I have been following “The Secret” for five years and have read every book, listened to every masterclass, and purchased the audiobooks to enjoy during my morning commute to work. A year and a half ago, I allowed myself to slowly slip back into the negative ways of human \u201cbeing\u201d \u2014 filled with negative thoughts, emotions, blame, and judgment, which were influenced by external circumstances. This mindset eventually engulfed me once again.<\/p>\n
Two months ago, I decided to take back control over my mind and to adopt a mindset of gratitude. I started from the beginning of “The Secret” series and listened to each of my favorite books three times. Within two weeks, I began to notice a difference in my outlook, hope, happiness, and positivity.<\/p>\n
Just two days ago, I noticed that our bank account was extremely low, and my husband and I were not due to get paid until next week. I added up the bills and the money we had, and I felt a brief jab of despair. However, I quickly dismissed that feeling, reminding myself that despair wouldn\u2019t help the situation. I shifted my thoughts to abundance, took a deep breath filled with gratitude, and put my hand on my heart. I said a quiet thank you for the assurance that the bills would be paid and that we would have more than enough to meet our needs.<\/p>\n
The next morning, I woke up to check our account, and to my complete trust and belief, my husband\u2019s paycheck had been deposited four days early! Thank you, thank you, thank you!<\/p>\n
Every time I felt a wave of despair wash over me, I took a deep breath of gratitude for what we did have, thanked our blessings, and let the feelings go while smiling peacefully. I continued to smile and express gratitude for what we did have, and we were continually blessed!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
