It was just days 5 days before the entrance exam of my Grad school. I hadn’t studied enough. I was having panic attacks.

What happened next is in a blurry version of my memory and let’s not get into that. I had given up to all that pressure and stopped studying for a while.

I had developed a habit of reading The Secret Stories every night. That night I read a story and it made me see how simple it was. I had already asked. I just needed to believe and let go.

So I started studying at my own pace. I was relaxing all the time instead of stressing. I didn’t worry about the result. I said to myself that I would prepare myself as good as I can in these few days without rushing to grasp the whole syllabus.

To motivate myself, I frequently visited the website of the university. I read all about the campus activities. Downloaded photos. I really, really felt that I was already a student of the university and I visualized myself doing all those activities, sitting in all those places. I even started picking majors. I felt that I was already accepted into the university and I picked International Business as my major.

I had completed 80% of the syllabus in two days without giving too much effort. The last two days were tricky. I started to doubt myself. Then I watched The Secret movie again. And it lifted my spirit up immensely. I felt happy, I felt proud, I felt confident.

I told myself that I had taken the best preparation I could. I would not study anymore and would just relax and believe in the universe. The exam went well. I was calm and confident the whole time. And the questions were set from just the topics I had covered.

Two days later the result was published.

I had scored 100 out of 120!

I was also given my desired major, International Business!!

This is the most competitive entrance exam in our country. 50,000 students sat for the exam but only 1000 got accepted. And I am one of the lucky few!

I am grateful to the universe for making my oldest dream come true. I had spent so many beautiful years around the campus that it had a special spot in my heart. It was my only true home. Today I have officially become a proud student of the University of Dhaka.

Believe and let go. It will manifest.
