Success After Failure.

TorontoFrom rock bottom to successful MD.
My whole life I have been paralyzed by fear, anxiety, insecurity, and a whole slew of other negative thoughts that emulate from a fear-based ego.
In the spring of 2014 I have finally learned to let it all go. So many of us are chained to our fears because we are afraid to fail. We are afraid of being looked down upon, shunned and being unaccepted in this social world we live in.
I always felt like an outsider because I never adopted a rosy outlook on life. I have always been pessimistic, and consequently, enclosed. I did not want to reveal myself to others nor reach out to the world because I had a constant fear of rejection and nonacceptance. I would constantly tell myself I am not good enough, not pretty, smart, charismatic, friendly, outgoing, positive or resilient enough. I was always my own worst critic and so cruel to myself.
After being stuck in a rut, with a dead end job and little to look forward to because of my own negative fear-based thinking, I picked up The Secret and realized my own failures and short comings were nothing but a manifestation of my own thoughts. I truly believe that if you change your thoughts you can change your world. Therefore, rather than focus on the bottom half of my life I shifted my perception and realized I am what ever I tell myself I am.
What I have come to realize is that I am beautiful, smart and embody a gift of looking at a situation from all angles and perceptions. Before this, my Achilles heel was that I would focus too much on all the negative aspects.
Now, I use this gift of perception to help my flourishing career as a Psychiatrist. I am able to help my patients struggling with mental illness through The Secret and by helping them understand that our thoughts are what shape our entire world.
Thank you law of attraction. Thank you world. I believe my own inner struggles and failures have allowed me to be so successful at my own career and truly I am blessed.
Amen.
