Knowing When To Stop.

Submitted by: Son of God

India

An artist in search of knowledge and love.

First of all, I want to thank Rhonda Byrne and The Secret team for their positive impact on the world.

My name is Mohnish, and I come from a small town in India. Today, I am feeling a mix of emotions – sadness over losing my love, but also a sense of hope for the future. The teachings of The Secret have helped me realize that although I have experienced loss, I can still move forward with positivity.

I fell in love with a girl named Katrina, despite knowing very little about her. Initially, I tried to avoid her, but it seemed that my efforts to stay away from her only drew her closer to me. Despite the challenges posed by our age difference and different religious backgrounds, I developed strong feelings for her. I understand that inter-religious marriages are still difficult in India, but I hope for a future where such barriers are overcome.

Deep down, I knew that Katrina might not be the right person for me, but I convinced myself otherwise. I never confessed my feelings to her, and to this day, she remains unaware of my love for her. I went through a rollercoaster of emotions, visualizing different scenarios with her, experiencing heartbreak when I saw her with someone else, and hoping for a happy future together. I held onto the belief that if it was meant to be, she would come to me without me having to express my feelings directly.

Despite my efforts, I recently learned that she is planning to marry someone else. This news broke my heart, but I did not blame anyone for the outcome. I cried and realized that my suspicions about our compatibility were justified. I asked for a sign from the Universe to guide me. I asked to see a plane if we were not meant to be, and a balloon if we were. When I saw a plane in the sky instead of a balloon, I accepted it as a clear message, especially because it was the only thing I saw in the sky. It was a difficult realization, but I now understand that Katrina may not have been the right match for me.

As time passed, I began to see her flaws more clearly. I recognized that she had habits and qualities that were not aligned with my values. Despite the pain, I have come to appreciate the knowledge gained from this experience. I now value my life more and I feel much lighter knowing that I am free from the burden of unrequited love. I have decided to focus on my career and I look forward to a happier future.

I still have love and respect for Katrina, but I understand that we cannot be together. I regret that she never knew the depth of my feelings for her, but I am grateful for the lessons she has unknowingly taught me. I watched The Secret movie because of her, and although my feelings for her remain, I am determined to move forward and embrace the opportunities that lie ahead for me.

It is important to say that I believe in the power of The Secret, but I have learned that it is essential to listen to your inner voice and discern whether what you are attracting is truly what you really want and is in your best interest. Sometimes, the Universe guides us away from certain paths because they do not really align with our deepest desires. I have faith that there are better things awaiting me, and I trust in the promise of a brighter future.

With love,

A broken heart that’s slowly recovering.
