Letting Go Is Key.
Submitted by: Ann
Los Ángeles, CAI am working on being the best person I can be so that others can be blessed.
I am so thankful for The Secret and for the stories on this site. A special romantic relationship ended when the woman that ghosted my boyfriend came back into his life. He was still in love with her and needed closure. He spoke to her one day and saw her the next. He came to me frantic to tell me that he had kissed her, and wanted me to know because he felt really bad.
We talked through it and moved on. I began to notice that his mind was on her a lot, so we agreed to take a step back from each other so he could process his emotions. Even though we weren’t together, we were in a state of “limbo” where we saw and still had feelings for each other, but things were not the same. He finally decided that we couldn’t see each other anymore because she was back in his life. I was devastated but continued our friendship because I wanted him in my life, even if he was not my boyfriend.
Eventually I started to realize that my feelings for him would not allow us to be friends. I was always on this emotional rollercoaster, constantly thinking about him, wanting to get back together. My emotions would range from elation when I talked to or saw him, to intense depression when I didn’t.
I was desperate to get him back. I read The Secret years prior, and recently started seeing posts about it on Instagram. I read it again and believed that I could manifest him back into my life. I started visualizing us together, thinking positively, and giving thanks for everything. I started affirming myself and recognized that true happiness lies in me. I would check in with him periodically, but found that his feelings hadn’t changed. He told me in more ways than one that we would never get back together because she is so much in his head.
An incident took place between the two of us that upset me, and I decided that it was time for me to let him go. I read tons of stories on this site that talked about letting go as being the key to manifesting what you want. I still love and miss him, and feel like I’m doing all the right things, except I continued to obsess over us getting back together.
Within two days of deciding to let go, I was sitting in a restaurant catching up on some work. I had a fleeting, random thought about him walking in. I visualized what would happen when I saw him. This all took place within 5 seconds. Then I smiled and let it go. I’ve never run into him in the community where we live, so the thought went away as quickly as it came. I continued to work, and right before I was leaving, he walked in!
All I could do was laugh. I had asked the Universe for signs that he was meant for me in the past and have always gotten them. This was just more validation.
The LOA is real! Don’t ever get discouraged thinking it doesn’t work. It is a universal law and takes lots of practice, but you must have faith. It’s really important to pay attention to your thoughts. I believe the LOA initially gave me what I wanted. I was so afraid of losing him and the Universe gave me just that, loss. Now I’m working on only thinking about the positive in all aspects of my life and staying focused on my life. For me the hardest part was letting go. I just didn’t know how. Conceive, believe, let go and receive.
I’m thankful for having the opportunity to share my experiences with others. I know my words will help individuals who are experiencing similar circumstances.
