The girl with a bone
Submitted by: Chrissy P
Atlanta, GAI'm a young girl, looking to fulfill her dreams. Using the teachings of the Secret and hoping help others do the same.
I bought the book, The Secret a year ago. Read it and found it very inspiring at the time. As an easily distracted teenager, I lost interest in the book and it’s teachings quite quickly. Which lead me to lose my control over my thoughts. I happened to notice in a months time what a toll this had taken on my life. I was in awful situations and becoming mentally ill. Depression was taking over my once happy self.
After struggling with my problems and sulking in my self pity. I became so unhappy, my thoughts were leading me to suicide. I then found myself begging the universe for me to be happy, to help me remember why I am on this earth, thanking & praying about all the little things, and to help me step away from the gun. I was resorting back to the teachings of The Secret subconsciously. Before I knew it, my little puppy waddles in the room. Flops down in front of me, staring at me with her big eyes, and nudges me with a moan. It was such a simple thing, one of the little things I thanked the universe for. The way I saw it, my puppy needed me a way an infant needs its mom was more than enough for me to put down the gun. I was sure that the universe did this. Reminding me of what small things make me happy, how I have control all in my mind, and how I just need to remember. I’m so happy, and to this day I carry the book around and read it over and over again as a reminder.
I will never take for granted again the life I have been blessed with. I am now proud to say, I’m no longer struggling with depression. I am rising in happiness.
