Life’s Battle With Faith.
Submitted by: Mavie Escoto
PhilippinesOnly child, widowed, Mum died 2 years ago with a son and 2 dogs.
I grew up in a broken family. My Dad left when I was 6 years old and migrated to the USA with his second family. I grew up with my Mum and she raised me by herself while working her job being a dressmaker. I was lucky enough to finish college and because I had a longing for my father, I started to be a rebel. I eloped after my college graduation and then had a family of my own. I wasn’t able to go to Belgium with my foster parents, who had helped my Mum during my college with expenses. They were my sponsors for mostly everything I needed. As the years pass I was blessed with a boy. Five years ago my life my husband died while my son was just 14 years old at the time. Then 4 years later my Mum died. My Mum was the one who helped me a lot in taking care of my son.
What I am pointing out is I never had an easy life. I have been through a lot of pain, loss, hatred, grief and being used by other people. However, through it all I still looked at life as if there were going to be good things to come. One of the major factors in my feeling this way was that I found and read The Secret. I read The Secret Daily Stories and also the quotes that The Secret posts and I practice what I have read. I know that whatever I send out to the Universe will come back to me. So instead of grief, I shifted my mind and held the thought and belief that one day me and my son will have a great life.
Now, we do have a much better life! I am now working in Dubai with a great job to support my son back in my country and I am planning to get him here soon. It really is true, what you tell your mind comes back to you. Shift your gear to positive things. I know that it can be really hard to think positive thoughts when you lose something or someone so dear, or you are having a lot of grief or you are down and you feel like the world is about to fall. That is when I tell myself that this too shall pass. That is what I did and now I am slowly gaining back what I put into the Universe and I know there are so many more surprises to come. I am looking forward to it.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
