What you tell yourself every day will lift you up or tear you down. Choose wisely."
Unknown
If you are able to envision your desire in your mind and make them the primary focus in your mind, if you think often enough and truly believe, it will become a reality in your life.
This is the power of the most powerful law, your thoughts become things.
Remind yourself and allow it to penetrate into your awareness and consciousness: thoughts become things! Yes, thoughts, action, and faith become things.
If you want to change anything in your life, simply change your thinking and your life will ultimately change to match .
Now, I observe the children happily playIng in my garden from my room window, while I remember the life-changing incident that took place roughly a year ago.
I was deeply sad and frustrated: I found myself thinking about suicide the day the incident occurred. I did not know who was to blame for my situation: my family, my husband, or my own weakness.
My life was dictated by the question: Why was this happening to me? I was an ambitious and attractive girl, who loved to draw, and I dreamed of studying art.
My life changed with my father's insistence that I marry a young man from a well-established family who had impressive credentials of a successful career and had a big
.house.
My dreams shifted, and I began to live the life of an obedient wife In order to earn her husband’s love, but our married life was dry and absent of love and affection, bombarded with feelings of solitude, with problems,
criticism, and belittling dominating our lives. Once the 'dream' of drawing returned, we as a family began to talk about having kids, and again I thought differently to fulfill their wishes.
All my attempts to become pregnant were unsuccessful. Then, one summer vacation, while heading to the beach, we had an argument in the car, and the car flipped over, leaving me in the hospital completely paralyzed.
I had shattered my spine, broken my first and second cervical vertebrae, and damaged my swallowing reflex. I could not eat or drink, I had also damaged my diaphragm, leaving me incapable of breathing properly, and I had my uterus removed
. The only thing I could do was blink my eyes. The doctors said that I would, of course, live the rest of my life in a vegetative state.
I could do nothing but blink my eyes. That’s the image they fit me into. But I didn’t care what they saw; the thing that mattered was what I saw and believed.
I thought I would go back to my normal self, to drawing again, that I would walk out of the hospital on my own two feet. My only work in the hospital was my mind, and when you have control of your mind, everything has a place.
I was on a ventilator and they told me I’d never breathe on my own whenever again due to the
.damage to my diaphragm.
But three months after the crash my husband wanted a split. My mind turned away from my aim and I sank into sadnes͏s and anger, and the idea of ending it all took over my thoughts.
I began to think about who was at fault for what occurred to me, my dad who pushed me to wed a person I didn't know, or my spouse who treated me like an object in his life, or my own failure in letting go of my dream and giving in to the wants of my dad, family and husband.
I took a bit of time feeling sad, then I made up my mind to get back up and make a new aim. I chose to go to his wedding on my own two feet and being in good health.
I aimed to leave the hospital by the new year and go to my ex-husband wedding, and I didn’t let any bad thoughts take over me.
My thoughts and energy were entirely devoted to my recovery.
I vividly pictured myself drawing again, holding the paintbrush in my hand, feeling the colors merging together, and experiencing the profound joy of completing a painting—even if only in my imagination. In those moments, it was as though I had truly painted it, absorbing every detail, every stroke.
Even after losing my uterus and coming to terms with the reality that I could never have children, I refused to succumb to negative emotions like despair or frustration.
Instead, I allowed my heart and mind to envision a different reality. I imagined having a beautiful daughter—a child who would kiss and hug me, calling me “Mom.” In my mind’s eye, I saw her walking to school hand in hand with me.
I envisioned us running and playing together, exploring creativity by drawing and blending colors side by side. These thoughts filled me with joy and an indescribable sense of fulfillment.
I chose to forgive my husband and genuinely wished him happiness in his new married life. I didn't let my thoughts drift into the painful corners of the past.
Through meditation, I learned to take control of my mind—it became the one thing that consistently listened to me. I trained it to focus on thoughts that were positive and uplifting, redirecting any negativity before it could take hold.
My priority was to think of happiness, to dream of healing, and to keep my gaze fixed firmly on the goal of full recovery.
After a year of perseverance, I walked out of the hospital unaided and attended my ex-husband's wedding, where I wished him a happy married life.
Those who saw me walking again were stunned, claiming it was nothing short of a miracle. Determined to move forward with my life, I decided to adopt a child.
