UniverseGirl, 20, finding Heaven on Earth
Dear Secret Team,
I’ve always wanted to wait for something really really major to happen before writing this to you, but hey, I reflected and thought that maybe now’s the right time, given all that has happened.
I’ve always believed in that somehow, all our dreams will and can come true as a child. Even though from young I had a feeling that I was a little different from other children, I didn’t think much about it and enjoyed being myself.
Fast forward to 2008, when my aunt first introduced me to The Secret. My family was not really spiritual, and I was surprised that she actually did have an interest in it. She didn’t seem the type. I read the book anyway, but it wasn’t the right time for me to know of such knowledge, and hence I didn’t understand and left it aside.
The next year, I became friends with this girl by chance. What started out as an innocent question about my star sign (I was born on a cusp) led to a full blown sharing about each other. A few months into our friendship, she told me about the LOA and the Universe. I noticed how she managed to manifest things so easily – there was once she wanted a part time job, but wasn’t sure what to get. Out of boredom one day she suggested we both called up the beauty counters at department stores asking for jobs. I randomly called one of them just because I felt like it, and the name of the brand matches my name. Guess what? They directed us to their main office and there was a position open. We were told to go down for an interview immediately and when we arrived, we were told that there was only one position. I didn’t want the job and purposely screwed up the interview and gave it to my friend. It turned out to be her dream part time job! Well who knew, the Universe was working through me to deliver what she wanted! She also introduced me to books such as Think And Grow Rich, and encouraged me to think of myself in terms of success.
That was just one incident. I always admired how quickly and easily she manifested things. She was always very happy go lucky and appreciative of what she has. Seeing her made me wonder why it was always so difficult for me to manifest.
The next year came, and I met a wonderful guy and we got together. This guy was very good at manifesting things as well, it’s just that he doesn’t consciously know The Secret. He always believed himself to be a lucky guy, and was always very positive. There was once we wanted to go catch a concert together, but the tickets were expensive. I was worried we wouldn’t get any, but he told me to relax, he’ll get the tickets somehow. There was a contest at our campus radio station offering 2 tickets, and he won it for us. He just kept manifesting everything he wanted.
However, a year into our relationship we broke up and I became depressed. I was already a negative person, but this plunged me down the depths of hell even further. That was when I remembered The Secret. Hey, no harm trying, right? I read it, and out of desperation, started praticising it. I did everything I could, and slowly lifted myself out (with the help of close friends too).
In December last year, I created a list of the perfect man I wanted for myself.
The only problem was that at that time, I didn’t believe such a wonderful person could exist. But it didn’t matter, I started telling my best friends about it. In March, I bought a special perfume that I’d use only for my man. In May, I had a feeling that somehow I was ready(even though I haven’t fully believed in it yet), and started using the perfume. In June I had a strong feeling that I should redo my room. It was like as if the Universe guided me – my parents suggested the idea to me (even though I never told them and it was only in my head) and it was all done in 2 weeks. My friend wanted my old clothes to sell at a garage sale. Perfect.
Make no mistake – I still met guys who I thought were cute and all, but I knew they weren’t what I wanted. I didn’t care and just went ahead to date them, even though you probably know how it ended. I couldn’t resist being a player.
Then later in August this year, I started being disillusioned about having flings. Not to say you can’t have your fun dating before your man pops into your life, but something in my heart just felt… empty. Then one day I saw “The Game” on my shelf. I had that book 2 years before, but just never read it. I just randomly decided to read it and BAM! It made perfect sense to me! I instantly connected with what the author was saying – about him realising there’s a difference between managing to pick up a girl, and being in a relationship, and he was feeling empty after so many pickups. Now I knew why I only read it then – cos if I’d read it earlier, I’d never have understood it as I was still in my “player” stage (yes, even while I was in a relationship. No, that wasn’t why it fell apart though).
I told one of my best friends and she said “Well, maybe now you’re truly ready to ask God to show you the man who’s meant for you”. It took me 8 months to finally be this ready. But hey I did learn a lot. The Universe did bless me with many things as well (e.g. all the things I wanted to buy at a discount, a trip to the countryside with someone – who turned out to be my father).
If you’re wondering whether I’ve found my man yet – no. School has started and somehow I had to urge to study really hard this time. I’ve never studied this hard before, I swear! I’ve no idea why this happened, but as my friends were telling me – now’s not the time to date, now’s the time for you to study! If you have your man right now, you’d forget about your studies and spend all your time with him. It’s true, though. I guess like what you said – the Universe knows only perfect timing, and I guess now’s the perfect time for me to focus on my schoolwork.
I’m not too sure who my man is – could it be my past love? Or will it be someone new who will enter my life? I’m not too concerned about such questions (as I used to be in March, and worry myself to death over it). All I know is that I know exactly what I want in my man, and that we’ve already started tracing the path to each other where we shall meet halfway, at the perfect time with the help of the Universe. All else along the way is just bringing us closer together.
I thank you, Dear Secret Team, for all your kind advice. One year ago, compared to now, is a world of difference. I’m positive, I manifest things, I’ve so much more faith in the world, and most importantly, I’ve found the inner peace in myself when there was once so much conflict. And now I’m ready for the love of my life too! Thank you! And to you dear readers out there, I thank you all for sharing your stories, many of which I’ve read over the last year and helped keep the light in me. I hope you will find your own personal miracle with the LOA and the Universe as well.
Much love,
Loretta
