Nothing is impossible, trust me!

DublinHi, I am just gone 27 and my main passion in life is art - any aspect of design. I always doubted I would ever end up working in art as a full time job, because Ireland is a pretty closed shop when it comes to art or fashion. So I set myself to doom a long time ago and worked outside my own office job, which became very tiring. But just to be able to be creative, making costumes, doing face painting, etc. Until I read The Secret, I also had a glum outlook on life, that some people have it lucky and me and my family are cursed and always will be because of tragic things that happened in the past. But then I read The Secret...
So, last year I spent most of the year down and out and thinking I was a loser because I was convinced I would always be stuck in a rut in a job I don’t want to be in, and will never have a full time job in art. I also had major resentment towards life due to circumstances caused by one person in my family. This person caused us all a lot of hurt, but instead of realising that this person chose that life for themselves, we drowned ourselves in the sorrow caused by him for years. There was one particular bad incident, and I bought The Secre,t hoping me and my family would all read it and get on with our lives. But no one did.
Just last year myself and my family started taking a more positive outlook on life. Then I decided to read The Secret, as it was gathering dust! After I read it I couldn’t believe what happened and how quickly. In a recession, my job sent me on a graphic design course. I do it most of my day even though I was hired here as a receptionist (what are the odds in that?), they bought a new computer and software worth thousands, and are sending me on a web design course in July as they see the benefits from it all. I also have an in-house mentor/graphic designer teaching me more than I could learn in a classroom.
I know that I will flourish in this role and have no doubt in my mind that after a couple of years experience I will walk into any dream job I like, and that I will do this for the rest of my life as my career, and just get better and better. 🙂
AND we no longer worry about that person that made our lives hell at one point. We only worry about OURSELVES and the good things life has to offer. As well as these two milestones for me, one more thing I found crazy BUT soooo true was The Secret’s part about finances and money! I used to always say, “Oh, I have no money, I wish I was earning more money, etc.” Now I don’t worry about not having enough, I just say, “I know I will have it,” even though I don’t get great wages at the moment! (I am working on that) But I always have plenty and I am totally content with what I have for now!
Overall I have such gratitude for the gifts life has given me – wonderful family, a fantastic boyfriend, and true, true friends. And I owe it all to that book and Rhonda and her team for making us realise what we have in life, and what is out there, and most importantly to love, be grateful, and believe in yourself and others! Lots of love to you all. Forever in your depth xxxxxxxxxxxx
