Dreams Do Come True!
Submitted by: Sunshine Saška
SlovakiaI used to be negative, moaning, and complaining, and life didn’t go as I wanted. Now I’m happy and grateful and can’t wait for what life brings.
I lived in London, UK with my girlfriends. We were young, broke but happy. One of the girls got a present, it was The Secret book. We read a bit and laughed. What a stupid thing, you attract everything to your life?!
Well, things didn’t go well in the following few years. I hated my jobs, I couldn’t find a relationship, I was negative and all I cared about was partying. My health got worst and I realized I needed to do something about myself. My friend reminded me about The Secret book so I started to read it, watched a documentary, and started to apply those things to my life. I read more and more books and slowly things started to improve. I got a new and better paying job, found a boyfriend, and bought my first flat.
I guess I became negative again because I almost lost it all. My boyfriend broke up with me, I left the job as I wasn’t happy anymore and they let me go from the new job. I didn’t have money and my health wasn’t great. My friend moved in with me and helped me with bills. But after a few months, she moved out and I had to pay for everything from my part-time job. And then my father called to tell me that my mum tried to drink herself to death! We had a bad relationship due to her drinking and I hardly spoke to her. For a few years, I was working on forgiving her and my dad for my childhood. I was trying to heal my inner child. So I had no choice but to go home to Slovakia and support her.
My monthly payments for the flat were about £1500 and I had no idea how I was going to cover everything if I did not work.
But the Universe always supports us when we do the right things. I managed to find tenants and left. While my mum was in rehab, I kept being positive and grateful, and I believed that things were going to improve again.
After my mum got better I went back to the UK. I applied for a job and got it! It had a great salary, location, and everything I wanted. But again after 4 years, I was depressed. I kept getting an increase and bonuses but it wasn’t what I really wanted. I knew my heart was not in it and if I did not leave soon, things would get bad again.
So I decided to leave the UK. But then Covid hit and things changed. My job allowed me to work from home which was great. I tried to occupy myself with exercises, walks, cooking, and reading, but I felt lonely. I was 37 and single. Most of my friends moved away from London and I didn’t have anyone close or nearby.
And then I met the love of my life. I had a list of traits that I wanted in my dream man and he had 95% of them! We both wanted to leave the UK but were afraid about how we were going to survive financially. Slowly my health started getting worse and I became more unhappy. I could no longer stay in a corporate environment. So I started to prepare myself mentally and physically. I kept telling myself that everything will work out. I started to save up money, pack up things at home, and clean up my desks, and eventually, I resigned. They even gave me a bonus and paid for my holidays when I left so I knew I was making the right choice.
A year later we now live in Slovakia. My boyfriend has a great job which allows us to travel a lot. My health improved straight away and now we’re planning to have a baby and move to a new house. Our relationship got better, and he even started to believe in the law of attraction and The Secret. I have my family and friends next to me, and I am genuinely happy and super grateful.
I know some people might fight, and things will always get bad at times but I don’t see it that way. I see it as a challenge. If you’re doing something you don’t love, eventually the Universe will kick your bum!
