This is just the beginning
Submitted by: Emma B.
South Yorkshire, UKI am 26 years old, living in the UK, working at a steel company as a sales administrator.
I have always believed that there is something in positive thinking but have never really understood it until now. Every time I’ve had trouble at work that I really wanted to set right, I would always ask, please let this be ok, and in the end it would turn out ok. And I was amazed and I would say, thank you God.
There is a junction I have to turn out of at work which can be difficult because of traffic if you are turning right. Whenever I had to go right out of work I’d say, Please let me get out ok, and when I’d get to the junction it would be clear, and I’d say thank you. Now, I had done this without ever reading or knowing about The Secret!
Last month I was out shopping with my mum buying early Christmas presents and I saw Hulk Hogan’s latest autobiography. I am a fan of Hulk Hogan but it seemed expensive and I’d already bought a lot of things that day. However, I just felt I had to have it and I bought it. Now in this book, Hulk Hogan talks about someone giving him The Secret to read on a plane ride and he was hooked. I found just reading about Hulk Hogan learning about The Secret so interesting! And I realised just how similar it was to my own thinking and I looked up reviews and things on the internet about this book and then eventually bought it.
I’ve never been so engrossed and interested in any book. I found this book so inspiring and it made all my previous actions and thoughts on life make so much more sense and fall into place. It also made me realise where I had been going wrong with situations, like if I wanted something I would think about getting it but also doubting it would happen and being negative. I have slowly tried to changed my way of thinking and believed in myself and am already seeing changes.
For instance, I was previously worried about a Christmas party as my partner wanted me to go to their work Christmas party as all his colleagues were taking partners, however my Christmas party turned out to be on the same day. Now, with my new way of thinking I just told myself everything will work out ok in the end and I believed in myself! Now it is all fine as my Christmas party finish’s at 4pm and we are having it at dinner time with a meal and his party starts after 6pm which gives me time to rest and be ready for his.
I also used to really struggle getting through days at work, and constantly time would drag at work, and go quick at home. I have now changed how I think, telling myself I’m going to have a good and easy day at work. Now I find it easier to get through the day, and also my work day goes quicker where I don’t even notice the time, and before I know it its home time. Also I am beginning to notice that now I’m not focusing on not having any time at home, that it is going much slower and I’m finding I have so much time on my hands.
I feel amazed with the knowledge I have unlocked, which was obviously already in me, I just had to figure it out and understand it for myself. So thank you for writing this book, and as I say this is just the beginning and I’m expecting much bigger and greater things.
