My Story Of Gratitude.
Submitted by: Sonololi
Dominican RepublicI am a 24 year old kid, learning to love myself and this beautiful life God gave us.
I want to start my story by saying gracias, gracias, gracias to Rhonda Byrne and the whole team of The Secret for sharing all this knowledge about the LOA and gratitude. Thank you God for bringing these books into my life, The Secret, The Power and The Magic as well as all the other miracles.
I’ve been practicing the LOA since I knew about The Secret 9 years ago but I had my doubts. Then in 2012 I fell into a depression. I recovered a year later but I was continuously having my episodes. In 2015 I had my first boyfriend. I was so grateful and excited, not because I had a boyfriend but for the person he was. We were so in love and connected. But then I started having insecurities about him. I was expecting too much from him and I was not being grateful. We fought a minimum of once a week for a year and ten months. I went to the psychologist because I knew there was something I needed to fix in me, not just because of my relationship with my boyfriend but with my family, friends and with myself.
Long story short, we broke up on April 2nd of 2017. I was devastated but I knew that the breakup was necessary. I started reading books to boost my self esteem. I also started spending more time with my family and friends and enjoying the little and big pleasures of life. I cried a lot because I wanted my boyfriend back but I realized that crying and feeling bad about what I missed wouldn’t bring him back, and worse, wouldn’t make me keep going on in life. I wish I could tell you every detail about all this process but I do not want to get into the negative stuff.
Everything changed when I bought The Magic. I started practicing gratitude for everything I had. And that was how I realized what I needed to do to get my boyfriend back and also for any desire in my life.
I told God that I wanted my boyfriend to ask me to go back with him before July 16th, 2017. I asked God for a sign that my wish would come true. I wanted to see a lion. And guess what? I started to see lions where ever I went. The lion from the Peugeot car, in a movie, on instagram, in songs, everywhere! I was anxious because I couldn’t believe it but I decided to calm down and let the Universe do its job. When the date was getting closer I asked for another sign, yellow cars. And yes, yellow cars started to appear out of nowhere. It was unbelievable but I decided to enjoy those signs and have faith.
Well people, nothing happened by July 16th so I decided I really needed to let go and let my life just flow. One month later, we started to talk again ‘‘as friends’’. I was afraid but I had faith and let things flow without losing my mind. It didn’t work out.
Weeks later he called me and invited me to the movies and I accepted. We went to the movies, then to a beer bar and then to a club. In the club we started dancing and he tried to kiss me but I didn’t let him. He stole a kiss from me instead. I asked him why he did that and he said because he felt like doing that. Then we had a conversation about it and everything about our relationship. We decided we were going to give it a real and honest try.
Sadly, one month later things didn’t work out. I still love him but he has a chip in his head that everything will be as before, the fights, bad feelings, etc. I do believe in LOA and sometimes God and the Universe have a bigger and better gift for you than the one you were asking for. I don’t know what is going to happen between us but I will focus my good energy in attracting other things.
Keep being grateful for everything you have in your life, declare everything in Divine Order. Thank you.
