The perfect man came into my life at the perfect time. I know he was brought to me because of my deep feelings of gratitude and positivity and my personal, spiritual growth at that time. I had lost a relationship shortly before, and returned to the principles of The Secret at many times while I felt desperate and sad. That feeling of being lost encouraged me to really learn The Secret and apply it to the fullest I could in my life. I made list upon list of things I was grateful for and things that I loved, I went around encouraging people and doing my best to lift others up, and writing in my journal affirmations that lifted me up and helped me to believe in myself and the power again.

Then this wonderful man came into my life and was more than I could ever have imagined. I had written a list of the qualities I wanted in my partner, but he was even better. He was the man I had been asking for. His commitment and love astounded me.

But after some time, I fell into fearful thoughts, thoughts of worry and lack, and our relationship started to fall apart. I saw the insecurities I still had about myself and about life in general manifesting in his behavior. It was dreadful. I knew I had to do something to lift my spirits. I realized I had forgotten about the amazing power within myself that had brought me this great person and relationship in the first place.

Through the time we spent apart, though it was challenging, I made dozens of lists of things I loved about myself, things I loved about him, the things I hoped we’d do together. I thought about great memories we had and making more. I respected what he asked for, and didn’t contact him. Most of all, I didn’t allow, for the most part, feelings of lacking the relationship and of worry that it wouldn’t work out to bring me down. I simply made myself strong enough to have faith that it would.

And in a very short, though at times very painful time, our relationship started anew and it is stronger than ever! Everything I had wanted is now present in him and in our relationship. I live everyday trusting that there is nothing to worry about. I am in love and thrilled about the beautiful ways everything turns out! Never give up, just remember to love and have faith!
