Hello. I hope my story can inspire someone who may lose faith in The Secret. I received the book from a friend a couple years ago when things were really rough. I have always been a positive thinker and with that, I have always been successful in most areas of my life; except love.

I seemed to have a lifetime of a broken heart. I always gave 100% into any relationship I had, but I was always let down. Looking back, I’m sure it was the fear and negative thoughts, expecting the worse to happen that ultimately lead to the failure of my relationships. However, I also know now that it was because I wasn’t clear about what I wanted and I wasn’t with the right men.

After my last failed relationship, which broke me severely, I first asked the Universe to heal my broken heart. It took a few months of course, but I never wanted to be a victim of an abusive relationship, I wanted to heal and move on. So I did. Then I started dating, and I regained some confidence back. The positive energy I put out in the Universe really started working when I wrote down exactly what I wanted to accomplish by the end of the summer. I wanted enough money to make it through the summer, I did. I wanted to lose 25 pounds….I DID! I wanted to meet a man that can be a best friend, make me feel safe and happy and love me for who I am. I created a list of exactly what I wanted, down to the eye color and the fact that he has a dog. I set out an extra towel and toothbrush in my bathroom, cleared out space in my closet and would sleep on one side of my bed imagining my man sleeping on the other side. I met a few wrong guys along the way this summer, but I never felt defeated…I just believed that something good was coming my way, because I deserved it.

A month ago, I met him. He is perfect for me and I am perfect for him. I believe we attracted each other in a world of millions of people and broken hearts. I finally received the one thing in life I believed I couldn’t get because I stopped thinking I couldn’t and started believing I can, and I will and I deserve it. I know without a doubt that I will grow old with this man. Even if doubts creep into my head, which is bound to happen after all the heart break I have been through, I know in my soul that this time I found my true love. I enjoy the moments we have together and the amazing moments keep coming. He is the best friend I have been waiting for all my life and no longer do I doubt that I can’t have what I truly desire.

Believe you deserve the love of your life, because you do. Know that he/she is on the way. Don’t worry about “how” because the Universe will find a way anyway!! I didn’t expect to meet him where I did and neither did he. We know we care about each other very much because we are two good people who put good out there, so we are getting good in return.

Don’t give up, believe….because my friends, your life is what you make it.
