Thank you, thank you, thank you so much to Rhonda and The Secret team for sharing this wisdom with the world. I discovered this book, The Secret, and then The Power a few years ago and believe with every fiber of my being that miracles can happen if you just trust and have faith in the Universe.

My story begins with a beautiful romance that started in South America. I met my soulmate there, and our journey was never easy from the beginning because we were from two different continents. We stayed together for a little over a year, having a long-distance relationship, and I felt like my insides were being ripped out on certain days because his absence felt so hard to bear. I finally arranged everything to move to Brazil so we could finally be together. I was in search of a new life, and everything fell into place when I made my decision to move.

The beginning was incredible; there would be days when I could not believe that I was finally living there and we finally had the chance to be together. However, with time, the pressure of the relationship started to take its toll on both of us. My boyfriend started to feel like he was responsible for my happiness because I was so alone when I first arrived and, in a sense, lost all the independence I had in my home country. The relationship got so bad that he became cold with me and simply was not hearing my words of how unhappy I was that he was not acting like the same guy that I initially met. Initially, I could not believe that it seemed like all that we had fought for felt like it was in vain, and I just felt like he had lost all respect and love for me. That was when I remembered The Secret and that my underlying thoughts of unhappiness and negativity had brought all these problems to the forefront.

Eventually I blocked him so that he could no longer contact me in any way because I just felt like I no longer wanted to appear desperate to him. Deep down, though, I knew that we would have a future together, but if I were to continue the way we were, that future would never happen. Days went by, and I did not hear from him. Instead of waiting for him to come back to me I decided to be grateful for all the great opportunities I was given to live in this amazing city. I started filling up my social calendar and spending time with new friends. I would go to the gym to take care of myself and think about the future vacations at the beach I was going to go on. Most importantly, I just let it go and focused on making myself happy and being grateful for already accomplishing a part of my dream to learn a new language and a new culture.

One night, I heard a knock on my door, and there he was with flowers and a sweet look on his face, saying that he wanted to come back to me sooner but felt that I would not answer because I may have still been upset. He told me that during this time that we had been apart, it was agonizing to feel my absence, and all he could do was think about me and how to make things right. He apologized for letting the pressure get to him and forgetting why we fought so hard to be together. He told me he wants nothing more than to work on our relationship so this never happens again. He told me how I was the one and that he couldn’t imagine his life without me and wanted to make sure that I never got away again. The craziest part of all is that I imagined that things would happen this way, and I truly knew that it was only a matter of time.

We are now back together, with better communication, enjoying everything the city has to offer, and feeling grateful that we have each other.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Thank you so very much to the Universe.

Do not give up on your dreams, for all of you out there who truly believe. Your faith will deliver what you desire, but the most important thing is to have full trust, let it go, and be happy in the meantime.

Love you all, and have faith.
