If In Doubt, Read This!

Submitted by: Annette

Gold Coast Australia

My magical life transformed by the absolute power of knowing The Secret.

Thank you to each person who reads our stories and each person who shares their story. Sharing your success and tips is a huge part of success for others, so thank you, everyone. Hugs and heartfelt love go to Rhonda, as my life has been transformed in all areas.

I want to share something that happened today. Having said that, let me also say that something good happens every single day in my magical, wonderful life. Each day, I have reasons to be grateful, and my eyes always fill with tears of happiness and humble gratitude. I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth,  far from it,  but that is how I feel now, and have for many years.

A few months ago, I fell ill, which I now realize was a result of my growing frustration with the slow and difficult aspects of my life. I reached a point where I had to ask a relative for financial help, and I despised having to do so. I was overwhelmed with guilt and felt like I was at the end of my rope. Even though I tried praying, saying affirmations, and staying positive, I still struggled with inner turmoil. This all took a toll on my health, and at one point, I feared that I might not see another summer.

Each day I would come here to this site and read and absorb all the stories of people just like me. I still hadn’t realized that I harbored resentment towards a situation that kept nagging at me. Despite experiencing countless successes and feeling blessed to be surrounded by happy people, I was unable to repay a generous relative. It’s worth noting that he didn’t actually mind, as he was financially well-off. However, I couldn’t comprehend why, despite all my efforts, I couldn’t muster the money to repay him. This caused me further distress.

Then it hit me like someone had dropped a building brick on my toe. Suddenly, I found a giggle inside of me that rolled out with tears in my eyes and into laughter. A smile returned to my eyes. I know this because I noticed, as I told myself in the mirror every day how much I love you, that I saw sadness in my eyes. My eyes were not shining. I had been very sick, but now the sparkle of happiness was gone.

I decided to declare and believe and expect the money to be there! For another two weeks, I put this out there. I spent hours on this site, filling my soul with success stories, and imagined myself feeling that way too. This week, I declared that today, being the end of the week is the day my ability to repay that loan would be here. Last week there was no way this could happen, but I believed, I had asked, and I believed that I deserved it. I expected it to happen. No ifs or buts! I believed with unquestionable faith that it would be so. I had wanted the whole amount of the loan to be paid off, even though a bit here and there would be better than nothing. I believed I deserved to be in a position to return the money with as much respect as it had been given me.

This morning, I transferred the entire amount into my relative’s account! This week, we unexpectedly received extra money. While it would have been easy to just make partial loan payments and continue that way, that is not what I had committed to doing. Surprisingly, without me telling him about my commitment, my husband suggested this morning that we should just pay back the loan in full now.

He felt it would be better because last week I let the resentment go. I had blessed this loan and thought of all the good things it had done for us and how grateful we all had been for this help. Tears rolled down my happy face this morning when I looked into my eyes in the mirror and said I love you!

I then remembered that I had declared it, and I had let it go. So I asked, believed, had unquestionable faith in receiving, and then let it go knowing it would be taken care of. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

So I had to sit down right now and share this with all of you out there, my other family of secret people. To some of you who might be struggling today and need someone to say, “Hey, hang in there, keep reading, keep focused, keep your unquestionable faith, and it will show up.”

You know, I didn’t really know that my resentment of not being able to pay that money back was connected to its not being available. Somehow, I just could not feel happy about it. But when I appreciated what it had done for us and focused on that, well, that made all the difference. My vibration changed.

I hope my little magic story this morning helps someone take a good look at negative thinking and to look deeply at what little attitude they might have that might be hidden and could be holding them back as it did to me.

May each person reading this feel fantastic, feel joy, be healthy, and have smiles that won’t go away, just like me. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Thank you to all. May you always be blessed in Divine love.

PS  I am very healthy now. oxoxxo
