“Enjoy this weekend with a Great Book! May 2020 Read-of-the-Month”

Aarti’s Definition of Reading: [a most intimate experience one can have in Life where not a single word is needed to be heard for one to laugh-cry-be fearful-feel cheerful-reminisce-dream-love-fall in love-feel heart broken or just plain happy and grateful to be alive kind of experience.]

So when I reach this defining moment of my task set ahead of Me to choose a read, I end up choosing what my eyes are intrigued by the most. For this month of May, through the loom and gloom of the long days we are having, I have chosen to read a very much favourite of most, “The Secret” by Rhonda Byrne. We are all attracted to something one way or the other and the laws of attraction are aptly there for a reason and a good one.

I found myself, in the past ten months in a Life-changing spin and once again where everything that could possibly go wrong, went wrong. I am sure many have experienced that shift at some point and nothing that you do to rectify any of it, works and that is where I was.

I eventually felt pushed into such a corner that I could no longer spare a thought or breath out of me to relieve the darkness that hovered over.

So I decided to give up. I just gave up.

I took a moment, I closed my eyes, took a deep breath in and released that breath with every ounce of weakness I had left in Me and just surrendered to all that was happening to Me at that time. I surrendered to the Universe and said “Oh well. You got Me good this time. Okay. I am listening.”

That is all I did. I did not think about the darkness for a whole day thereafter. I even smiled and felt happy and said to myself that I am not going to kill my inner peace any more over this. I am going to stay positive and be calm and I will bring back the focus again…

…and just like that… everything started to fall into line again. All because I took a moment to breathe, feel and find a peaceful state of mind but not just any state of mind, I found MY very own peaceful state of mind and it resonated. The universe returned that very same peace back to me and just like that, after one full day of not worrying my already troubled heart, I took that moment and really started listening.

If you have never read this book before, may I suggest you do. “The Secret” was referred to Me by my sister and Ush, being one of my biggest fans, I know you are reading this so thank you so very much for sharing the ultimate secret with Me. Truly inspirational, you were right…and Life-changing.

On that note, have a wonderful weekend and a Happy Friday to You.

With much love – Aarti
