No, Robert Townsend is not my Daddy but he was my Dad’s favorite comedian. My Dad passed away 2 years ago and his death really made me wake up and begin to understand THE SECRET for the very first time. I was raised Catholic by parents that were more spiritual than religious. However, my mom does love her saints and one of the saints she would always tell us to pray to was Saint Jude. So, I kept the prayer to St Jude in my wallet in my back pocket (not a purse, ya’ll already know, smile). Anyway, the prayer on the little card is the “prayer for hopeless cases”. When my Dad passed, I took the prayer out of my back pocket and began to read it over and over again because I was a mental wreck and… a HOPELESS CASE so I thought. Wow, I DIDN’T”T KNOW THE SECRET. First of all, THAT prayer did not help me at all!!!! You cannot carry your faith in your back pocket, just like you can’t only carry it to church on Sunday. You have to LIVE your prayer. Imagine if every-time, you said the words “hot mess” or were tempted to talk negatively about someone, you simply replaced it with a more positive thought or action. Every-time, I got sad about my dad, I replaced it with a positive thought, a funny story, a memorable moment. In a short time I became entrenched in the GOODNESS of the life he had lived, I was able to celebrate it and share it with others.
NOW FOR THE SECOND PART OF THIS ENTRY’S SECRET. I began to focus on other things I wanted to happen, I saw how easily I was able to ease the pain of my dad’s death once I changed my thoughts. It was startling! Try this out, take one hour out of your day and write down all of the thoughts that pop into your head, you will be amazed. Most of us don’t realize how NEGATIVE we really are. Change comes from within and it doesn’t cost anything for us to make it happen! I know my dads light and positive energy are within me. Find out what energy is within you to reveal YOUR TRUE SECRET TO HAPPINESS!
