Patna, IndiaAirline Pilot, 22, believer, nothing but grateful.
I’m a 22 year old girl from the small city of Patna in India. The story starts when I a short, chubby girl in high school. I was obese and under confident. Even though I was an excellent student in school, I had major confidence issues and was an introvert. Somehow I believed that I would achieve big things in life. One day on TV, I watched an Indian celebrity talk in an interview about how she had read “The Secret” and that’s what changed her life. I was so intrigued by the idea that I wanted to buy this book, or rather, attract it into my life. Even though I didn’t know what it was.
So Christmas rolled in and I wrote a letter to Santa asking for everything I wanted and the first thing on my list was the The Secret. I didn’t know how my parents were gonna get it in Patna, which had very few book stores. But I wanted it.
And to my surprise, I got the book along with all the other gifts I had asked for! This was in 2011.
At this point of time I wasn’t sure of what I wanted to do professionally, had no clue how to lose weight and no one in my family had any knowledge about aviation. I started reading and have not stopped till today and I don’t think I ever will. I continued to gain weight but my dream of becoming a pilot started coming true. My parents agreed and got the money to get me trained from the best institute in the country. After that I was unemployed for a year and a half but never gave up. I knew great things were meant for me and that it would all happen in God’s timing because I have the faith.
I went into depression after failing to clear the final stage of an airline exam but I came out of it stronger and then went on a vacation with my family when I got to know that the best airline in India, IndiGo airlines, had a vacancy. I applied as soon as I got home. I knew all I had to do this time was keep myself happy. So I did. The exam was in January and I was on a vacation with my family till the 2nd of Jan. That left me with just two weeks to study.
Guess what! My faith was so rigid that I scored the first rank in all of India in the written and I’m in Madrid right now doing my training on the Airbus A320! One of my best friends who was in the next batch got shifted to my batch and is my type rating partner. I also lost 12 kgs in a year and I’m so confident of myself. I am the happiest I’ve ever been!
I’m now waiting to attract love into my life. Life is a dream and all this came true because Rhonda had the vision to share The Secret with the world. I have the entire collection of The Secret books. Thank you Rhonda Byrne. Thank you Bob Proctor. Thank you Jack Canfield and thank you to the entire team of The Secret for making all my dreams come true. I love you guys. Thank you.
