Finding Permanent Happiness!

Submitted by: Sally G.

Newington, CT

I am 60 years young and have a 31-year-old daughter and 5-year-old golden retriever. I am divorced and finally find myself happy within after reading Rhonda's latest book, The Greatest Secret.

Hi Rhonda,

I have had several very difficult times in my life, both emotional and physical. These times left me with low self-esteem, untrusting, feeling limited, hiding my emotions, feeling hidden in other people’s or my own shadow, and never having the willingness to go for anything beyond my own reach.

When I was 16, my brother, who was 11 months older than me, died of brain cancer. His diagnosis was hidden from me and my remaining siblings until a few days before he died. After his death, we were not allowed to talk about it and were expected to proceed as normal. It was the saddest period of my life.

In my thirties, I was bedridden with my back for 5 years. I was divorced with a young child. I shut myself off from the world and relied on my small inner circle for everything. While people knew I was in pain, nobody knew the emotional toll that time had taken on me, not even my surgeon. Luckily, I found a spinal surgeon who took me under his wing, and through many years of treatment and 2 spinal fusions, I gained my mobility back and now live pain free.

Several other events left emotional scars, but in July 2020, I got laid off from my job and it shook my world. I had read The Secret several years ago, but after my layoff, The Secret and The Magic helped me to start to feel better and began to help me make a positive change.

But it wasn’t until The Greatest Secret came out that a change happened that began the onset of me finding my true self. A true happiness from within that I had never experienced in my whole life. All of The Greatest Secret had an amazing effect on me but the process of ending negative feelings and limited beliefs was life-changing. I realized at that point that all of the negative feelings, emotions, and beliefs that I was currently feeling had plagued me my entire life through all of the tough events in my life. These emotions plagued me for the past 45 years. When I went through the process that The Greatest Secret taught about releasing these damaging emotions, feelings, and beliefs, I felt released from a bondage that I cannot describe. I feel free!!

After my layoff, I began a process of different modes to help me deal with the stress that I was feeling. I was feeling better but still was weighed down. After reading The Greatest Secret, I feel light, like I am floating through life. I feel confident and limitless. Staying in Awareness, now more than not, I no longer have negative emotions, like worry or fear, and if I do, I know how to dissolve them immediately. I thank you so much!!

Because of my new self, I sat down in early 2021 and decided I was going to write a book. I never would have had the confidence or drive to do this before. My manuscript describes the hard events in my earlier life and my journey to where I am now. Love, gratitude, and staying as Awareness are the cornerstones of my life. I would love to have the chance to share my manuscript with you. You have changed everything for me and I thank you so much!

Gratefully,

Sally G.
