This is a very abbreviated version because my story is so long, maybe I will have to write a book.

I live in Angola. I am in my 40’s and I have never had my own house, children, a husband or anything that I could say was mine, even though I have been working since I was 17. All of these things that I never had, I  always dreamed of and wished to have. I ended up conforming to life and telling myself that maybe I was paying for some sin or something wrong that I had done in the past. I ended up being in such a state of conformism, that I did not feel good about myself. I felt bad about my body, my skin, nothing was right, and everything that I tried to do was wrong. I did not develop professionally in terms of salary, and I never received any compliments of any kind!

Then for some reason, after being stuck at home for a year because of the Covid pandemic, I was called to go back to work. I was told I would be doing more work for less pay but I was so grateful to just be able to get some kind of salary again to help me to pay for my basics living bills.

When I had to go into quarantine, I asked for a book to be sent to me to read. It was The Secret. I had bought it about 8 years ago but it sat around without me ever having read it. So I started reading The Secret and after reading just a few pages, I realized that I did not have any love for myself. This was actually something that I already knew but it felt so normal that it was already a part of me and my thoughts. I don’t love myself enough.

So I started a new mantra in my mind, I love myself and have so many things to be thankful for!

There have been so many years of devaluation of myself, but it is already changing! I have been reading and applying The Secret. I installed The Secret Super App and I am using it every day. I don’t have a timeframe for when it happened, I just know that when I started to give myself love, I got the strength to rise up and I am starting to receive what I want.

Thank you!
