Waking Up to My Life
Submitted by: Ruchika
Bangalore, IndiaI'm so grateful to everything and everyone for helping me discover my picture-perfect life.
I always thanked God for the life I had, which I called perfect. But deep down I knew there were still so many things that could really be perfect. My studies for example. I used to be a brilliant student, but of late my grades had dropped drastically and I was losing the motivation to do well. If I was upset with a B two years ago, then now I was getting D’s and I seemed ok with it. But at the same time I didn’t want to work hard because I didn’t like anything I studied. Yet I wanted to be academically brilliant again. I had tried using the Secret for so many tests and exams, but it never worked. It worked in all other areas of my life, but not this. Every time I got bad marks I knew there was something I was doing wrong. Every time I tried to rebuild my confidence that it would work, but it never did.
The day before I got my results of the first term eleventh grade exams, I had decided I had enough! Enough of getting low marks and so many other things that I finally admitted I didn’t deserve. I wanted the life of my dreams. I deserved it. I knew I deserved it. There’s nothing I’d done not to deserve it. I could feel that life, as if it belonged to me in a way nothing had ever belonged to anyone before. I knew it was mine and I said, “God it’s time for you to give me my life. I don’t want to bumble through life saying it’s perfect when it’s not. I want MY life. Please give it to me. I need it. So badly! I wanna LIVE! And I wanna wake up to my perfect life tomorrow.”
And what do you know!!! I did!!! I couldn’t believe I could wake up to the life I wanted!! I cried and cried because I was so grateful!!! Thank you so much God!! You gave me my life!
