Gratitude Heals!
Submitted by: BjC
Melbourne, AustraliaI am 33 years old. Happily married with 2 daughters. A Registered Nurse by profession. I am originally from the Philippines. Came to Australia in 2011 to realize my dream of becoming a nurse and provide a better life for my family. I've known The Secret thru a friend who's into multi-level marketing and he once told me that I can be whatever I want. I've been a follower of the Law of Attraction for almost a decade now and I haven't looked back.
I was 25 when my wife had just given birth to our first daughter. I was happy but I was also jobless. We depended mostly on my wife’s salary which was not really enough. The 3 of us lived at my parents’ house as we couldn’t afford to pay rent on our own. I struggled to provide for my family. Having no job left me thinking a lot, mostly worrying about the future or how to find a job at least. I was depressed and was very anxious. My anxiety lasted for many months and I was eventually diagnosed with panic anxiety disorder. I have experienced all the symptoms of anxiety imaginable. Ranging from simple nausea and vomiting to heart palpitations to chest pains to even feeling I was about to die. Every day it felt the same way. I was on medications but I felt I was getting too dependent on them.
And as if things weren’t bad enough, one morning while I was looking at myself in the mirror, I noticed a bald spot on my head and so I began to worry. I can tell you that Google wasn’t helpful in my situation either. A few days later I saw another bald spot. Every time I would worry, more of my hair would fall out. I lost a lot of hair and I was also losing more of my confidence. I tried creams, supplements, steroids, herbal meds, homeopathy, you name it. Nothing worked! It wasn’t long after when I lost 50 percent of my hair. That’s when I told myself I had to do something before I lose all of my hair. I was on the verge of giving up. Every day I looked in the mirror and prayed to get better.
One day I stumbled into a college friend. He then invited me to have a coffee. I wasn’t doing anything so I said ‘Okay’. He later asked how was I doing so I told him everything. He offered me to join his business venture. I wasn’t really keen on his business offer so I said no. He understood. He later on handed me a DVD and told me that maybe this could help me. I watched the tape so many times and I finally thought maybe this could actually help with my situation.
I started researching about The Secret and all the people involved. I read a lot of books about it. I listened to a lot of podcasts. It took me a while to understand the importance of being grateful every day. It took me even longer to fully understand how it works. I then started applying ‘The Secret’ to all aspects of my life. It felt like I was given a clean slate to write on whatever my heart desires.
Just a few months later, my hair had grown back and I got rid of my anxiety and depression, I’m off medications and I noticed I was happier than ever. Today, I work as a nurse in Melbourne, Australia. I use The Secret to realize all my dreams. My whole family uses it too. We use it to pretty much get anything we want.
P.S. I still get bald patches here and there, but I now know how to grow them back.
