The Secret Saved My Life

Submitted by: Mary

Central Coast, CA

A year ago I almost jumped off the balcony of a 7-story resort. The only reason I didn’t is because an angel (at least that’s how I think of him) on the rooftop across the way asked me not to jump that night, maybe tomorrow, but not now.

I went back into my bedroom where my husband asked me if anything was wrong. I asked, “Why do you care?” His reply was, “Well, I wouldn’t want you to kill yourself because I cannot afford any more problems right now.” This should give you some idea of what my once fairy-tale marriage of 8 years had become.

My self-esteen was in the toilet. Over the last 3 years I had allowed my husband to treat me with utter contempt. I had given up a successful career, unwittingly alienating my closest friends, even my family, to please this man. My health was in serious trouble. I had lost 50 pounds in two months…I had developed Hashimoto’s disorder.

We had been planning to retire to the Caribbean this spring, and so I had shut down my consulting business at his insistence. Then in December he announced out of the blue that he wanted a divorce and that I needed to move out by Christmas. I had trusted him with my retirement money, which he lost in his stock market experiments. A multimillionaire, he had also made me sign a prenuptual agreement years ago. Bottom line: I was left with nothing and seemingly no recourse.

Penniless, without a job, without a home, on the verge of dying from an out of control hyperthyroid, I thought my life was over.

Yet the moment I let go of the marriage and became grateful that I was still alive, amazing things began to happen. I had heard of the Law of Attraction years ago, but had never really consciously employed its principles. Instinctively, I began reaching out to friends and family. I put my pride in my pocket and revealed to them my difficulties, and I asked for help from them, from God. I had never asked for help before in my life, from anyone.

Simply by asking for what I needed…shelter, food, clothing, love, kindness, compassion, money, a job….one by one they have all appeared. For my fiftieth birthday present, my parents loaned me the money to hire a good lawyer and he secured a $50,000 property settlement from my ex so I at least had something.

Eight months later, I have a wonderful job that I love and where I am highly valued. I have a comfortable home, my ex’s two sons and their wives and kids have rallied around me, my friends and family have returned to support me, I am showered daily with love and kindness by my colleagues and loved ones.

Still yet, the most amazing thing is the improvement in my health. My heart rate is down from 120 bpm to only 85! My blood pressure has dropped significantly. And I am not on medication, just using acupuncture to keep my body energy flowing correctly.

And I know this is just the beginning. Watching The Secret about two months ago made me realize that I had been using the Law of Attraction. And that I could duplicate such feats and even bigger ones over and over again… simply by asking, believing and being grateful for each moment in my life. I have asked for additional things and I can already tell that they will be showing up in my life very soon.

Thank you for creating such an extraordinary movie. I play it over and over again to remind myself that there is no limit to what can be achived simply by asking and being grateful. I have given copies away to loved ones who are also creating their own miracles.

Bless you!
