Made It Out Alive!
Submitted by: Aya B.
Orlando, FLI love nature and finding inner peace. I am very grateful for my family, friends, and faith. May God bless us all.
I got into the law of attraction about seven months back. I was in my sophomore year of college still trying to figure out what I wanted in life. I didn’t like that I was still living with my parents, still unemployed, and depressed. Growing up, I was raised Muslim-American and I disliked being under the limitations of religion and I believed the culture I was surrounded by was dysfunctional. Despite all this, my family is blessed with great money and has always supported me through everything I’ve done in my entire life. I took for granted what I had. I was upset my family had expectations of me to go to medical school. I was upset I didn’t have enough self-confidence as a woman, and I was upset about having to wear my hijab while every other girl was living her youth.
Finally, my summer semester came along and I decided to do some volunteering at a local clinic. I wanted to add up my experience in order to get a nice resume for a job. I was still in the mindset of being held back by my religion. As I was driving back from the clinic, I began speeding in the rain, having anxious thoughts about not getting a job and not making my own independence. My car hydroplaned, swerved all the way to the right lane, flipped in the air, and landed standing straight up next to a subdivision sign. My car was wrecked and the sign ruined, but I came out with just a few cuts and some bruises, nothing else. Everybody who came out to help thought it was a miracle.
All I can say is I am ten times more grateful than I was before to be alive. I believe God is watching out for me and whether there is an issue I can’t solve or not Allah and the Universe will take care of it. Alhamdulillah!
