I’ve always believed some things work out, some things don’t. Desire and ambition is important, but it’s healthy to take rejection and loss as they come too. They’re an unavoidable part of life. To be strong, you need to know how to deal with them. Preparation is key. One must always have back-ups.

Everything crumbled when I didn’t get into the school I wanted and my sister got depressed when my grandmother died. Things always happen in a pack of three, don’t they? I couldn’t get back. I wasn’t in pain, I wasn’t in darkness. I was just numb. And I didn’t even know it. I got admitted to another school. I made new friends that I kept at an arm’s distance. I looked at life through their milestones, coming to a new city, struggling to find work and love. They were all fighting.

One of my friends told me about her understanding of The Secret. She thanked for love as if it was her present, and it happened. There was fire and hope in that possibility. It daunted me to change and let go of the familiar, make myself vulnerable to hope. But it also seemed magically simple and uncomplicated. So I gave it a shot.

The Secret is not magical just because it makes things happen. I’ve attracted so many things ever since. I started with repairing my broken blu ray player which had been broken for a year. It got fixed in an hour when services are known to be notoriously bad in my area. I went on to attract free concert tickets, a trip to Germany, free restaurant menu trials and a brand new job with a great company. It has only been a year. The best thing that happened was that I attracted healing. I could wake up and feel happy and blessed for nothing at all! Just happy for my bed, the way the sun shone on my walls and filled the room with a happy yellow filter.

It helped my sister heal, too. It changed my family. I no longer believe it is important to be pragmatic and realistic, by which I mean cynical. I don’t expect to win or lose. I expect only the most rewarding experience of all: I expect what I want and only focus on that. Nothing else. It lets me know that I’ve tried my best and that the Universe is with me. I talk to myself more. I know now that I used to be numb, because I can now understand what it means to be happy, and abundant.

Of course I still slip up. I lost out on a great relationship because I didn’t believe in being loved. It made me sick. I’m trying to work on that. I’m also trying to manifest my perfect body. But I get through all the bad breaks because the Universe is always there. And you can always get back to attracting, it just takes one thing. Belief. Start from small and work to the big things. You put yourself in a virtuous circle. Like The Secret says, it takes one thing. Just 1 per cent more of positive energy and the rest works itself out.
Thank you for hearing me out, and helping me. Thank you for The Secret.
