How My Life Took A U Turn For The Better
Submitted by: SR
IndiaI happily and wholeheartedly trust The Secret to guide me and make the right decisions in life!
I write this, inspired after reading some of the personal stories on the site. I am grateful to all those who made the effort of putting a part of themselves here and thought that someone might benefit from reading it. I did so thank you.
I have been working with The Secret for more than 3 years now and though I have seen some amazing outcomes as a result of it, it wasn’t until recently that I actually started living it.
I am pursuing a technical degree. My first year scores were very good, but they weren’t exactly what I had in mind. As a result I wasn’t really grateful for what I had secured. Come second year of college and my marks were simply horrible! To have been a brilliant student throughout school and to get less than what I was capable of was simply unacceptable to me.
It’s the lowest I had gone. I had let myself listen to people who told me how difficult that current semester was. I gave a lot of energy into listening to them. I went from a point of expecting good things to feeling fear and anticipating all dreadful things subconsciously. So I had reaped what I had sown.
After that setback, I took matters in my hands. I would repeatedly tell myself again and again and again what James Ray says in the film, “This is not who you are this is who you were.”
My next semester of the second year saw me working hard, especially at a subject which I loved. I expected good marks, but alas! Though a definite improvement they were not even close to what I had expected. I was dejected for a few days and decided to put my marks for revaluation. I had started my third year by now and decided to put everything behind me and actually feel enthusiastic and happy about what I was doing. I started enjoying my technical subjects and attended my classes with more zeal. In short I was enjoying my student life.
I started studying as if there was no tomorrow. I studied with my heart and soul. I made an extra effort in the subjects I thought would bore me. I took extra classes, I interacted with meritorious students, kept away from negativity in all forms, exercised my will power to it’s limit, paid attention to myself and only all that which truly mattered. I was in my cocoon-studying, enjoying, and yes, dreaming of good things to come. My term ended, and it was ‘exam time’.
I do not remember the last time when I took my exams with such exemplary confidence. All my examiners were impressed by me in the practical exams. In fact, I scored the highest in all 3 of my practicals! That was something I thought only the ‘toppers’ achieved. But hey, here I was a topper, rediscovered!
My theory exams were so good! I mean I was actually beaming with happiness after my papers. I knew with each paper I submitted that, “Yes, I did well.” I did so well that I knew deep in my heart that I would get the marks I imagined, which was a whopping 70 percent!
Meanwhile my real marks had come out. And guess what, my marks had increased from 70 and 51 to 83 and 69 respectively. It was amazing!
But the best was yet to come. The results came out and I was elated. I had scored an unbelievable 71%! I was a class topper!
At the end of the year my aggregate was 73%.
But you know what, there are better things on their way. Can I believe it? I can.
To those out there who feel dejected and overwhelmed by their current circumstances, do not lose faith. It is one of the many things that makes the world go round and one of the things that will lead you where you want. Just have faith and give it some time.
I hope that by reading a part of my life story, someone can take heart and be able to believe and receive.
Good Luck!
