Self realization

Submitted by: Tacey Harp

Banks, OR

I am 27 married for 5 years. I have 2 BEAUTIFUL children ages 3 1/2 and 20 months. I work part time as a phlebotomist and spend most of my time with my children.

My husband and I first saw The Secret movie in May of 2010. We immediately latched on to the ideas and believed in it. We have struggled with money for our whole marriage. We have even gotten in pay day loan traps and have never really been able to get ahead in life. After watching The Secret movie things got better for a while.

Unfortunately they got VERY bad a couple of month later. My husband burned his hand severely and missed work. He is on a commission basis for pay so missing work can really set him back. Over the last few months we have had to borrow money from my father to pay our rent. I recently always began to get garnished for some back taxes. Things really seemed like they would never get better.

Last week I ordered The Power. Within days my husband was called by an old boss/friend that had a potential business opportunity for him. The biggest thing The Power is doing for me is realizing that all the negative things in my life are because of ME! I always thought I had a positive attitude but in reality I did not. I would be happy and positive at work but at home I was wound tight and would be down right “bitchy”. I justified my behavior because of money stress, my husbands unwillingness to help around the house, etc. But in reality I was causing all of those things by the way I reacted to situations. I am half way through The Power and I have changed sooo much. My husband is reading it too and I have never felt so much peace in my relationship, EVER.

The other night my husband was snoring in bed and I could not sleep. Usually this would end up with me storming down stairs and sleeping on the couch and then being pissy with him in the morning. Instead of doing this, I thanked the Universe that someone who is wonderful and loved me was laying next to me. I thanked the Universe that I had someone to snore next to me. I went back to sleep next to my husband and the next morning I felt nothing but love for him. Before reading The Power I would not have handled that situation in that way.

My favorite part of The Power is that it explains how we let our feelings go on auto pilot, when in fact WE ARE DRIVING. This IS MY LIFE and I need to take control of where it goes. I also had the realization that I AM A GOSSIP!! I have committed to NOT talking bad or gossiping any more. I feel so much better about myself since I had chosen to do this. Gossip is mean and negative and it has no place in my life. When others begin the gossip I just don’t respond much and then the conversation ceases to exist. It’s EASY!!

Thank you so so so much for writing The Power. Everything I do in my life and everything I approach will be with LOVE, and because of that Love will be returned to me. 🙂
