Myself
Submitted by: Tsholofelo
South AfricaI am a young lady in my late twenties, working for government in the department of finance. I am working as assistant state accountant. I have one daughter and one sister. I come from a small family. It's my mom, my sister and myself. My mother never got married. Still studying towards my degree in Management Accounting.
I am happy I came across the book of The Secret through my sister-in-law to be (I love her brother and am positive that he is going to marry me one day). Anyway, it made me realise one thing. I once lived according to the Secret, and I was not even aware of that. My life was full of happiness, laughter, and love. I had the best life ever. Had a job when I was only nineteen while people struggled to get a job. I had it all. Everyone wanted to be associated with me. I was living a dream. Sometimes I would sit around and look back at those days and wonder, where did I lose it? Where did I go wrong? I would find myself wanting the happiness back, and didn’t even know where to start.
After reading The Secret I have my answers. Looking back I know I started competing. I concentrated on what the world thought of me. Trying to please everyone else and forgot about me. I dwelled in fear that one day all people will be gone from me and I will be left all alone, and I tried so hard to hold on to people, even if it meant going against my principle. Then everything became a mess (fought with my family, lost the guy I truly loved and still do, etc). I would hold on to the wrong relationships out of fear of being alone.
But after reading The Secret, I know there’s a light after all. I am trying to live according to the Secret. I am releasing all the negative emotions. And I am trying to live as positively as I can. I am starting to love myself better. I smile a lot.
Thanks a lot. Soon I will be telling you how much better my life is.
