One can only imagine how it feels when you get something back after 15 long years! And when that something is your self-esteem, well, I really don’t have the words to express it.

I used to be a very bright, favourite student of all my teachers, family members and relatives, in my school days. But then, as someone wrote in her story on this very forum, because of some really weird reasons, I started my downfall in academics. And with it, I also was losing myself esteem. My self confidence was blown away literally.

‌My class 12th results came out and it just burnt away whatever little bit of confidence I had preserved. ‌Then I began an a journey of fearfulness, of shyness and of being a very mediocre guy lasting almost 15 long years.

I did get admission to the college I always wished for asI had used The Secret very unknowingly back then. I was very hard working but still an average student because of the loss of my faith in my own abilities. I could see other students hardly studying but still getting way higher marks than me. I failed once then, which was a huge shock for my family, but not for me. I was trying to find my self confidence. I somehow graduated.

Then I came across ‘The Secret’ book around 2012 and I felt like I had found the answer. I started applying it for small things and got some very amazing results but I could not apply it for the post graduate course I wanted to get into. I tried for 4 years. When my friends from school and college had already started earning, I had nothing in my account. I somehow got into a course that I had not wished for, but it was still a good one. I completed it and appeared for the exam, which I failed. Meanwhile I got married to a girl who had all the characteristics I had wished for. That was the second time I had used The Secret, knowingly this time!

‌I had to reappear for the exam that I had failed. Then came the ‘turning point’ in my life. I had saved on my mobile phone, some of the stories from this website. One of them turned out to be a guide for me, it gave me the feeling of having ‘rediscovered’ myself. I started to have faith in my abilities again, slowly but surely.
‌

The exams went well but I was not confident of some of the papers that I had rewrote in my mind, inspired from some Secret stories here! There was a small twist waiting round the corner when I rewrote the exam. When I got my exam result, it was not the one I had wished for. After the initial phase of confusion and a slight panic, I decided to apply the knowledge of the ‘law of love’ for the biggest thing yet, to pass this very important exam.

I put in the papers for re-evaluation and I passed, which is very rare! Through this period I came to know how much I loved and how much I wished to be a pediatrician. How much I wanted to have that degree in with my name. This period guided me towards my goal. For that, I can not thank this post exam phase more.

‌Thank you Shree Swami Samarth. Thank you my best friend, Genie! I can not thank my family and Rhonda more. I don’t have the words. I thank all those 15 years that made me who I am today and led me to the best life. And thank you so much  to the person who wrote that story that inspired me here on The Secret story site. ‌Ask. Believe. Receive.
‌
Thank you all. My life was never so easy or so beautiful before! ‌Thank you to all. Best wishes to all of you.
