I have always been extremely anxious and paranoid about everything in life. I have grown up living to reach up to the expectations of my parents and family. So I had a tough time giving my class 12 board exams. I was constantly cribbing about the education system, bad teachers, and was terrified sick of people asking how the studies were going. All this had led to my skin becoming covered with acne and I began suffering from serious stomach aches. No medicine made the pain go away, providing only temporary relief. Somehow, I gave the exams.
Then I read and watched The Secret. Initially it seemed like a big task and I kept postponing it. But three weeks before my exam results were out I was a nervous wreck and decided to start trying it just to preoccupy myself. So every day before going to sleep I would say thanks in my bed for everything in life and would tell the universe that I was going to top the CBSE exams. The thought was a little bewildering since topping a nation with 75 lakh students is no simple task, but it would always make me smile.
After a week or so, somehow the thought began settling in. It didn’t seem so strange somehow! I would imagine my family rejoicing after seeing my scores. I would imagine the sweets and phone calls pouring in. They were nice thoughts and put me at ease.
The result day I was highly nervous, but somewhere inside me, my gut feeling said everything would be good. The results put a smile on my face. I had got a 95%, so I hadn’t topped (I couldn’t totally picture this to be honest) the country, but had topped my school and was in the top 10% bracket, so it was cool. 🙂
The Power has added to my knowledge. The Tipping Point is a brilliant concept and something that I am consciously trying to do every day now. Way to go RHONDA and the entire team of The Secret and The Power.
Awesomeness all around. 🙂
