I would like to write a post about keeping a positive
attitude and exemplifying this positivity to the universe to help obtain what
you want. There have been so many instances in this past couple years when this
has been proven true over and over. For example about two years ago I really
wanted to start playing soccer again. I put that thought into the universe and
about a week later I saw an ad for a company that was hiring to coach youth soccer!
I was thrilled, applied, and have been working for the company for almost two
years and absolutely love it. More recently I really wanted to find out what
apartment I was going to be living in the next year. About a day ago I put the
thought into the universe and received the news of my apartment today! I have
many other examples where this is true as well.
If you want something all you have to do is keep a positive
attitude and put your thoughts out into the universe. It may not come immediately
however with a positive attitude you can achieve or obtain whatever you want.
Every time I have done the opposite I have not gotten what I had set out to
achieve.
Perhaps the most influential time positivity into the
universe has helped me was when I found out that I was accepted into Western
University of Health Sciences. If you would have talked to me about this
graduate school a year ago I would have no idea what you were talking about. I
recently found out about this gem of a school about mid-August of last year
when I was in the process of applying to all sort of graduate schools for
nursing. I was set on CSUF, UCLA, or University of Rochester however I was
exploring other universities as well. While I was searching I happened to see
Western U and grew curious about it. I noticed that Western had an upcoming
preview day so I signed up to see what the school was all about. I attended the
preview day and as the day progressed I felt a stronger and stronger desire
that this was THE school for me. In a nursing MSN-E workshop I discovered that
each year a select few applicants that stand out above the rest are chosen to
be early entry students. The minute I heard about that I set out to be one of
those exemplary applicants. I immediately went home and wrote my personal statement.
I already had great grades and just needed to complete some additional hours at
the hospital I was volunteering at. I submitted my application and waited for
about 3 months. On paper three months seems like a short time however it seemed
like an eternity! In mid-January I received an email and my heart dropped when
I read the subject line, "Early Acceptance Opportunity Day". My heart
was beating so fast from excitement that I had to read the email about 5 times
before it sank in. I was chosen to come to an early acceptance day in lieu of a
formal interview. I was so thrilled that I immediately responded that I would
attend.
The day came and I was extremely nervous so I got to the
school about an hour early and just waited in my car. While I was waiting I
actually received a call from the University of Rochester informing me that I had
been accepted into the Rochester nursing program that was about to begin in
May. I was thrilled with this good news however I really still wanted to attend
Western. I finally walked into the building and only saw a couple other name
tags on the check in table and proceeded upstairs to the conference room we
were meeting. We had a delicious complimentary breakfast and started the day.
After introductions we found out the school chose 7 applicants to attend this
event out of a total of 566 that applied. This statement absolutely thrilled me
and we proceeded with the day. Again just
like preview day I fell even more in love with the school the more I learned
about it. I left the early entry day and waited for what seemed like an
eternity when in reality it was probably 3 weeks.
The day I was accepted I opened my emails expecting nothing
and there it was an email with the subject line, “MSNE ACCEPT.” I opened the
email to confirm that I was accepted and I screamed so loud and kept on jumping
up and down. The feeling of euphoria lasted about a day or two and it was by
far the best feeling I have ever experienced. This story clearly shows that if
you put out your desires into the universe and maintain a positive attitude you
will be able to achieve what you want. I am so excited to begin this journey in
about two months!!
