I start by thanking Rhonda for the invaluble contribution she has made to a million lives. I would also thank all the people who shared their stories on this site, they were true help.
I didn’t have a very happy childhood and felt ignored in my family. I always felt like an unwanted child, as my parents loved my younger sister more. Everyone seemed to love and care for her. My family is a middle class family, we could not afford separate bedrooms for both of us sisters, so she was the one who used to get a bedroom and I used to have my stuff in her room and sleep in the living room.
I always prayed to God to give me at least one person who truly cared for me. Only when I enrolled in college did I find some nice friends. But other things remained the same in my life. I managed to get a government job which wasn’t too good, even I didn’t like it much. I found a person who loved me and thought, now things will be perfect for me. But this person couldn’t marry me. I was in this pointless relationship and also not so happy with my job, but carried on with both as my destiny.
It was four years back when I was introduced to The Secret. The book made me realise that all I’ve been thinking through my life was misery, and that was what I received. It was an eye-opener. I re-read the book many times and started practicing the LOA. Though there was no immediate results (which I think was due to my own lack of belief), things started to fall into place eventually.
I was given a different profile in my office where I excelled and got promoted twice. My salary increased. The same people around me had different attitude towards me. I enrolled for MBA and passed with excellent grades. My parents are proud of me now. I am a confident person now.
But even though I was on the wrong side of thirty, I was unmarried so my parents were searching for a suitable alliance for many years, but all in vain. After settling in my job, I started focussing on this aspect. I saw the movie “The Secret” many times. I enrolled for The Secret scrolls, I frequently visited the site and read stories shared by my fellow ‘secret admirers’. What happened next was almost miraculous.
A relative suggested this boy. My father spoke to his parents and a meeting was arranged. When I met this boy, we immediately started liking each other as though we’ve known each other for ages. He was just what I wanted. Things were quickly settled and now we are getting married in March this year.
Had it not been for The Secret, I would have carried on with a miserable life. I thank the whole universe for this miracle.
