I Changed My Life
Submitted by: Nadya
Bristol, UKI am a single mother, a chef and business woman!
When I was 19 I found myself pregnant and in an unhappy relationship. I felt the only way to make my situation work was to get married to a man who was no good to me. A year after our child was born, I found the courage to leave my husband and start a life for myself and baby. However, despite finding a nice home and having a good flexible job, I was still very unhappy and suffered mental break downs over the next few years.
In 2010, I realised that for the past five years I had become a very cynical and bitter woman! I was carrying all the hurt and pain from my marriage. I was in a job that I didn’t enjoy or find stimulating, and was seeing endless, no hope guys! I knew something had to change but wasn’t sure what.
In November 2010, I had a house fire. There was horrendous smoke damage, a wall had been damaged and a shrine I have had, went up in flames. But apart from that, nothing else had been damaged, no one was hurt, and all of my treasures had been spared. I couldn’t believe it and knew someone or something was watching over me and blessing me.
I went to a talk in December 2010 about the Law of Attraction and wrote a letter to the universe. That letter changed my life! I started reading The Secret and it amazed me how every time I read it, it was so uplifting!
I was looking for a new career in food. So I applied to university but I applied late. I couldn’t believe it, I was offered a place!
I started a cake business and was getting a steady flow of orders. I wanted to go on holiday and for the first time I travelled alone to Sri Lanka with my child. Not only that, the airline offered me free return flights which I used the following year to travel back to my roots of Mauritius!
I met a fabulous man. The first man to ever make me smile and although we came to an end, I hold such positive thoughts about him because he was all the loveliness I never knew existed in a man!
I still sometimes struggle maintaining to keep up with The Secret.
But reading all the stories on the website has made me realise this is a way of life, a constant frame of mind and I know fabulous things come from The Law of Attraction.
I have been struggling lately but I know to change my thinking, keep positive and get real about what I want. And to mostly be grateful for everything that I already have because I actually lead a fabulous life and anything else I receive is a bonus!
