Mr. Right? Why not!

Sri LankaAn ordinary girl who's living an extraordinary life!
Today is a very significant day in my life and this is hugely the reason why I am here on this site and writing this message. But, let me first tell you the story, before telling you why.
In 2009, my colleagues and I found The Secret video and was quite excited by it all. So we all decided to try it out with one thing…. I wanted MONEY! But mostly because I wanted to ask for something that is measurable. No point in trying out a theory if it ain’t measurable, right?
So, that was my goal. But my office friend was so adamant that I should ask for my future husband. While I really did want to find my soul mate, admitting it to those around me was something I didn’t do. But my friend insisted that I do that, and found some lovely wedding couple pictures and asked me to have it on my desktop so that I see it everytime I switch on the PC. So, I did that.
Then I went home and decided to write what I wanted from my MR. RIGHT… I wrote about everything – from what kind of job he should have, to his qualities… even some which are not possible to have in one man!
After writing something in such detail, it felt like I’d created this person, although it was just imaginary. Now the most embarrassing part of the story, is every night I used to lay in bed and talk to my imaginary MR. Right as he was just next to me. In time he became so real in my mind. This was in August 2009.
October 2009, my sister decided to trick me into being introduced to a friend of hers, whom she’s been trying to hook me up with and I’ve been avoiding. But that day, 7th of Oct we met. I didn’t like him, just like that! I knew he wasn’t the one for sure. But he kept calling me and we became friends, and 5 months down the line, I was in love and we got engaged. 1 year later we were married.
Today, it’s exactly 1 year since that day!!! So, today is a significant day cos’ I’m celebrating our first year anniversary. One year after getting married, it amazes me that he has absolutely all of those qualities and features I wrote 2 years back in my diary! It’s rather scary to even share it with him, cos it looks like I’ve plotted and planned to get married to him, but the truth is, he was who I was looking for and I met him 2 months after I specifically decided that he was who I wanted to be with.
So, thanks for your wonderful video and most importantly for making it OK to dream again!
