Everyone Asks Me How?! It’s The Secret
Submitted by: Kly
BrasilI am a translator and entrepreneur grateful for all that God has done for me!! My 'movie life' and adventures confirm that if you just believe... it is all yours!
I was introduced to The Secret four years ago, however I only started to put it into practice one year later…oh boy, how things changed!
Growing up I always knew that I wanted to live a life so great and exciting that it could be made into a movie! I lived in my imagination and made many plans for the future. However, (and although) I grew up in a fantastic family who always supported me and we had so much fun together, we did not know ‘The Secret’, yet. I was taught that to achieve my dreams I would have to rely on some luck and study very hard to get into a good college to then get a good job etc… to then FINALLY fund the life I wanted. To me this did not make sense! So long story short:
I wanted so badly to live in Italy ever since I was a little girl but didn’t know how I would do this. At 17 I applied The Secret and found a job online as an English teacher.
I did the interview on line and they loved me and accepted me on the spot! 3 months later I was there. I was living in a huge apartment right infront of the beach and could not believe how my life had changed so dramatically!
I made amazing life long friends, learnt the language and a few months later was offered the same job but in ROME! The CAPITAL. My dream! And what’s even better, when I went for the interview, I visualised them offering me double the salary I was currently earning and less working hours. I knew it was crazy but WHY NOT?! Within 15 minutes of interview we had settled on DOUBLE THE SALARY AND HALF THE WORKING HOURS!
Ok, so I think it can’t get any better but wait… don’t stop reading just yet.
Now I must find an apartment to live. I decided that I want to live in the Center of the city. I know that rents there are crazy high but that meant nothing to me! I settle that I will find one near my job and a good price. THE NEXT DAY I found one RIGHT INFRONT OF MY WORK and at an amazing price! I am so excited and cannot believe it!! I call up ready to close the deal and he says ‘Sorry, I forgot to take the advert down. It’s already been rented’
My heart is crushed. The other option was 30 minutes walking distance and as a 19 year old girl working late I didn’t like that option. However, I didn’t give up. I believed that if that wasn’t the perfect apartment for me then my perfect one must be just arriving!
TWO DAYS LATER the owner of the apartment called back and says the girl who was going to rent there decided that infact she didn’t want to live there and if I wanted, the apartment was mine! I WAS SPEECHLESS! I moved in one week later, made great friends in the area, went out every night to do something fun and different and can say I literally glowed with happiness and gratitude!
I will finish the story here for now but believe me, this was just the beginning of my life there!! Each and every time I spoke to my friends back at home and new ones in Italy they always asked me ‘How do you have this life?’ I always said ‘God is good! and can I recommend that you read a book called The Secret…’
I hope this helps you to believe a little more in what God is willing and ready to do for you if you just believe!
I really recommend writing down all the things you want. A few weeks back I found a piece of paper I had written a couple of years back detailing exactly what had happened to me in Italy.
All the best and I hope to be reading your story hear soon!
