My Awakening.
Submitted by: Dahlia
London, UKIn my best years, very lucky to have a wonderful family and career.
I wanted to thank everyone who has shared their stories so far; they keep me positive during times when I need it the most. I look forward to my morning coffee and commute, eager to read the new releases each day on The Secret Super App!
The past two years have been difficult for me due to anxiety and depression. I stumbled upon The Secret by chance, and since November 2024, I have been practicing its principles. I now have an entire collection of books—some in hardcover, others in audiobook format, or both!
The Magic was particularly instrumental in helping me overcome my depression and start enjoying life with my small daughter and partner. Two years ago, I suffered from postnatal depression and possibly PTSD after a very traumatic labor. Although I managed to pretend everything was fine and took care of my daughter and household duties, I felt dead inside. I constantly worried that something terrible would happen to my baby, especially since she almost didn’t survive the labor. I struggled to sleep and couldn’t genuinely enjoy special moments with my daughter, things I used to love, or even returning to my job a year later, which I had adored before my maternity leave. Everything felt overwhelmingly exhausting, and I made endless excuses to stay home.
When I read about gratitude, it was a huge revelation. I realized I had so much to be thankful for that I had been taking for granted. I practice gratitude by listing ten things each morning, even now that I’ve finished the book a few times. I often revisit individual practices.
Since then, so many positive changes have occurred: my relationships have improved dramatically, we are a happy family, and I have an incredible amount of energy to play with my daughter. My house stays clean, I’ve started cooking again, and I have even returned to baking—all while keeping up with my corporate career! This newfound energy and happiness are my greatest gifts.
I’ve experienced some surprising blessings as well. I got headhunted for a new job that offered a salary greater than I ever imagined. After just a few months, my manager gave me a double bonus because they felt I had made a great start. This new job is less demanding and provides plenty of flexibility for work-life balance! I have an amazing team and a supportive manager.
Sometimes, I find that my wishes manifest effortlessly. For example, one evening I thought it would be nice to have chocolate at home, and shortly after, my partner walked in with exquisite Belgian handmade chocolates he received from a customer. I often ask the train to stop at the platform closest to the station entrance to collect my daughter from nursery more quickly, and it happens. On occasions where I’ve requested grocery delivery to come earlier, the driver has called to let me know they are ahead of schedule. At times, it seems like I have extra time to complete my tasks or arrive earlier than expected.
The Power is a book I listen to whenever I need a boost for my emotions and vibrations, and it has greatly helped me. The Greatest Secret was a true awakening for me. While I have never feared death, having always believed in reincarnation, I was lost when it came to finding my purpose. This book provided me with the answers I needed.
Now, I feel at peace, blessed, lucky, and grateful for everything! There are still a few things that can unnerve me, so I am continuing my journey. I am working on manifesting my Magic Check and dream home, but I realize I may be trying too hard and simply need to let go.
Rhonda, thank you sincerely for changing my life and making the principles of The Secret accessible and easy to practice! Sending lots of love and magic to everyone!
