I am in a steady relationship with my best friend for 7 months, and we love each other a lot. I know 7 months isn’t much, but for me it’s like a lifetime already.

We were really happy together until I began to intrude in his space. I wanted to control his life. I used to tell him what to do and what not to. He wanted to point out this to me earlier, but I wasn’t ready to listen. This continued for a long time. Coupled with this was another issue. My boyfriend couldn’t talk with me much because he had a lot going on in his life. In spite of knowing the reason, I kept on arguing with him every other day as to why he didn’t have time for me at all. He tried reasoning with me but I was adamant.

Finally, a week ago, he messaged me “This problem has been persisting since the beginning of this relationship. I cannot give you what you want the way you want it. We promised to tackle everything mutually but it’s not feasible. I am losing faith in you and us.” He even went on to say “Yes, you have been getting in my way”.

I was shattered, hearing such harsh words coming from the person closest to me after my family. I cried every day, lost my appetite, began to lose my concentration and couldn’t sleep at night because I was crying all the time. I began to blame myself for all that happened. I stopped loving myself and started hating myself.

One evening, I was going through my books when I came across The Secret and so my thoughts ran. I have used it before and am familiar with power of this secret, why not use it now? And so I did.

I promised myself that before one week goes by, things will be good between us again. I read The Secret to Relationships and realized that all this while I had not been feeling good about myself. I had not been loving myself as much as I should and in this process I was blocking all the love and good coming my way.

I decided to rectify this immediately. Before anything else I started loving myself and having good thoughts about myself. Next I made a list of the things I love about him and began to remember the times we were so happy with each other. I asked the Universe for help and it responded. Within a week, he came around and in exactly the way I had imagined it to be, right down to the dress I would be wearing when he would say that he wants to be with me. I made a Sorry Card for him and put all my positive energy into it while making it.

When I gave him the card, I looked away, afraid of how he might react. He said “I have decided what to do. Five-ever it is. When I heard this, I knew I had him back because he used to say ‘forever’ is mainstream, ‘five-ever’ is more like it. My happiness knew no bounds. I flung my arms around him and started to cry happy tears on his shoulder.

Thanks to The Secret, I got my man back, the person I love so much. Thank you Rhonda for giving us such a wonderful gift and for making us realize the true potential of our thoughts. One should always believe in what one says or does. Never doubt yourself. Have faith in yourself, have faith in The Secret. In Charles Haanel’s words, “There is no limit to what this law can do for you; dare to believe in your own ideal; think of the ideal as an already accomplished fact.”
