Starting on an Entirely New Life
Submitted by: Gail
Cebu City, PhilippinesA 20 year old girl starting on a new life, full of joy in her heart - at last!
Just like the other inspiring stories here, I came across The Secret (or better yet, The Secret came to me!) at a very crucial point in my life…
The first few words of The Secret book struck me the very first time I read them. Like Rhonda, just three months ago my life fell apart. It’s like every mistake I have ever done in my life accumulated and I felt I could no longer redeem myself. A small fight with my classmates became so big it troubled the whole class. I have burdened myself with so many problems and I was completely exhausted. My grades in school were flunking.
I decided to transfer school to get a peace of mind. But still, there was still so much regret, so much anxiety, and so much pain in my heart.
I transferred into a new school in a new city. I believed it was The Secret who helped me get into this school of my dreams. But first, I asked that I have a comfortable and convenient place to stay wherein I could now focus on studying and start a new life. I wrote every single detail about the new home that I would live. I consider it a great blessing of The Secret that every single detail I wrote down came true! I am so blessed in the place that I am staying. I also found new friends who are so accommodating and loving as I go through this process of healing.
Transferring school when you are in the middle of college is like a mortal sin. Chances are, you will extend your stay for one or two more years. Luckily, the school that I transferred only has a little difference in terms of prospectus compared to my previous school. But the enrollment process was excruciating because I have to accredit 54 subjects in 10 departments (and they are located in different campuses!). Even with a heavy heart, I asked the Universe to please just accredit all of my courses, help me get enrolled on time, and make the process as smooth as possible.
There were times that things got so tiring and it seemed like me being enrolled in this school was impossible. Every single signature of a department, every tiring process, and every step I made I consider a miracle. Right now, I am so grateful to be successfully enrolled in this school, all of my requirements done, my subjects to be taken this semester approved (increasing my chances of graduating on time), and starting on a new life!
Now, I continue to use The Secret to keep the good blessings coming into my life. Out of my greatest despair, a great blessing came to me. I am enrolled in a very prestigious school (which is better than my previous school). Studying here is so invigorating. People are so supportive and accommodating to me here. This place is so enriching and I believe I will gain so much fulfillment here…
I began to have new eyes to love the world that I am living in. It’s a new me! Although, I am still on the process of really taking out negative thoughts in my mind as much as possible and just staying positive. But then, I have never been so much better and happier as I came to know that the power to turn my life around and get the life I want is exactly in my hands…
Right now, I am asking the Universe that I graduate on time (with no extensions!) and with honors. I am also asking that I form good and strong relationships here that I would cherish for a lifetime.
God bless us all!
