On the journey to find my soulmate soon, just like in fairytales. Currently getting my Master's degree and Ph.D soon!!! My ultimate goal in life is to be a writer. Life is Magical :)
First of all I want to thank Rhonda and her team for bringing out this beautiful book into the world and sharing it with millions of people. I wish one day it’ll reach billions of people. I’m sorry for writing a long story, but as it’s my first time here, I want to share the miracles that have come into my life after following The Secret,
I found The Secret in the January of 2014 when I was going through the worst break up of my entire life. I was browsing on the Internet and came across stories on this website. I’d seen the book before in the book stores and was intrigued by the cover but never took it up. I’d thought that it was a mystery novel. After reading many stories, I wanted to know more. I got the audio recording of the book. I started listening to it and suddenly, many of the situations, events, past decisions and past accidents all started making sense. Before this, as an Indian I was always spiritual. I believed in God as a being made of pure energy, granting us our wishes, fate and destiny. I always had a positive outlook towards life but I always expected negative outcomes in all events concerning my own life. I realized the break up was a result of me not having faith in my relationship. At that time I was an Indian girl, 29-30 years, unmarried facing a break-up. I was not even remotely interested in an arranged marriage. I had no prospects of marrying my love, I was in debt with only a measly paying part-time job. Life was totally messed up!
I so badly wanted my boyfriend to come back to me but I realized that I wouldn’t be happy if he came back. I would never want to force my wishes on anyone. I started focusing on healing my heart and the future of my life. I was trying to come to the USA for my PhD. I’d applied to several universities here, but nothing happened, all thanks to my negative mindset.
By this time I was slowly trying to understand The Secret. I started manifesting things like traffic conditions , seats on the bus, getting cabs from home early morning to seeing a specific brand of high-end car every single day on the roads. Then with confidence building I started to apply for my M.S in the USA. After the break-up this was the only motivating factor in my life.
I started thinking positively and every day I started acting like I was getting my application accepted by the end of the month. I marked my calendar that I would be in the USA by July 6th. I started telling my friends and family that I was going to the USA by July. I started making arrangements even before I got my application accepted. I knew in my heart this time that I would be getting accepted.
I was scared about the visa interview, as my friend had applied 5 times and got rejected every single time. I was scared but I had The secret and all of the people who shared their stories here on this website. Every day I kept on reading, having hope and faith, and kept smiling. The Secret became my way of life.
Then at the end of April I got my acceptance. The first week of May I quit my job but I would still work till the first week of June and my visa interview was scheduled for June 9th.. I started making arrangements, like packing up my apartment. But the biggest challenge was I still didn’t have any finances ready to sponsor my study. I had faith that the Universe would make a way. Until then nobody in my family had taken me seriously. Suddenly when my embassy appointment dates were confirmed they took me seriously. I tried convincing my mom to let me go to the USA as she had been against it. Everybody in my family wanted me to get married first and then go anywhere in the world I wanted to. I don’t know how but she changed her mind and said if I get the visa I can go. My parents even spoke to the bank and successfully arranged an education loan for my study here. Now my finances were getting taken care of. Everything was falling in place.
I had read a story here about a lady and her family who wanted to go to the USA and how they kept visualizing every step of the visa interview. I started doing the same. When the interview day and time came, I just kept smiling the whole time. I answered all the questions asked to me with a smile and confidence. At the end the interviewer took few minutes. I was waiting with faith. Then he said I was accepted. I was so shocked and thrilled! I thanked him twice and came back happily. My total interview time was less than 5 minutes and time I spent in embassy was just above 30 minutes. It was that quick.
Finally on July 3rd I landed in Los Angeles International Airport. When I was leaving Bangalore International Airport I didn’t even have any reservations for a place to stay in the USA. I was just going. Even though it was summer and the July 4th weekend, my sister managed to get me a motel reservation. She too started using the LOA. I arrived and was staying in a motel but wanted to find an accommodation and I visualized what I wanted at 1 pm. I moved in there by 5 pm.
Thank you for so patiently going through my post and experience. To everyone out there, have faith in what you want. Believe that what you want you are worthy of having and then act like it is already yours. Ask, Believe and Receive.
I feel I am so much closer to having my dream life, finding my perfect soulmate, a perfect job, getting my PhD and repaying my debts and becoming an author. I’ll keep writing as I achieve them.
Thank you Rhonda and team. You all changed my life’s course. I keep telling everyone I meet about The Secret. Joy to billions. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
