Learning The Most Important Lesson.

Submitted by: Leigh

Cape Town, South Africa

23 year old with a great job, an incredible boyfriend and loving family. I am using my power every day to turn my life into an amazing journey.

Thank you Rhonda, thank you Universe, thank you that I am finally able to write my own story of success.

I started dating a perfect gentleman a few years back. He was just what I was looking for in a boyfriend. We got along so well and there was so much mutual respect for each other. We fell in love quickly. We built a really great life together and had a close group of friends. But last year was when things started falling apart. We had been together for close to 3 years now. That is a long time for us as a young couple. My boyfriend’s mother received bad news about her health early last year and this negatively affected my boyfriend. He began to hang out with a bad crowd. He always wanted to be out partying and anything else that would distract him from reality and he was slowly sucking me into this world too.

At this point I was doing anything I could to be with him, to have his attention. We began to fight constantly. I tried all that I could to hold the piece of our relationship together as I realized it was slowly deteriorating. I became very unhappy and our life together became boring and monotonous. I felt like I was the failure and the reason for all the fighting. Naturally we broke up a few times in that year. The final time we broke up in late September, I thought it would be like all the other times, however just a couple weeks after the break up, I found out from mutual friends that he had started seeing someone else. As you can imagine, I was devastated, broken even. It hurt. And all this just made me feel even more worthless. How could someone who said he loved me for close to three years just walk away so easily?? It made my insecurity even more prevalent. The next month was my darkest.

The day after his birthday in November, after seeing him celebrate with his new girlfriend, all too happily I might add, I made the decision to be happy too. I was so tired of crying myself to sleep while he was having a blast. This is when I remembered The Secret. I had read it years ago but it did not fully impact me until now when I needed it most. I started reading it with the intention of getting my ex back because I still loved him.

I read it and I watched the movie countless times. I started reading The Magic too and bought The Power book. Without realizing it, I had started to absolutely love myself again. The Secret taught me to heal myself rather than our broken relationship. And this was the greatest gift. I made lists of all the good things about my ex, our relationship and myself. All my negative feelings began to disappear. I made a vision board so now I had goals to work towards. I had a purpose. I was thankful every day, I was positive and loving to everyone.

One day in December I was ready to finally let my ex go. I threw out everything of his I owned. It felt like I had let go of something huge. On the same day, I started talking to a previous ex, my first real love. And now we are officially dating. And he is absolutely everything I had asked for. He has so much passion and drive for life. The Universe knew what was best for me.

Looking at my life now, I have a brand new job in a much better position. I have my boyfriend who spoils me and surprises me every day and I have made many more friendships. I am so much healthier, energetic and have been going on so many more adventures. I am continuing to live The Secret and am receiving so much each and every day. So thank you, thank you, thank you. The Secret turned my darkest time into a lesson I will cherish. I have the power to live the life I fully deserve.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you so much!