My initial attempts were disheartening as several orphanages declined my application. However, I refused to succumb to despair and instead reached out to another group of orphanages, sharing my journey of recovery in my messages.
That decision marked a pivotal moment in my life. It led to the adoption of my beautiful daughter, followed by the creation of a small school in my garden where I could teach children the joy of drawing.
I still remember walking hand-in-hand with her on her first day of school, a moment etched into my heart.
Today, as I gaze out of my window, I see children laughing and playing in the garden alongside my daughter. My heart is filled with gratitude and joy for all the twists and turns that brought me here.
For anyone enduring pain or hardship right now, let me condense what I’ve learned: "A person is but the product of their thoughts," as Maurice Goodman, the Miracle Man, once said.
Recognize the immense power within you to transform your life through your thoughts. Every challenge can become an opportunity for growth.
Often, people fail to achieve their desires because they dwell more on what they fear or don’t want than on what they truly hope for.
Be mindful of the words you speak and the thoughts you nurture—your mind cannot distinguish between what you want and don’t want; it simply amplifies your predominant focus.
Everything in your life Is connected to the energy of your thoughts. The dominant ideas circulating in your mind will attract similar ones, shaping your reality In alignment with those beliefs.
Choose your thoughts wisely—they hold the power to direct your life onto the path you desire .
What you ask for, you should thank God for your faith and your belief in His ability, and to best your subconscious mind, where you can control it alone and control your thoughts and feelings.
No matter how much adversity is, God has given you a supernatural force in your control, which you can make your adversity into opportunity.
The only thing that worked for me was my mind. Through my faith in God's power and my control over my thoughts, I was able to change fate that all doctors, friends and family agreed - that I would like to live the rest of my life and wait for euthanasia.
But what I said, heard or didn't believe it. Instead, I focused on the idea of proper health, returned to the drawing and raised a wonderful child. And in fact, with my brain, I achieved impossible and got what I asked for
How to Turn Adversity into a Gift
Your life is in your hands, regardless of where you are or what has happened to you In your life. You can consciously choose your thoughts and change your life.
No situation is hopeless; you can use your free will to choose your thoughts.
First, define your goal and focus your thoughts
Remember that your thoughts are the primary cause of everything. So, when a persistent, recurring thought takes over, it creates an emotion opposite to that thought itself.
No one else chooses your thoughts or feels your feelings for you
Control Your Mind
One way to control your mind is to learn how to calm it using meditation, where you focus on the present moment.
Meditation brings stillness to your mind and helps you control your thoughts
This method allows you to control your thoughts, as nothing can become part of your experience unless you invite it through your constant thoughts
Believe
View the things you desire as if you already possess them. I always imagined myself in perfect health, drawing, and my daughter playing beside me.
I imagined it as if it were so real I could touch it. I felt happy, content, and joyful as I imagined it
With faith, imagination, and my feelings of happiness and contentment, I was able to forgive my ex-husband, and this increased my improvement as my thoughts and feelings were positive.
How do you reach the point of belief?
Start with imagination
Visualize your success. When you visualize, you will begin to believe and believe that you have received what you are asking for.
All your dominant thoughts will be of the same type as your request. For this reason, after you set your goal, focus your thoughts on this goal, and learn how to control your mind and make your thoughts the sole dominant thought, with imagination and faith, you will receive what you want. Get ready and watch the magic. Finally, praise
When you believe that God will fulfill your desires, you must thank God for your faith in Him and your trust in His ability, and for giving you your subconscious mind, which you alone can control, your thoughts, and your feelings.
No matter your ordeal, God has given you a supernatural power within your control, enabling you to transform your ordeal into a better one
The only thing that worked for me was my mind, and through my faith in God's ability and my control over my thoughts, I was able to change the fate of all the doctors, friends, and family. They all agreed that I would live the rest of my life bedridden, awaiting a merciful death.
But I neither listened nor believed what they said. Instead, I focused my mind on the Idea of achieving complete health, returning to drawing, and raising a wonderful child. Indeed, with my mind, I achieved the impossible and obtained what I asked for.
"You can’t stop negative thoughts from popping into your head, but you can choose to stop letting them control you and your life."
