I have always been someone who has gotten everything that I have ever truly wanted. I am simple but ambitious. When it comes to work, I run my own business and I have worked with each and every client I had ever desired to work with, including some very famous celebrities and luxury brands. However, when it came to love, I felt completely hopeless.

I did not realize that I had this strong power to attract what I wanted intentionally until I had read The Secret. Although it was simple, my mind somehow managed to complicate it and I got stuck in this loop of trying to manifest this person back into my life. Suddenly everything came to a standstill, and I lost my motivation for life, and for work. My followers on social media started decreasing and I was just not present, even though I was always around. I started sleeping more and doubting the same instinct that had initially brought me so much success.

I realized that life and time were slowly slipping away from my hands because I placed all my life’s worth and purpose on wanting this person back so much so that I used to spend hours and hours watching “how to get him back” videos, only to feel miserable. I couldn’t really focus on any techniques because I had this strong belief that things would not work out for me no matter how hard I tried. And I tried too hard to perfect the techniques without actually doing any of them. With each passing day, I felt like I was losing the grip on my mind and I was not only unproductive but also throwing away my precious time.

I do not know if giving up is the key to getting what I wanted or not. At this point, I truly just hope to feel at ease and I know when Rhonda says, “Letting go is key”, she is right. Letting go is not giving up. I have come to realize that I can’t control the outcome, I can only hope for the best but the journey is more important than the destination. I am 28 and all my friends are getting married, I thought I had found someone who truly was the one, and somewhere in my heart I still do think he is the one, but I am not going to hope any longer. My life and my time are important. I am the most important person in my life. I would not call this a success story but if anyone like me is struggling hard to “make something happen” and it is causing more worry than happiness, then maybe it is time to surrender and let god, a higher power, or the Universe take control. I am positive that the Universe will only bless us with what is truly meant to serve the highest good. Remember, there is light at the end of the tunnel and it is not the end if it did not end right.

As for all of you incredible humans who have posted your success stories here and continue to post them, thank you. If it were not for The Secret, all of you, and of course, Rhonda, I would have never been as aware. The Secret has truly changed my life and I only have gratitude in my heart for The Secret.

As I am moving forward to post this story, I am letting go of the illusion that life has to be perfect. That I have to be married before 30. That I am not deserving of a good life and that bad things happen to me because I am unlucky. I am letting go of all of these thoughts that no longer serve me well, because I know, in the deepest, deepest, deepest part of my heart that everything is going to be A-OK.

Love,
M
