Thank you to Rhonda and the entire Team of The Secret for the knowledge that you have chosen to impart to the world and to make it a better place!

I have been learning about using this amazing and personal power since 2008 and am still figuring out the intricacies. But every day I thank the Universe for letting me live in a world in which we have the power to create our desires.

My story is four years old now, but I still find it amazing. In 2010 I was in a marriage in which I felt trapped. We have children and my wife had fallen in love with another man, due to my behavior and thoughts which I now fully understand.

I felt that there was no way I could leave the marriage, despite the presence of this other man. I could not live without my children and, in my mind, courts would never allow sole custody to the father over the mother. She was not a bad mother so there was no reason to remove the kids from her. Since I could not live without the kids, and the kids would be with their mother, I resigned myself to another 15 years being with this woman whom I no longer loved and who longed to be with her boyfriend.

One day though, seemingly out of the blue, I knew I had to get away. I deserved so much more than this! I immediately spoke to my wife saying I would like a divorce and to take the kids and return to the province of Canada where I grew up in British Columbia, approximately 6,000 km from where we were living. She, quite appropriately, agreed to the divorce, but not to me taking the kids so far away.

I began stating to family, friends and colleagues that within 2 years I would be moving to British Columbia with the kids and with their mother’s approval. That all would work out for the benefit of the kids and amicably between the ex-wife and I.
I had no idea how that was going to happen, but I believed in it.

Nothing too significant happened for about 25 months. In March 2012 a friend casually mentioned “If you had a good job in British Columbia, paying well to provide the kids excellent opportunities, your ex wouldn’t object to it, as it would be best for the kids”. I had never thought of it that way!

Within four months of that conversation, my kids and I had moved to a small city in British Columbia, 2 hours away from the rest of my family, to a job with a salary twice what I had ever earned before! All with my ex’s approval!

I think the Universe held me locked in place for 2 years because I said it would take two years before I moved. Once I put the wheels in motion, in March 2012, everything, job, money to move, and a place to stay while getting settled manifested very rapidly. My lesson is that our limits of when something should happen or how big it is, are just that, our self imposed limits. If I had said I wanted to move within 6 months, I am sure I could have moved on within that time frame.

A couple of other things happened very quickly when I first talked about divorce with my wife in 2010. She moved out of the house within 3 months. We originally agreed to a 6 month time frame. I met a wonderful woman, literally, within a week of asking my wife for the divorce. I had removed that energy block, a broken marriage, and good things poured in.

I know that this is a long story. I hope that some people may get inspiration from it, and appreciate that we do create our own worlds, and can create whatever we wish. I have received so much daily inspiration and encouragement from the stories on this site that I felt I had to share mine.

PS. My ex-wife and I get along much better, and are more respectful, now then ever before. She does love these kids and she chose the harder road by letting them go. I am grateful to her, and thank her every day for this gift to all of us.
