My Life Journey.
Submitted by: Madeline Serrano
Brooklyn. NYI am from Puerto Rico, raised in NY since I was three. I found myself in a work related accident leaving me disabled, depressed, and depending on a wheelchair to travel. My son one day told me that I should read The Secret and I ordered my book in Dec. 2020. I kept reading and began to think positive. I started forcing myself to walk with my walker, then my cane. I began to follow the positive words and one day a year later, I had my dream home and I am walking again.
My life journey had not been a positive one until more recently. We were poor and growing up was rough. Through the years I was raised to be a housewife but I never was taught the value of being positive. However, against all odds, and after many struggles, at the age of 21 I had three children. I also managed to complete my degree in the medical field as a Medical Assistant. Working in a hospital allowed me to learn and grow.
Then one day when I was leaving from work, I found myself in the ER. I can’t really say much of what happened because I do not remember it. All I know is that I was in an elevator and then I was told that it dropped from the 9th floor to the basement. I went through several surgeries and was left disabled.
My depression became overwhelming because here I was alive but living a different life. My freedom was taken away. My life now depended on a wheelchair and those family members who cared enough to help me. Also, my home attendants who took their time to love me when I could not love myself when my boyfriend left me.
It has been almost 4 years since this incident that left me with chronic pain 24 hours a day and 7 days per week. It took over me, and on some days I could not get out of bed, and on other days it seemed hopeless. I cried all day and every day. I became obsessed and had several operations for torn ligaments in both my ankles, on my arm, and for my back issues. I was still not able to sit or walk for too long.
One day I cried to my son and he introduced me to The Secret. He told me to read it so I ordered the book and began to read. I began to understand that I had to believe and be grateful. So every day that I struggled to get into the wheelchair and was in severe pain, I said, “Thank you, lord. Thank you to my ancestors, for my spiritual guidance, and to the Universe for letting me wake up another day. Thank you for everything that I am going through, for all the abundance of love that I have, for my beautiful house in Florida, and for my health.”
I can still remember it clearly as if it was yesterday. December of 2019 was when I began to read The Secret. In February 2020 I was walking with a walker and by June 2020, I was using a cane and losing the extra weight I had gained.
In September of 2020, I woke up at 3:30 am with a sudden urge to find my house in Florida. I bought a plane ticket and called a realtor, Mr. Claudangelo, from Remax Blue Water. It was totally crazy how it happened because I did not know anything about how it was going to happen but I knew I was going to purchase my home. The search took 3 days and nights. Finally, on the 3rd day, the Universe gave me a sign. I told Claudangelo that we were going the correct way. Mind you, I don’t know anything about Florida but I knew we were going the right way. The sign was my birthday. When we got to the office, my birthday numbers popped up again. This time as the office address. I saw the house as it was being built but I felt at home. I told them this is it. I am not looking any further. The house I dreamed of in my dreams. I saw how it looked and that was what I saw in that house.
However, the next time I saw the house it was complete but it had not been painted with the color in my dream. I brushed it off and kept going through the process. It was simply one problem after another problem, and I lost the house.
I cried but on the 3rd day we began to search and that is when I found my dream house. A block away from the first house and with the same block name. Right then at that moment, I looked up and said thank you for my house! In February of 2021, I moved into my home and I am so happy and appreciative of what I was granted. The Secret works if you believe in it and I am a believer. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
