Then
True Love Comes, was a title that came unexpectedly. Someone that I
had just met took my palm and told me "You must trust in someone
even though it is risky to trust in this person, then true love
comes."
That
shocked me. This message told me that it was not only about finding that
true love in someone else who will come, but it was about not trusting my own
heart. And this reveals the deepest truth -- that I did not even open up to my own heart to love myself, so how could anyone else truly love me?
(No, he
was not trying to hit on me. That was a gay man who took my palm.)
I have been a student of spiritual and
personal development for years. The book that most impacted me years
ago, when I was fervently searching for answers after my fiance left me, was
Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsh. From there I was influenced
by spiritual & motivational gurus and authors like Deepak
Chopra, Paulo Coelho, Abraham Hicks, Bashar, Louise Hays, Pam Grout, Sonia
Choquette, T. Harv Eker, Anthony Robbins, Dale Carnegie, Zig Ziglar to name a
few.
I graduated from Western Michigan
University with a major in Production (Communication) and minor in Journalism.
Trained in piano and ballet throughout childhood, I loved the performing arts
and was a regular on stage.
For the past 20 years, I worked as a producer
director of many entertainment and reality shows, from high-profile Wheel of
Fortune to Fear Factor, to beauty pageants, talent competitions, reality shows,
gameshows, dramas & tv movies in my home country.
What Happened To Me
Recently, I suffered through a difficult
project resulting not only in loss of money for my company but also in loss of
self confidence, and found myself at one of the lowest points of my
professional life, without monetary support.
It was then that I came clean with how I felt
about my life. My career had not given me satisfaction for years. People know
me as a Producer all my career. But I had lost my bliss. And I
believe in the universal Law of Attraction which was so apparent in bringing me
the negative situations that I kept facing.
I didn't only want to spend days and
nights as a behind-the-scenes Producer, a stressful job managing big teams and
big budgets, and being relevant only to providing services to the industry. I
also wanted to touch the world through my personal experiences, beliefs and
through my own creative work. This required me to go back to the rooms
of past indulgence and search for bliss that has been shelved away --
creative writing & music.
Now,
with my background as a Producer, how was I going to produce my own life the
way I successfully styled and branded my shows? And if our life were a movie,
then each of us, surely, is the star of our life movie. How do I be the star of
my own life, one who experiences True Love?
