"Doing this program was a guidance"

I just turned 21 on this 16th of may, it's very right of me to say that I started this quest when I was 20 years old. 

So, Since as far as I could remember, I'd a very complex childhood(now I know, it's for a reason). I was seriously bullied in the school by other students ad teachers as well for being fat/chubby and being a below average student, suffered serious depression due to this! even thought of suiciding with a date planned for it(a day before my final exams) and these instances ruined my positive belief system, I remember not able to sleep at night(would get nightmares). 

But there were instances also that made me feel like I'm the chosen one, I'm special, my future and destiny is bright- that's how my teenage life was. Then, I turned 18 having strong conflict in my mind, I'm a college student now, wanted a different field Bachelor of Business Administration/BBA (now I know it's for a means goal, what I truly wanted was a great company of friends) but ended up doing Arts(psychology), couldn't get enough marks(sucked badly at accounts and in rest scored my level best!). initially, I thought, my life sucks now, I won't able to have a college life, the way I wanted it to be! Now I believe, it's Universe which brought me where I had to be(the things which I study, very very cool! and interesting!!! I never thought I'd say it.lol). the conflict was still there until I read the book, "THE SECRET". I applied its principles in my life, for instance, I wanted the newly launched Apple AirPods(was the coolest thing to be owned, 2 years back), i asked universe for it, visualised it! 5 minutes after doing that, my existing headphones(then) stopped working, boom! my mind exploded and that was my moment of awakening!! there were times when I used to feel sad or needed answers for something and I would gets quotes popped up on my phones very screen and I'd consider it and answer or guidance from the universe!(this happened mostly sitting in toilet scrolling through Instagram, it's very embarrassing me writing this). lastly, the biggest issue of conflict was, should I join my father's very very successful business(after grad. still perusing it) or not, it wasn't like I was passionate about it since my childhood( like they show in the movies), instead, I found it boring(my belief at the age of 19-20). Shift to now, I somehow I know i'm good at this(doing business), I believe it's the business-genes which I get from my father(if, make any sense), I seriously believe that, the best part is my intuition, which I learned( I knew there's an inner voice I had but never trusted it until now!) says the same to me. 

Again, I feel, doing this program was a guidance or the direction given to me by the Universe and I know there's no stopping now! THANK YOU A ZILLION TIMES!!! note: I apologise for the length, but it's like writing what I feel. Kindly, understand.
