Opening The Secret
Submitted by: Julesa717
WP, ColoradoI live in the mountains in a beautiful place. I guess I have known about The Secret for years, but never actually knew the name. I am so thankful for everything in my life.
About a week ago I was trying to find a movie to watch on Netflix and I stumbled upon The Secret. As soon as it was complete I ordered the book and subsequently read it cover to cover on the day it arrived. For my entire life my mother told me to send energy towards things you want and they will come to you. She never actually called this The Secret”, it was just a way of thinking.
The movie and book struck a cord with me and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since. The book also inspired me to write out a $30 check to a past colleague who is battling Breast Cancer without health insurance. As I wrote the check I sent her energy filled with health and love and felt feelings of gratitude for the health I currently have.
This morning I had a 7:00am meeting at work. I usually look towards these meetings with dread. I am so tired and this tired feeling lasts throughout the entire day. As I went to bed last night, however, I envisioned myself waking up happy and refreshed. I went to bed saying words of gratitude for all the things in my life; namely the fact that I have a job to wake up and go to.
This morning I woke up at 5:20am, 25 minutes before my alarm was to go off. I felt awake and energized. As I walked into the meeting, I said words of gratitude for the environment around me, the beautiful mountains, the clean air, and the fact I get to wake up every day and see these things. After the meeting, I had to run an errand with a co-worker. I work for a ski resort, therefore we are very busy on the weekends. Every time I have had to run an errand on a Saturday, it takes me a lot of time to find a parking space when I return. I usually have to drive around multiple parking lots until finding a spot.
While we were on the errand, I was talking about The Secret with my co-worker. As we approached the closest parking lot to the resort, I thought I would try to manifest a spot. There were two cars in front of us looking for spots too. I told her we should start thinking about an open spot that we would pull into. I told her we had to see ourselves already in the spot. Like magic, the spot appeared and the two cars in front of us didn’t see it. I thought this may be coincidence, but also was in a bit of shock. I then told her that in the book it said to start on something small to manifest because sometimes that is easier. I said I was going to manifest a dollar.
For the next couple of hours I thought about the dollar. I thought about holding it in my hand and feeling it between my fingers. I thought that the dollar was already mine. About midday, I felt the need to clean my office. As I was cleaning I kept finding change. At $0.92 I sent an email to my co-worker to let her know how close I was to my goal of $1. I then thought I would rearrange a spot that I had already cleaned. I had already looked at this spot before, but then sitting on the floor was a quarter that I didn’t see before. This put me at $1.17. This gave me chills down my spine. Not only did I get the $1, but the lucky number that has followed me through my life is 17, and this is the exact amount of change over the dollar.
I then started really thinking about money. I started to think about how I was a money magnet and money was attracted to me. I felt it with all my soul and being. As I was driving home, I felt the need to stop at the post office. In my town, you must go there to get your mail. Usually, however, my husband picks up the mail. I felt this urge, however, to go get the mail. As I went through the mail in the box, I thought that I must be crazy. I would absolutely be shocked if money was in the mail. Then I saw a bill from Sprint. This was unusual as we haven’t used Sprint for about nine months. As I opened the bill, I was stunned. It was not a bill at all. It was a statement saying they owed us $35.18. The universe returned to me the $30 I sent to my past colleague and then some.
I now know the power of The Secret and am excited to use it more. The Secret is mysterious and amazing and all I can say is thank you.
