I had read the The Secret about 4 years ago and had received the miracles the practice offers. However, I stopped practicing it the last two years due to something I have wished for, but didn’t receive. One can say that I was heart-broken and because of that, I lost faith in the practice and what being grateful can do. Two months ago I started to practice The Secret again due to my sister’s recommendation to give it another try. I did and it brought so much joy and happiness in my life.

It was in April when I wrote my first gratitude journal, my last one was a couple of years ago. I also wrote my vision for my dreams/wishes. I had gotten two out of the 10 wishes I had written in a matter of one month. I also wrote that I want to receive an email from my ex BF and eventually get back with him. I waited for awhile. I set a deadline and failed to receive it. It was difficult, but I reminded myself that I have to continue to be positive and feel grateful.

I used the time to thank the universe for an opportunity to be able to write more of the things I am grateful for and practice my meditation and visualization. I started forwarding his old email to myself to make me imagine the feeling of getting an email from him. I started visualizing how I am going to react when I see him. I also visualized how I am going to surprise my sisters when he visits me here. I clearly visualized their tears of joy, my tears of complete happiness, and how my ex would be so shy and embarrassed about it. There was so much work that I did to make it happen.

Finally, I received an email from him! It made me cry. I sobbed as I was reading the email. I felt so grateful and humbled by what the universe had given me. Everything that I imagined he would say, he did. He expressed how much he misses me. How he thinks about me all the time. How he realizes that we are meant for each other after all these years. I cried and could not believe that I got my miracle. He is my miracle.

For those of you who are frustrated and ready to give up, don’t. Use the time to challenge yourself to be more grateful. Don’t ever think that it’s not working. You will get what you asked. Remember: Everything is possible. Nothing is impossible with the Universe.
