My Leap of Faith
Submitted by: Cindy Sparks
Mooresville, NCI am a 38 yr old single mother of one.
It is now the beginning of November 2007. My story goes back a total of 15 years, when both of my parents died 20 days apart. I was 25 years old. Over the past year and a half I left a good stable job to open a business with a man I had a relationship with. In 5 months time he became physically abusive, my business was failing, I had spent all my retirement money on the business, and had moved 80 miles away from my home. I came back defeated and unable to get a full time job from December to June. I worked in a bar in the kitchen which gave me only enough money to feed my daughter and give my sister money for rent.
My life was in a shambles until I was given a copy of The Secret to watch. The first time I watched it I thought it was a load of garbage and left it sitting on top of my DVD player gathering dust. About a month later I picked it back up and watched it again, all the way through, and made some notes, thinking that I had nothing to lose by trying some of the suggestions made in the movie.
In May I had already paid for a trip to Charlotte NC to a Nascar race, and all I needed was the gas to get there and back, so I opted to go. I stayed in a tent near the track for a week and forged some really good friendships. While I was there I began doing all the gratitude exercises from the movie and I began to feel better in my heart every day. Every day I found more to be grateful for.
I had some really good job interviews when I came home, but to no avail, and I was getting desperate. I began watching the DVD daily, and each day I picked out something new to help inspire me to improve my situation.
In May I had enough of no jobs, and in June I made a leap of faith and relocated from OH to NC with no job and $400 to my name. It didn’t improve overnight but I ended up with the job I really wanted and had done before in OH. I lost my car in July to a bad car accident but my daughter and I lived without a scratch.
I found the love of my life. For the first time and 2 failed marriages later, I am head over heals in love and he feels the same. We met by chance and it was love from the start. I know in time I will have back everything I have lost, a house, a car, more than enough money, a life to die for, and it’s because I focus on the abundance in my life and the lessons “The Secret” taught me.
Thank you Rhonda and everyone who believed in this video, because I believe it has changed my life.
