Hi everyone,
I am Ameyaa from India. I came to know about The Secret from a community on Facebook and it has helped me so, so, so much.
Let me just give you some details about my course. I was a student of Dentistry in a college in India. BDS in India is a five year course which comprises 4 years of studies and 1 year of compulsory internship. The third and fourth years are when we start treating patients. For our final year university examinations, we have 8 subjects for theory exams and we have to have a patient for each one of them for the practical exams of the same. If we do not get a patient for our exams with specific criteria as instructed, we would be failed in that subject. Those 8 subjects are, well, huge or vast. Whichever you choose. And you have a specific quota of patients to treat in each department. If you fail to have them you will not be allowed to appear for the examinations. Period. Any Dental students reading this can very well relate to this.
So coming back to my story, our college is very strict about the rules and we were running here and there during the last minute, searching for patients to complete our quota and finally start studying.
Oh, and a very good thing (note the sarcasm) about our course, is that if your teacher does not like you, you are done for. He or she can fail you, irrespective of how good a student you are.
So just 2 weeks were left for our theory examinations to begin and I had not even completed my quota of patients, let alone start studying. And thanks to Murphy’s law, when you are in extreme need of cases to finish your quota, not a single soul turns up in the Dental hospital.
I had read The Secret before and had had very good experiences by following the methods mentioned in the book. So, I thought of giving it a try and hoped fervently for it to work this time. So during the 2 weeks left for our exams to begin, I began applying the principles of The Secret once again in my life. In the mornings, I used to go to the college, treat patients, come back in the evening, take a nap and start studying till 1 in the morning and then sleep till 6 AM. Before sleeping I used to repeat these 3 things, so that they got ingrained in my subconscious mind:
1. Thank you Universe for helping me complete all my pending work well before the exams.
2. Thank you Universe for helping me remember all that I have studied.
3. Thank you Universe for making me the topper of my batch.
Well, the last one was a bit too much, considering the fact that many people have completed a round of revision while I was yet to touch my books. But irrespective of all that, I believed that I was capable of doing it and irrespective of whatever happened around me, I held strong to my beliefs. And the rest, dear readers, I think is predictable.
I was able to my quotas a week before the exam started! I used the remaining week completely for studying, and guess what?!
The questions were all that I had hoped would come! I got patients for each of the 8 subjects for my practical examinations! And the cherry on the cake?
I was the topper of my batch!!!
All I could say at that moment when I got the result was,”Thank you Universe. Thank you Rhonda and thank you God”.
To all those who are reading this, have faith in yourself. Dream big and when you work towards achieving your dreams, be grateful to every single thing. Be positive and believe in yourself and the Universe will surely open up doors where there were only walls.
I thank Rhonda Byrne for bringing The Secret into our lives. Thank you.
