month because he was in New York, so it made things harder. This was the guy I loved and the only guy I had talked about sharing the rest of my life with!
Anyway, after a few days, he texted me and told me he needed his time and that he was just going to do his thing while he was there. However, because I was angry that I hadn’t heard from him, I dug myself a deeper hole and made things worse, to where he told me all we would ever be is friends. This made me sadder, so I called him and left him voicemails crying, telling him how I would change by the time he came back, but he didn’t give in. I told him that in order to accept this, I needed some time to myself and I couldn’t talk to him. He told me he loved me and to take care of myself.
Right after that, I began reading The Power. It made me realize that I needed to respect his decision if I ever wanted him back in my life, because by being selfish and thinking about how he made me wait around would only make things worse. I focused every day, with all of my might, on everything I loved and was grateful for.
I remembered times we shared (only the good ones), and would act as though we were still together.
I decided to text him once I felt really good, and I thanked him for all he had done for me. I got no response. The next day, I felt grateful and positive all day, and I decided to text him again. I acted on inspiration, and didn’t give myself enough time to have any doubts. I tried to explain the law of attraction and I wanted to tell him the story of how I knew the law of attraction was real.
He replied with a very negative text, saying “Would you stop sending these texts? I’m trying to move forward and enjoy my vacation but you keep bringing this up and you’re making it impossible and it’s frustrating.”
I could not believe how I felt after. I was not as upset as I had expected, because I remember reading that in order for two people to work, they have to be on the same frequency! I was on a positive frequency, and he was on a negative frequency.
It is now a day later, and I have all the hope in the world that he will eventually be back on the same frequency as me, and things will work out. I am realizing that because I am being positive, and he is being negative, our relationship cannot get better yet. But eventually, things will die down for him and he will be back on a positive frequency with me, and I KNOW that things will work out then.
The story of how I know that the law of attraction is real goes like this:
I read the part in The Power about how Rhonda Byrne and her sister focus on specific objects they want to see when they are on the frequency of love. Rhonda’s was something about direct light, and her sister’s was a rainbow. When they saw that object, they would KNOW that they are on the frequency of love, because they would’ve attracted it to themselves!
I decided I wanted to see a dragonfly, because they are so rare and I love their colors.
I left a friend’s house the other day, and got stuck in traffic on the freeway on the way home. However, I said to myself that I was in no rush to get home and I thanked the universe for practically everything around me. I kept upbeat music on, and let nothing ruin my mood. When traffic came to a complete stop, I could not believe my eyes! A dragonfly flew right in front of my windshield! It was slow and graceful, and I immediately began to cry tears of joy because I knew now the law of attraction was real! Over the next few days, I kept my mood up, I’d think about everything I am grateful for, and almost every day when I get home, I see turquoise dragonflies! On my way to work, I almost always see an orange and yellow one, too! I keep attracting them to me because I am on a positive frequency!
Thank you so much to all of the people who share their stories on here, because they give me so much hope for the life ahead of me, and with my relationship! I love reading everyone’s success stories! I know that all good things are on their way to me, and I can have, do, or be anything I want now!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
