I gave a chance to myself
Submitted by: Jefferson Aguiar
Goiânia, BrazilHi. I’m Jeff, I’m from Brazil.
Well, as many people in the world, I grew up without my parents. My parents broke up I was still a baby. It was very hard for me and my brother (he was very sick at that time). We grew up without roots. And I used to think that nobody was able to love me, or take care of me, and I really used to believe it. I believed that people didn’t pay attention to me, that I was ugly, that I was poor, that I was in need. Well, and all that stuff that I used to believe was “truth” (we attract what we believe). I was unhappy, I was always sad… no reason to be alive. Why be alive, if my parents keep away from me, and I’m in need of everything? I’m gay, and I also believed that it was one more reason to make people refuse me. Well, every guy I met was not really looking for love, and it made me unhappy. I tried 8 times!
One day after I checked out my exams results, I got so sad because my result was “HORRIBLE”. I stated call myself “dumb”, “incompetent”, etc. Someone called me and asked me, “Why are you so sad?” “Because I’m dumb,” I answered. He advised me to read The Secret. I bought the book and started to read it.
In the beginning of the book, I said to myself, it is a “fairy tale” history. But in the same time I said: “I GOTTA GIVE A CHANCE TO MYSELF.” So, I did. I didn’t want to read it fast, I was appreciating every sentence, and putting it into my mind. The first gift: the happiness surrounding me! I was laughing all time, always happy, always glad, always content!
My life changed on many points:
My friends always call me and tell me: I LOVE YOU JEFF.
My parents are still the same, but my relations with them are pretty good now.
At my job, my co-workers always say: Jeff you are so lovely.
Everybody is always inviting me to go on a trip.
Money is incoming always!
The best point: I met someone that really is my Soul mate. Someone so lovely, someone that makes me thank God all time, someone intelligent, someone faithful, someone beautiful. Yesterday was Valentine’s Day in Brazil, and we went to a restaurant and enjoyed together… Really what I asked God for.
Thank you God, thank you Rhonda, thank you Universe!
