We are from a poor family, I was the only one who was earning a reasonable R6000 take-home salary at that time. In 2007 my wife, (who was not employed at that time) and I and realized that our 2 year old son was not feeling well one morning. We took him to the hospital where a doctor told us that our child has down syndrome, we never heard anything about it. We did not clinically test him and we were stressed for two weeks, my wife cried all the time.
I met a friend who gave me a DVD copy of The Secret. I watched it with my wife and for the first time, and a smile appeared on our faces. We tested it with playing lotto, won 450 bucks and we knew right away it was working. We started changing the way we think, the way approached life, we followed the three basic steps mentioned in the video, I printed one of the cheques in your website, wrote a salary of R15 000, visualized a spacious car with leather seats, and avoided all negative things like watching the news and reading newspapers.
We changed the way we looked at our son, we treated, disciplined him just like any child. We are often asked what did we do to him? He is well behaved. We then bought a Toyota Camry with leather seats, I got a call from an old friend to offer me a job in Cape Town that allowed me to spend more time with family, my salary was R13 500. We joined a support group were my wife, who also has only grade 11 education, volunteered at red cross children hospital and was asked to do counseling to new parents who have children with down syndrome.
I then wrote another cheque of R25 000, 00 as our target income. My wife was appointed as an administrator at down syndrome national head office where she earns R5 000 and I am starting a new job that will pay me R15 000 monthly. Our income is close to R25 000.
Thank you guys for such brilliant inspiration.
