Love, Faith And Gratitude

Submitted by: Brittany

Carlsbad, NM

i'm 22 and newly engaged to a wonderful man and mom to a beautiful daughter and were expecting another princess on the way!

My story starts in high school which is around the time The Secret became popular. I always saw it on the shelf at the store or heard about it here and there and was very intrigued but I never had the money back then to buy it.

Fast forward a few years to when I was 19. I was young and totally stupid in love with someone who didn’t deserve me or the beautiful baby girl we created. Needless to say he chose bad decisions and other girls over us and left. At that time I thought my world was ending, I was so lost and confused and I had no idea how I was going to raise a baby on my own. That’s when I finally got the movie. I must have watched it every day for months and months! I would even leave it playing while I fell asleep so I would hear it in my sleep. I’ve done the vision board, I even have folders saved in my computer of all the places I’d like to see and my dream house etc, etc. I could go on for days. I won’t lie, as much as I loved the idea, and I tried putting it into practice, I’ve been conditioned my whole life to believe that you CAN’T have everything you want. Things don’t just come easily. So it’s taken me along time getting that part out of my head. But slowly I started to see my life change. I wrote in a journal pretty regularly back then and on December 19, 2009 I bought The Power. I started making a list of how I wanted my life, the perfect man, the places we would go and how we would be married and expecting a new baby. I gave myself 2 years.

In the meantime I attracted a decent job for the time being (waiting tables, but I made pretty good money for what I was doing), I also moved out of my moms house into this really cute little 2 bdrm duplex for me and my little girl. I went from no car to an 04′ Dodge Durango which was practically given to me by my mom and step dad. Things were really starting to look up but I was still unhappy. I had a relationship that was ok but things just felt missing, and after that ended, I ended up in an even worse one and fell into a deep depression. That’s when I remembered The Secret and The Power. I put all of my heart and energy into it. I replaced all of my negative feelings of anger and hatred towards the guys who have done me wrong with love and forgiveness. I knew the guy I had been seeing was completely wrong for me but I also knew the only way to get over it and make my life better was not by hate and resentment. I just knew my baby and I deserved a better life.

Fast forward another 2 years from the time I wrote that journal entry (almost exactly) to December 10, 2011. That’s when I met him. I was still working at the restaurant and I just got to work and there he was sitting at a table filling out training paperwork. I was immediately drawn to him and at the time I had no idea its significance. We haven’t spent a day apart since then. Everything happened so fast but I knew he was the one for me and he feels the same way. Since the time we met we’ve gotten engaged and he plans on adopting my daughter when we get married. We are also expecting another little princess in November of this year. We moved out of that tiny apartment and we now have a beautiful 3 bedroom 2 bathroom house and wonderful jobs! We have so many dreams and plans for each other and luckily he believes in the secret too! We want to win the lottery and help as many people as we can. And we want to buy a zoo. It may sound silly but that is our ultimate dream together.

Anyway to conclude this novel haha I just want everyone to know this DOES WORK! Have faith in God and in your self. Dream BIG and as often as possible. We still have many things we are attracting to ourselves and have faith its on its way. Thank you Rhonda and the team for inspiring everyone everywhere to dream and achieve your deepest wishes. And thank you to everyone for your stories on here, I read them often and they keep me motivated!

Ask, Believe, Receive!!
God Bless!!
