The Secret Works

Okay, I’ve been a bit skeptical of all the much-hyped DVD and book, The Secret, but I tried it and it worked–I think. If you read my previous post about my hellish home repair experience–painted kitchen counters–you know I’ve been going through a rough time. Not to mention losing my brother-in-law and finding out my sister has breast cancer all in the same week. I’m a firm believer in the principles in The Science of Getting Rich–see previous post and links for more information about that free e-book that changed my life. But when life throws curves at you and you’re stuck thinking you attrracted it all (according to The Secret, we attract everything to us even the bad) it gets kind of hard to believe. I mean I just wanted to have nice new kitchen counters, so why did mine turn out to be worse than before? Maybe because I lost confidence in the workers who were in charge. They left my counters a wreck and we didn’t know what to do since there was no more money in the budget to fix it.
So, last night, my husband and I watched The Secret again after viewing it once last fall. Well, I decided to picture my counters the way I wanted them, no matter what they currently looked like. Today, I had a call from the contractor saying he’s willing to install new countertops–which is what we wanted all along–on top of our newly destroyed ones–at no cost to us. Wow! I was shocked because this guy had been anything but willing to help us before. Now, without even a phone call from us, he says he’ll fix the problem. And when I called my husband at work to tell him, he told me he got a call for a job interview next week–without having to submit a resume or anything! That was fantastic news because my husband hates his current job. He had been layed off from a great job three years ago and now three new jobs opened up in his fromer place of employment and my husband is first in line to get one. I’m thrilled!
Was this some kind of magic because we watched The Secret last night and decided to put it to work? I can’t say for sure, but it is a big coincidence otherwise. I prefer to think that we’re changing our luck by changing our thinking. Of course, The Secret is not the only self-improvement tool I’ve used in the recent months, and I will get into the others in upcoming posts. But this news is too good not to share. Perhaps I should have saved it for my upcoming Healing the Easy Way blog!
Until next time, be prepared for the best!
