Life Itself Is A Miracle.
Submitted by: Nandita Puri
Bangalore, IndiaI am slowly discovering myself and with every passing second, I found myself to be so amazing!
I am an Indian and one characteristic of an Indian upbringing is inclusion of spirituality right from your childhood. As kids, we are told that there is someone out there who listens to our prayers. But as we grow older, we question the logic behind those beliefs and often end up doubting that infinite source of power and magic. Same happened to me. I used to be a bright kid, hardworking, considered very talented and everything, but somehow, I would always end up settling with mediocre things in life.
Amazingly, I learned to make peace with those options. Gradually, I accepted that life wants you to give your best and in return provides you mediocre outcomes. I found the world to be a very unfair place and God to be very unfair to people.
The more I found them to be unfair, the more I witnessed things going against me.
By the time I was aged 20, I was a walking ball of anger, frustration, ego, and negativity. I got to meet some really wonderful people in life and somehow I lost them at critical points. Despite being an exceptionally well student, I ended up at a completely hopeless and less-than-average-paying job. I used to wonder why life offers menial things to me, only. Why other people are so lucky? I got married to a wonderful person and sadly after 2.5 years of my marriage and with an 18-month old baby, I had to leave his house after extreme mental and physical torture.
When I came home after losing everything I had, jobless, bruised, battered, with a small baby in my arms, I was a living example of a devastated person. And the only thing that was going inside my head was “Why dear god, why? Why does everything in my life has to be out of place when I am trying so, so hard to keep them on track”?
And this is when, He answered! One of my father’s friends, who also works as a counselor, gave me The Secret! Despite my unwillingness, he offered to read me the first few pages and that was enough to hook me to the book! He also advised me to go through the success stories posted on The Secret website! That was eight months ago.
As I read through the book and The Secret website, I realized how I have been attracting menial things to myself all my life. That was a huge revelation. I was not able to accept this and it took me months to own the consequences of my life and forgive myself. I also felt that what my husband did to me had a lot to do with my own thoughts, hence, while everybody in the family asked us to file a domestic violence case against him, I decided to go otherwise. I started blessing him every day and prayed that we both get peace in our lives.
Also, being jobless was becoming a problem, but with a baby I was in no situation to go outside and work. So, I started praying for some meaningful work-from-home opportunity. Out of the blue, two people contacted me from different cities and offered me full time jobs in their organization. When I explained to them about my problem, they readily offered me work from home. So now, I did not have just one, but two jobs that were both work-from-home, with no obligation to ever visit the office.
I also decided to make a vision board for myself and decided to earn Rs. 3,20,000 in the last two quarters of that financial year and pasted it right in front of my desk. I got busy with my two jobs, baby, and home. After two quarters were over, I was counting my earnings for taxation purpose and was totally amused to find that the earning has been of Rs. 3,46,080. I was overjoyed!
Compared to my life, eight months back, I had a million reasons to keep thanking God. I made “Thank you” my daily mantra! Whenever I was not talking, I was saying Thank you, Thank you, inside my head.
Then, I felt that my daughter has grown close enough to stay with my mother and so I decided to attract the right job. I wrote down all the specifications for the job in a paper and resumed my Thank you routine. To my amusement, in about two months, I joined my dream company, which is also the fourth largest company in the world in my sector, at my preferred location, designation and package.
Today, when I am writing this, I do not have enough words to thank God for his blessings. Law of attraction has changed me as a human. I like myself more, my surroundings are automatically cleaner, uncluttered, and serene. In a very amazing fashion, wonderful people cross my path and they have just the thing to give me, which I need at that point in time: advice, lift, chocolate, book, coffee, etc.
I feel so close to myself now, as if life itself has become a companion to me. I look at people and wonder how might we two be connected? I imagine wonderful things and feel overwhelmed at the ways God sends them to me. Life has never been so good.
Thank you Rhonda, I do not have enough words to thank you dear. Millions of people in this world are learning to “live” with the words you wrote. What a service to mankind. Though I later read more books about LOA, but somehow The Secret is the most special, my first pal in this new life.
Thank you so much!
