What a turn around
Submitted by: Brid I
IrelandA true believer who had allowed things that were out of control to overshadow my faith. NOT anymore I believe in me.
I was in a fantastic job, sure not the job of my dreams but it had good hours and allowed me to study part time for the degree of my dreams. Never did I think that it would suddenly end due to the owner up and selling without any notice.
I was devastated as I suddenly had no income but a lot going out, how would I keep studying. I applied for many jobs and it was over two years. I was so down as I isolated myself from friends because I couldn’t do anything. I was trying to get by with the bare minimum of food to save money and I got so down. I was devastated at the prospect of having to give up the degree of my dreams and a life I have envisioned.
I was going through my home trying to find things that I might be able to sell when I found a copy of The Secret on DVD, I had the copy for years I had watched it, but never really watched it if that makes sense. I put it on and I watched and watched about three times in a row and started to make notes and lists and my mood seemed to lift. I watched it every single day for three weeks, sometimes it was on in the background when I was looking for jobs or studying.
Then one day I got the urge to buy a ticket, normally I would say, ‘oh waste of money’, but that day my gut seemed to say go for it. Well I won enough to pay for my years tuition, pay back people who had given me money and gave them a lot more on top as interested. Plus I went and did a start your own business course and I have a part time business on the sides so I can earn money keep going to college, doing a course that is going to benefit many people. The best lesson I have learned, don’t take things for granted, be grateful and most of all never ever lose hope, and if this makes sense ,don’t become too attached to what you want. Put it out there and let it go. Find something in each day to be grateful for, the more you do, the more you will find to be grateful for. Plus believe in yourself the past does not dictate the future. BELIEVE
