The Day I Waited So Long For.

Submitted by: Hope

Heaven

A gal who believes that dreams come true if you believe in them.

Hi, I’d like to share my story here to inspire people who have lost hope. Please forgive my English, as I’m not a native speaker.

I am a victim of child abuse. Since then, I have always felt bad about myself and filled my mind with negative thoughts. I constantly felt sorry for myself and believed that I didn’t deserve good things. Whenever I tried something new, I would think about the possibility of failure first, telling myself, “When you know how bad things can go, you won’t be disappointed if you fail, so prepare for failure.” It’s no wonder that I always ended up failing.

I always kept my distance from my parents. I never had the courage to tell them about it, and I resented them for allowing the abuser into our home. I sought love outside of my family. After finishing school, I was in several relationships with guys who took advantage of me under the guise of love. I’ve been in 5 relationships in the past, and each of them cheated on me and then discarded me after using me.

I loved them all immensely, but I always ended up in tears. Even the guys who seemed so good, decent, and from a good family background turned out to be heartless monsters after some time. I never knew the reason. I tried to commit suicide several times, lost jobs, ended up begging in an unknown country, was humiliated by people, and was in a very abusive relationship with someone who threatened to kill me. I lost almost everything until the moment I got to know about the law of attraction. Throughout all of this, my parents were with me. They didn’t know most of the things that happened to me, but they supported me financially and morally, even after they were insulted by others because of my mistakes. Now I realize I have been blessed with the best thing in this world, and that’s my parents.

At the end of August, I learned about the (LOA) and “The Secret”. I watched “The Secret” movie and read both “The Secret” and “The Magic“. This experience completely changed me. It made me realize that everything that had happened to me was a result of my negative thoughts and ungratefulness for the things I am blessed with. I learned that “you reap what you sow” and that your inner mind will bring into your life what you ask for. If it’s filled with negativity, that’s what you’ll get. I understood that in order to change my life, I needed to change myself first. So, I took a big step and started changing myself.

I started focusing on positive thoughts, showing love to my parents, and getting closer to real friends who had always supported me. I inspired people with my speeches, and despite being average-looking and a bit chubby as a teenager, I made positive changes. I lost weight and got in shape. People who see me these days are amazed at the transformation.

Even though I was previously unsuccessful in my job search, last week, I received two job offers from reputable companies offering good salaries. Now I’m confused about which offer to choose.

I was able to break free from an abusive relationship that lasted for 4 years. The individual not only threatened me but also caused distress to my parents. Despite the challenges, I had always believed that I could change this person through love and care. I confronted him, expressing how his actions had impacted my life. I made it clear that I had forgiven him and harbored no resentment towards him. I also assured him that I would help him overcome his alcoholism and start afresh. Over time, he positively transformed, and he even promised to let me move on with my life. He is working hard to overcome his addiction.

I have now found my soulmate, a perfect match whom I strongly believe I attracted into my life through the law of attraction. He possesses all the qualities I had always envisioned in a partner: caring, funny, respectful, kind-hearted, intelligent, understanding, and from a good family. Interestingly, his first and last names both start with ‘VI’, which aligns with the pseudonym ‘ViVi’ that I had chosen for myself years ago, not knowing its significance at the time. It seems that this connection was destined to happen, and eventually, I will take on his name, becoming Mrs. Vivi. Looking back, I now understand why my relationships with others never worked out. He was the one I had been manifesting into my life for the past 10 years.

I never thought he would fall in love with me when I first met him. He had been single for almost six years before falling in love with me. Our relationship faced a problem due to our age difference. We had a brief split because his family didn’t agree to his marrying someone older than him. This issue was mainly caused by my negative thoughts. I used to nag him about whether his family would agree, fearing he would leave me if they didn’t. And indeed, he was heartbroken, thinking he had ruined my life. I cried, but this time it didn’t take long to realize my mistake because I knew The Secret. I stayed positive and shared my positive energy with him, even when he didn’t respond to my messages. I reassured him that things would turn out well and visualized a happy life together. It didn’t take long. Yesterday, out of the blue, he called me and asked to meet. He took me to his home, introduced me to his family, and announced that I was the girl he wanted to marry. I was overjoyed and speechless. He explained that he wanted to secure his family’s approval first before approaching mine. He appreciated my messages for giving him the confidence to fight for our relationship. Finally, his family agreed to our marriage. We’re getting engaged soon and starting our happy life together.

I want to thank Rhonda and everyone else who inspired me and showed me the secret of success. I know it’s a long story, but I wanted to share it to inspire those who may be thinking of giving up. Giving up is not an option. Fill yourself with positive thoughts and faith. If I could make it, so can you. In the end, everything will be okay. If it’s not okay, it’s not the end.
