Finally Experiencing Happiness And Hope
Submitted by: Monique T.
Western Pennsylvania, U.S.AI am a 40 year old mom of 3, I work in education with special needs children, and have been married 15 years. . My marriage and personal happiness have suffered greatly. The Secret really is working, I am so pleased.
I had seen The Secret video a few years ago and it sounded pretty neat. My life has become so stressed, unhappy, I have felt terrible self-pity and sadness. I have always seemed stuck in a horrible cycle of misery when there is nothing for me to be miserable about. I have felt anxiety when I didn’t know what for. I have felt unbearable anxiety and hopelessness based on small things that grew inside of me. I have wished I could be a well-adjusted and happy person for so long.
My husband and I decided since I had been on my medication for years (he never saw a difference in me anyway) and it was causing side effects and was just too darn expensive that I would wean off of it. I did this summer. It was hard at first, but luckily I got through it and I believe I am coming back to life.
However, I still have issues and have tried to “think positive” and research self-help ways to better myself and deal with my problems. I found a copy of The Secret at the library a few weeks ago and decided to get it. I read it and since then I have been truly amazed at how much it has helped me! I have read about this person and that person experiencing life – changing, mind – altering points due to this book and its applications, but I had only wished I would know what that was.
I have to tell you readers that it is absolutely true! All the good things I have read, the change in me just “feels” so great! I have always had a hard time really feeling joy, in fact feeling the opposite to the point where I just look miserable.
I actually was looking through the stories here on anxiety when one line in one story did it for me. I have to thank this person so very much for sharing their story!! I had begun to ask and try to apply the Secret, but was still feeling blue. The sentence read, “I want to feel happy with my life.” I had never thought of this simplicity. A few minutes later I felt a wonderful wave of happiness and tenderness all through me. I know it sounds like something you may hear a fanatic say and you’re like , “yeah, ok, a little out there, huh?” but I am completely serious. I “felt” so happy and I knew, really knew the Universe had heard me and did respond, immediately.
As if this wasn’t enough, I have found words in the newspaper that seem to apply to what I have asked for and I just love it. It is like personal encouragement coming to me saying,”Don’t give up, I’m right here, your wishes are coming, it’s ok”
Having been so negative for so long, I find doubt creeping in and I tell myself “reject it” right away. I may even have a day, or part of a day when I feel down, but then I will keep wishing and telling myself the good coming, and what do you know, I find the encouragement in the paper (usually the comics!) I need and the good feeling returns! It returns! It is so awesome. If I can experience this hope and happiness, then anyone can. I encourage all of you.
