I had a pretty crappy childhood that caused a great deal of pain and heartache for years because that is what I focused on.  <\/p>\n<p>I live with my mom in a one bed room apartment and sleep on the couch.  I felt like crap because I believed I didn&#8217;t deserve anything.  <\/p>\n<p>Then a friend GAVE me a copy of The secret.  WOW!!!  I thought some of it was different, but I discovered that it was the key that I was missing in my life.  I can&#8217;t change the past, but I can change my attitude NOW.  <\/p>\n<p>I immediately changed my thinking.  Because of &#8220;The Secret&#8221; my relationship with God has become so blessed!  Man, am I blessed!  I no longer wake up feeling angry at life.  I FINIALLY love myself and have become the person I have always wanted to be.   I became grateful for EVERYTHING around me!  I wrote gratitude notes to everyone at work and the next day I got a phonecall from a company that I have been trying to get into for a year.  THEY CALLED ME!!  I now start my new dream job on Monday.  I have so many fantastic benefits!!  Guess what else?! I make more than enough money to pay off debt and get my own place!  Even a new bed!! AMEN Halleluiah Praise the God of the Universe!!  <\/p>\n<p>There are some things in life that I can&#8217;t change and people I can&#8217;t change, but I do have control over my attitude.  And Wow attitude is EVERYTHING!!  I feel free and alive!  I am able to grow and be happy!  I have a book coming out in December that I wrote!  I started painting beauty!  And they are GOOD!  OOOHHH!! And my new job pays for my school, so now I can finish my Masters in Counseling!!!  Can I get an AMEN!!!  Ask for what you desire, TRUST and give it to God &#8220;the universe&#8221;, and BE GRATEFUL for all that is around you!!  <\/p>\n<p>Next, I am praying and visualizing my prince charming; who will make me laugh and be my best friend!  AMEN!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just broke up with my boyfriend in January, whom I thought was my prince charming.
