Everything has a reason….

Submitted by: Claire

NY

Hi…. I am a young lady at the age of 27, but I can say that I have been always a really lucky and happy person.

When I was a kid, I went through really serious problems in my family, grew up in a really unhappy family but with a wonderful mother. Every time I would be crying in my room while my parents were discussing, I was always dreaming about my future. Every time that some problems occurred and gave me pain, I would say to myself that “something really good is gonna happen, that is why I am going through this.” All my family partners and my friends were saying how strong I was.

Years passed, I had a good education, went abroad and built a life with high quality. I always had nice surprises in my life, getting things much easier and I used to think it was always by chance. That is why I always admit that I was lucky and God is really generous to me. I got a job without really looking and have been happily working there for the last 4 years, although time to time aspiring to be a part of a bigger company.

But everything started last July, unexpected and unfair things started to happen to me at work. For the first time in my life I was feeling that I am an outsider, cause I was not even invited to social events. I was so shocked and disappointed and things were getting worse, and I was trying to understand. I even asked people, and nobody was telling me what was wrong with me. Finally I have looked at the combination of tiny things as a sign and decided to change my job.

Although I read The Secret 3 years ago, I took it from the shelf and read it again. I have started to make mediations, trying to smile all the time, full time self-motivating in my head, put pictures on my wall, everything. But it was not working, and since the time got longer (8 months), I was having more ups and downs, most of the time I could not stop crying if I even started to think that I am not strong any more like I used to be. And I was thinking all that luck I had has gone, I am now paying it back. I just wanted to get out of that black period and seriously I was so tired.

As most of you, I started the new year with new focuses. Just to forget my problems, while I was searching for a solution, which was job-seeking, I was trying to keep myself busy with other things… I have done courses which I wanted to do for a long time, I bought a car and it was a really good deal, that all my friends were surprised about. I won a holiday gift card and then a cellphone from TV, all those happen in 2010 :)). But, I still did not reach my highest wish, a new job. I was really good one day and really bad the other day… I was waiting for the answers of more than 20 applications, but nothing nothing…. nothing was coming….

And then… the moment that I was about to loose all my hope…. my telephone rang, the place I wanted the most called me and told me they want me even without a second round of interview. Can you imagine how I was?

I am now over the clouds….. working in the place where I always wanted to but I was never sure that I was experienced enough. Thank you all my colleagues, that gave me problems, made me sad. It was the channel of the Universe that showed me that I was ready to switch to that big company which was always in my subconscious.

Everything has a reason in life, if we can learn how we can benefit from them….. If you are sad right now, you are having things happen in your life which are not fair and you try to change things but you can’t… wait for it, something really good, which is the thing you want more than anything, which is the best for you, is gonna happen… The Universe is just trying to show the best path for you.

Thank you Rhonda.
