I am a 22 year old guy from a small town in India. A couple of months ago I was a prey of depression. I had completely lost hope about a normal life. I was convinced that I had no reason to be alive, I used to have suicidal thoughts, I could not sleep well, my body was in sever pain, I was sick, I could not focus on studies, I had isolated myself from everyone else. I used to believe that for me, life was over. I used face a lot of difficulty communicating with people.
And then there was the biggest problem, of me being gay. I was struggling with my identity and I was scared about being bullied for it. And now I understand that it was this very thought of fear which led me to such a bad situation. I was literally at the lowest point in my life. I had never found myself this helpless ever. This fear made me get addicted to bad habits without me knowing about it. This single thought had completely turned my life upside down. I wanted to get out of it so badly but the persistent thoughts about the thing which led me to this situation wouldn’t let me out.
All of a sudden on one day, I started praying to the universal energy (I don’t know how this thought came to me) to help me overcome this situation. This became a habit and every night I used look at the stars and pray to the universe for the help, support, power and love needed to overcome my problems. I used to ask the universe to give me part of it’s energy to me.
After a couple of days my mentor suggested some wonderful books to read. She stressed particularly on one book though, it was “The Secret”. She said, “It’s life changing…!”. I went home and thought it was worth giving a try and so I ordered it online. I read it, and then I got know how I had attracted “The Secret” thus the solutions to all my problems, to me unknowingly.
I followed the advice of the gurus in the book. I began meditating twice every day. It made my mind calm and rejuvenated my body. I began thinking about things that I wanted to attract. With the help of proper medication and meditation I kicked my habit. I have now accepted what I am and I now love myself. I could say that I am now a being of cheerfulness. I have also learnt to be grateful for what I have, which gives me a lot in return. My health is improving and I feel grateful for it. I am now moving towards the peak of my life and career. And it’s all thanks to Rhonda Byrne.
PS : Thank you to “The Secret”, thank you to Rhonda, thank you to all the gurus’ of “The Secret”, thank you to the universe and thank you to law of attraction!
