I Mapped Out My Life!
Submitted by: Marika aj
EnglandI'm a mum, sister, daughter prone to some negative thoughts and always needing a little help to banish them.
I bought the book The Secret in 2008. At that time I was a little lost and I’d heard people at work talking about it, so I thought ‘I’ve got nothing to lose. I had ideas of what I wanted in life and one of them was to have a relationship with an older man who would give me a feeling of security and also worked in the same company as me. After visualizing this day in day out I met a wonderful man, older, down to earth, financially secure and we were very happy.
I forgot about The Secret and carried on with life, not visualizing and letting negative thoughts creep in. After a year together I discovered I was pregnant and it was a huge shock and something neither of us wanted. The man I loved made it clear he did not want the baby and I was heart broken and in complete despair, I’d never felt so frightened.
Desperate for something to cling to I remembered The Secret book I’d bought and found it in a box in a spare room. During awful morning sickness I began to read it and make lists of what outcome I wanted. I wanted my partner to stay by me, for us to become closer, for him to be protective over me and the baby. I also wrote down small things like, I will have a baby girl with dark hair as I had always wanted dark hair myself. I hid the list and vowed that if I got what I asked, I would one day submit my story.
After nine long months I gave birth via c section with my partner beside me looking reluctant. The first thing the surgeon said was look at her hair!!!!
Me: What color is it? Remembering my list.
Surgeon: Dark and so much!
From then on everything fell in to place, my visualizations and lists became reality and my partner is everything I wished for! And I am thankful that The Secret gave me the confidence and faith to know everything would be OK.
However my baby girl now has blond hair!
