A Personal Journey With Law of Attraction:
How I Successfully Attracted the Life I Didn’t Want

A Personal Journey With Law of Attraction:
How I Successfully Attracted the Life I Didn’t Want
by Sherine Leong

I have kept this experience close to my heart and only made known to a selected few. During the Law of Attraction workshop organised by Kelab Minda Malaysia in early 2024, I shared a short snippet of my experience which to my surprise, left many feeling inspired and uplifted. So, I felt compelled to share my story more widely, with the intention to ignite hope and guidance in others.

I have been on a great achievement spree over the recent years and most of these accolades were something that I could never have dreamed off. And, when I talk about what I do, many are in awe and trust that I am a successful entrepreneur with a hefty collection of achievements along the way… but my journey in life was far from who I am today.

A LOOK BACK

My life about a decade ago bore little resemblance to what it is today. In 2014, I found myself navigating through the aftermath of a messy divorce, shouldering the responsibilites of single mother while grappling with a dire financial crisis in hand.

I was living from paycheck to paycheck and I faced many moments of acute scarcity. I was not able to afford a necessary dental procedure to surgically remove an infected wisdom tooth. I even could not afford to buy my client a RM10 cup of coffee, as I barely had enough for the parking fee. I was at the brink of being sued for bankruptcy as my then-husband incurred loans under my name without committing to the repayments. Stress and anxiety became overwhelming which affected all areas of my life - my financial stability, my overall health and wellbeing were compromised.

Fast-forward to Mother’s Day in 2017 and like any other year, my family and I had a lovely celebration - enjoyed a good meal, snapped some family photos and soaked up the feel-good moment with my loved ones. In a split second, the next thing I knew I was having difficulty breathing. It started as an asthma attack but my inhaler didn’t ease my condition. My condition quickly escalated and within 15 minutes, I was gasping for air. Noticing that I was in a critical state, my sister called up an ambulance and I was rushed to the nearest hospital. Morphine was injected so that I could be intubated and I was in a coma for 3 days.

While in my unconscious state, my daughter, who was 10 at that time, posted on her Facebook wishing me a Happy Mother’s Day. When I woke up and was recovering in the hospital, she wrote a heartfelt post that brought tears to my eyes. She wrote “Mom, you taught me everything, except how to live without you”. As she tagged me, my friends liked and commented on the post, oblivious to the fact that I might not make it out alive. My vitals were not favourable but it was a miracle that I survived.

THE TURNING POINT

After my discharge from the hospital, my situation did not improve. I suffered from anxiety attacks which affected my commitment for work. Gradually, my friends found out about my condition and sent me floral bouquets to offer comfort and hope. They were such beautiful arrangements and looking at them, gave me immense peace. It was a nice break from the constant worry and anxiety in my mind - this was my turning point.

I started a hobby by enrolling in a floral arrangement course with the small savings I had and to cover back the fees, I sold my own arrangements. After I completed the course, I felt so accomplished and I started to feel optimistic about the prospects of my life. I began signing up for more programs e.g. investment, self-development and etc. I started exercising regularly and I made it a point to pair every workout with an inspiring and motivational podcast.

I began to carve out paths to financial stability and personal growth. The progress was slow but I saw progression; I was celebrating an increase in income, I had better relationships with my family and a newfound sense of purpose. At this point however, I had no knowledge about the Law of Attraction.

DISCOVERING THE LAW OF ATTRACTION

My journey with the Law of Attraction (LOA) began unexpectedly when I picked up a book called the Master Key System by Charles Haanel. It was here that I realised the LOA happens 100% of the time. Whatever you consistently think of, the LOA will manifest it. I learnt that the LOA does not choose sides, does not care whether your thoughts are positive or negative, it will fairly respond to what you constantly think of.

That was a jolt of awakening for me as I recalled back my past experiences and I realised I had attracted all the incidents in my life - the financial crisis, the compromised health and even the failed relationship. I realised how my own negative thoughts had played a role in perpetuating cycles of hardship and adversity. The LOA made me clearly see that the results of my experiences were projections made from my internal mindset. This prompted me that in order to turn my life around, I needed to intentionally facilitate a shift in my perspective.

I saw an ad by Signature Market about the LOA and enrolled in it, so that I can understand it better and to be among like-minded people who practiced the LOA too. The program was so profound to me and I had better distinctions and clarity on how the LOA operated. Armed with this newfound understanding, I embarked on a journey of self-transformation. I replaced self-defeating beliefs with affirmations of abundance and gratitude. I actively used the RESET app developed by The LOA Centre (M) Sdn Bhd, I cultivated healthy habits, and surrounded myself with positive influences. Although I still encounter challenges, this intentional focus on positivity yielded tangible results – from financial success to unexpected incidents that were short of a miracle! It wasn’t until I delved deeper into the principles and techniques of the LOA, that I truly embraced its transformative power.

THE PATH FORWARD

As I continue to navigate life's twists and turns, I've come to realize that the key lies in maintaining a steadfast commitment to positivity. Through daily practices like meditation, visualisation, and inspired action, I reaffirm my belief in the abundance that surrounds me. Though the journey is ongoing, I'm filled with hope and gratitude for the transformative power of the Law of Attraction in my life.

CONCLUSION

In closing, I'm reminded of a profound statement from the Master Key System: "You have nothing to do but to convince yourself of the truth which you desire to see manifested." My journey is a testament to the profound impact of shifting one's mindset from negativity to positivity, from lack to abundance.
