Part I – I won $10,000, going to $250,000
Submitted by: Maria Cloete
Diller, Nebraska, United StatesI am 30 years old, mother of two, originally from South Africa.
Beginning of 2007, my new years resolutions was to just make this MY year. On January 1st, I focused just on being positive. I only did what made me feel good.
I hadn’t heard of or read The Secret at that time. In January I enrolled into a transformation contest. That was something I did for me. 10 days later this company called me on a Friday afternoon from Canada. They told me, you are in! And then they said I need to go to Canada. But I couldn’t. I prayed and asked everyone I know around the globe to pray for me. Monday afternoon they called me to tell me there was a change in plans – the photo shoot will be in Miami. I just believed. I went to Miami, transformed, and lost lots of pounds.
Then I entered into ANOTHER transformation contest. The prize money was $10,000. When you win, the company come to your house to film your family and have a interview with you.
I just walked in belief and gratitude 24/7. But I didn’t feel happy with my house to be in video, live for my whole family in South Africa to see. So, I painted my house, I painted my kitchen, I picked my clothes I would wear on the interview, and I told everybody I am going to win that!
They laughed at me as suspected. I would call my husband during the day, and would ask him if they didn’t call yet to tell me I won. When I opened my eyes in the morning, I said Thank You! When I closed my eyes, I said Thank You.
I entered 3 months. June, July, and August.
September 13, I got a call from MDB. I won $10,000. And guess what – I was prepared for them! They set a date to come and do the interview, and I was ready!
When I was in Miami, I met a lady that told me about The Secret. We keep in contact via email. She lived by it, day by day. She did accomplish her goals, and more.
Two weeks ago, I contacted her again, asking her about The Secret. She told me, you would never make a mistake. So, I bought The Secret DVD. I watched it. I knew I needed to make this a part of my everyday life, to grab every bit into my soul. I bought the Audiobook, and that allows me to listen to it every day. When I go to bed, my iPod is on my ears. I fall asleep with it on my ears. When I am at work, I listen to The Secret.
I’m now in a competition with 11 other women for $250,000. In the same transformation. When I won the $10,000 I was lost. I didn’t know how to go on in the race. Everyone told me I have a good chance, but I told them – NOPE.
Thanks to The Secret that arrived in my life due to a friend sent to me, I can now see how the Universe worked in my life in the past, without realizing it!
I have until January 31 2008 for my transformation. The drawing is in CA, the first week of March, 2008. Right now, I can see the check in my hand, I already think what I am going to say in my winning interview, I will write my interview in paper, and rehearse it every day, I can already smell the roses! I see the monopoly money falling from the sky, the ribbon they put over me.
I asked, I believe, and will receive.
Thank You to all the Teachers.
I’ll keep your name high!
