I moved to Canada a year ago and realised public transport was not very convenient and affordable for me. I had to start driving. My husband learnt and got a license in 4 months. But I was terrified with the entire process and thought I don’t know if I will make it.

Finally I decided to take lessons and give it a start. I have been off and on since almost 8 months and all my trainer told me was that I can’t drive. I was fed up, frustrated and wondered why I couldn’t do it when I did everything else so well – managing the house, being an excellent worker at office and all. Though I knew driving, I was very nervous for some reason which I didn’t know. I still booked my test as my husband insisted.

One week before my test, I went for a session with my trainer and he told me I WILL NOT pass the test. That day I came home and read The Secret. I had read it several times before but it took some time for the content to sink in. This time when I read, all I could think of was to put it to practice and I did it. I made a vision board in an excel sheet and wrote that I passed my test and mentioned all the details like location, the time, the date. One day before the test, I took a paper and drew the way my license would look once I passed.

On the day of the test, I was driving to the test center and again he told me that we could go back home because at the end of the day he doesn’t want me to kill anyone or have a heart attack myself. At that time I heard what he said but just let it pass by me. All I remembered is my husbands words – ” I know YOU can do it,” and my 5 year old’s words – ” You just concentrate mom and you will be fine.” The encouraging words of all my friends and finally I told myself – I AM GOING TO PASS TODAY.

And yes I passed with a 81 % which I am proud of. I am very very thankful to everyone in the universe for giving me this opportunity to experience this. I feel so confident and feel in control of things. I always try and tell myself the words where there is stress there is doubt. So it is important to first tackle that and everything you want is yours. Thanks to everyone in this universe. Every bit of me is thankful and will always be.
