I have always believed that there are no coincidences in life. Everything happens for a reason and if we are meant to have something in life we can get it only by sending it love and if it does not turn up then something much better than what we imagine is around the corner. I would like to share two incidents where the Universe has been very kind to let us attain our dreams. I am a huge fan of THE SECRET and have been following it’s rules throughout my life, though I didn’t know it then. Thanks a lot Rhonda for reinstating our faith in Universe.

My stories are about my daughter’s achievements. When she was about 11 years old, she wanted a HandyCam very badly. I had told her in brief about THE SECRET and had even watched the movie with her. So I told her to visualize it and trust that the Universe shall deliver it to her. She did not ask anymore about it. I had forgotten about it in due course of time. About 2 weeks later, my husband’s close friend was travelling to USA. He asked him if he wanted something from there. My husband refused. When he came back after 15 days, he had a small gift box which he told us to hand over to our daughter. When she opened it, we cried in happiness as it was a HandyCam which she wanted so badly and this was when we had not even spoken to this friend about what she had wanted so badly. My daughter accepted this gift with joy and without a doubt that it was the Universe who had sent it to her. The faith of a child is wonderful.

The second incident happened just 3 months back. She is now 17 1/2 and wanted to buy a hair straightener. We had been to the mall. At that point in time, we were not in a position to buy such an expensive item. I did not want to disillusion her but told her we would go and see it’s cost, the model etc. In my heart, I was praying for a way out which would not hurt her. And, amazingly, not a single shop had a straightener on sale that day. I thanked God in my heart. She was very upset so I reminded her about the previous incident of the HandyCam and told her if she wants it then she should tell the Universe and then let it go with faith. She agreed. The next day, I had a random thought, which now I know was a sign from the Universe, to check the points we had gathered on the Credit Card online. I told my husband and together we checked it out. We had never ever cashed in our points and what a miracle! Our Credit card had crossed the maximum points and we could exchange them for a straightener from Braun. I got goosebumps. I called my daughter and showed her. She saw the model and it’s functions and said that though it was not what she wanted, it was better than nothing, so we put in an order for the straightener. They replied saying it would take a minimum of 15 days for delivery. After 3 days, my daughter called me up at the office with the exciting news that she has received the courier of the hair straightener and they have apologized that since they did not have the model shown on their site, they had sent us the latest model and it was awesome! I was floored. The Universe gave her what she wanted and more than what she had imagined only based on her trust and letting go.

These achievements have made our family happy but what gave me pure bliss was that they have reaffirmed our belief that the Universe gives us what we want and more, as long as we have a 100% trust that it knows what is best for us. I told my daughter that she has to pass on this belief to her children and they to their children and so on, to show them that Universe never fails.

Lots of love to all of you and I hope that my story helps who ever reads it fall in love with the Universe and its unpredictable ways.
