No Such Thing As Falling Out Of Love.
We’ve been together for more than three years and eight months, and let me tell you, it hasn’t always been sunshine and butterflies. We’ve experienced our fair share of highs and lows. Initially, our relationship was going great, but then negativity started to seep in. I started to take him for granted, ignoring his needs, and doubt began to gnaw at me. I even started to wonder if I still loved him—a question that felt like the worst possible betrayal! One day, while I was studying at my desk, a troubling thought occurred to me: “Do I have feelings for someone else?” I had not yet discovered The Secret, so this doubt sent me into a deep depression. For three arduous months, I experienced physical discomfort and a sense of hopelessness, as though my entire world were crumbling.
Then, at a party, one of my friends recommended that I see The Secret. When she asked me to her apartment the following day, I was astounded to realize how closely my own circumstances paralleled the difficulties I was having with my boyfriend. Motivated, I bought a copy of The Secret DVD and started implementing its teachings in my daily life.
I never felt abandoned by my lover at this time. I could always count on him to comfort me, telling me, “I love you, and everything will work out.” I started writing in my thankfulness journal all the things I loved and admired about him. I nourished our relationship by emphasizing his good traits.
I discovered after a year of consistent practice that my feelings for him had never diminished. It became evident that a large number of people who think they’ve fallen out of love are actually having mental health issues. Had my love for him truly faded, my desire to stay would have been overwhelming. My desire to stay demonstrated that my love was still very much alive.
My head was the problem, not my heart. The Secret taught me the importance of controlling our ideas, as Gandhi aptly observed, “The mind acts like an enemy for those who don’t control it.”
So, everyone, keep your hope alive! It’s not true to fall out of love. Have complete faith and faith in the universe. I’m completely smitten with my partner, and my feelings for him get brighter and stronger every day. I have the utmost gratitude to the Universe and Rhonda Byrne, who has been my spiritual mother!
