Positive Thinking And Letting It Go.
Submitted by: R
New YorkI'm 25 and have been following The Secret for a while now.
Firstly, I’d like to thank everyone who writes their stories here. They have been such a source of inspiration and as of late, I start my day, every day, by reading a few stories to get myself in the positive energy zone. I’d like to say this is a story about faith, about letting go and pretty much shifting your thinking to be only positive about everything in life.
A few weeks ago I hit rock bottom, at least that’s how I pictured it in my head and of course that’s what happened. The guy I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with, broke up with me. I was broken, sad, in denial, crazy and angry and pretty much every negative emotion came out. Day by day, things only got worse because I was so hurt. I was not ready to move on from the incident.
I was so angry and all I wished was for Karma to teach him a lesson or for him to regret this and come back, or sometimes, to not come back. Basically I had zero clarity about what I wanted. I’d tell myself one day I would be happy, then get sad, thinking about him or our memories together. I would just wonder how he could move on and would just wish for karma to strike him again. The cycle continued for a long time. However, things for him only seemed to get better but for me it only got worse. And why wouldn’t it?
Firstly, we can never use The Secret to impose something else into another person’s life. Secondly, I was so focused on how sad I was after the break up or how I felt betrayed, that I constantly hosted my own pity party. I pretty much attracted this mess.
Finally, after a long time, I decided once and for all to change my attitude towards this situation. I made up my mind that I was only going to focus on myself. What I can do to heal, things I can do to be happy and I really just imagined myself living in this abundance and being grateful for everything that I already had.
On day 1 into this practice, rather than forcing myself to not think negative thoughts, I was just focusing on thinking positive thoughts. I had read so much here about the real secret to The Secret is to ask the Universe for what you really want and then just let it go. Be happy and be positive and it will manifest. So all I ask from the Universe is for happiness. I am so grateful for the amazing friends and family I have that have helped me through it all. I am grateful for my job, my house, my money and my health. I am glad for all the lessons I learnt in this relationship and I’m grateful that the best is yet to come!
I really feel over this breakup and I am now a happy, positive person whose life is filled with blessings and miracles. I’m glad for the amazing friends, old and new, all my recent travel plans that await me and for all my money and for manifesting my dream job. This all happened for the best and with this belief and faith, I finally let this go and I really do feel good!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
