London EnglandI am a final year law student, soon to graduate after 4 years studying something which is not my passion, but I am grateful for my experience, excited for the future, and I believe in the secret, this can change your life, if you think positive positive comes to you !! Life is a journey !
I have always been fascinated with America and I have always loved Americans. All the American people I have met have been outgoing, friendly and genuinely nice! Also the accent in particular is awesome! I have never had the chance to visit the US. I am in my final year of study now, and soon to graduate (3 months, YES!) I have no idea what I will do but I know all will be well and I will land my dream job sooner or later.
I applied for a few internship programs to work abroad next year. I wanted to go to NY, it seems to be an amazing city full of opportunity, always on the go, I love being busy, I love being surrounded by people, I love the metropolis. So I had my mind set on working in NY, landing an internship there, somehow. I kept telling everybody and talking about it and saying it. I had an interview in December, and it was great, I was really confident and I was not nervous just excited (this too is amazing for me as I used to be very shy and introvert, I am slowly overcoming this).
Anyway, I later got my results of the internship and I was rejected, but I was happy because I knew everything happens for a reason. I didn’t tell my family about this because I wanted to land an internship and simply tell them outright, “Hey guess what I’m going to NY!”
I went back home for my Christmas break. January came, passed. February came, I went back to my home for a little break. That’s when my Mom said to me, “What do you think about visiting New York this summer, for a holiday?” I was like, “WHAT! Are you kidding me? I would LOVE TO!!!!” I couldn’t believe that my Mom randomly suggested NY of all places, usually we holiday in Europe, the East, or Asia. But America!! I was so shocked.
I was so excited, I had butterflies and I couldn’t stop smiling! So, although I didn’t make my internship to New York, I am going there on holiday. And to me, I believe this is the work of The Secret. Thank you Universe! You just have to believe. Sometimes it is easy to get thrown off the path, and you will get stuck in a rut, you will fall down. Fall, embrace it. But remember to get back up and keep going, keep believing! Once something small happens, you will have momentum to embrace The Secret!
