I met my boyfriend over a year ago, and he is everything I had ever hoped for and wanted in a relationship. However, with time, I became negative about him and our relationship. I became controlling and judgmental and nagged him to change. My boyfriend, being the wonderful man he is, did his best to make me happy, but naturally, there came a point when it became too much for him to take. And, the law of attraction returned to me what I had inside of me: judgment, unhappy feelings, and obvious results. So it was no surprise he judged me as not being ‘The One’, and it was no surprise he became unhappy with me.

So, a year into the relationship after he broke up with me, I instantly knew I wanted him back. I Googled ‘how to bring an ex back’ and stumbled across The Secret Stories. I got The Secret and watched it several times a day. I was familiar with the law of attraction so it took me no time to believe in it and start applying it.

I kept my faith strong. Every day I would affirm and thank the Universe for bringing us together again as a happy, committed couple. I realized that happiness is an inside job. I started giving myself and making myself happy. I forgave myself for my neurosis to attract his forgiveness. I released all judgments against him and began perceiving life and our relationship from a place of love and healing to attract the same from him. I visualized us being together every day. I would close my eyes and imagine us hugging each other so tight, as if we’d never let go again. And I truly meant it and felt it. Every time I visualized the scene, I would cry with happiness, and the muscles in my arms would tense up as if I were really hugging him with all my might.

Sure, it got hard sometimes. On some days, I felt like he would stick to his decision and never come back to me. But I would catch myself as I sensed the downward spiral. Watching and reading The Secret kept reminding me that it was of utmost importance that I be happy and I feel good. I would remind myself that unwavering faith in my desired outcomes has never let me down. That every time I had truly believed in an outcome, it never failed to happen. And, my faith would grow strong and help me feel better.

I cultivated the habit of immediately focusing on my own happiness the moment I started to feel despair. I was compassionate and patient with myself. I followed my intuition every time I felt the nudge in my stomach to take action; I took action, releasing my fears and doubts into the Universe. I wrote my desires as well as my fears in my journal. I learned to only focus my attention on what I wanted and not the negative aspects of my present situation. I learned to feel gratitude for having him in my life, the most amazing, most perfect, wonderful man.

As time passed, my conviction that he was indeed my soulmate and that we were meant to spend the rest of our lives together only got stronger. I let my feelings guide me into the place of truly, really believing and knowing that my boyfriend would come back and our relationship would heal in a miracle.

And, of course, that is exactly what happened. One day, right after I was guided to write and send him a farewell poem, he finally broke down and said the words I had prayed to hear: he admitted that he had been regretting breaking up with me more and more as time passed, but couldn’t muster the strength or faith to say it to me. What he really needed was a little time to gain perspective and insight, and that, of course, I am ‘The One’ for him. He even apologized for putting us through three weeks of separation!

I am genuinely thankful for the knowledge shared in The Secret. Its creators will never know how grateful I am to them for helping me heal my relationship. They saved me from a lifetime of regret, instead filling it with love and light.

I am extremely happy and grateful to report that today, my relationship is strong, happy, and committed. I have cultivated my lessons, and my boyfriend and I seem to radiate love and light!
