The Key Ingredient After Being Rejected.

For the people who are about to give up, please read this!
First of all, I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to Rhonda and The Secret Team. You have no idea just how much you changed my life.
I am a 23 year old girl who applied for a job in one of the biggest, most famous, companies in my country. Everyone, especially the young, fresh graduating ones, wants to get into this company.
So I send out 6 CVs before they called me for the first interview. The funny thing was, 3 days before I got the call from the HR, I lied to my best friends, who also applied to the same company, that I had already been asked to go in for an interview on Wednesday. Sure enough, the dream company called me two days later and asked me to come in on WEDNESDAY. So I asked for the easiest, simplest interview and of course I got one! The first interview turned into a job test and then turned into a second interview.
This is when it got harder. The interviewer was a bit cold, and seemingly unfocused. I was nervous, and asked stupid questions. The interview was so short and disappointing that I nearly cried when I walked out of the office.
The following two weeks were living hell. I didn’t hear from them. But I kept practicing and forcing myself to believe in The Secret.
“Forcing” is the keyword here! Here is what I did during the two weeks:
1. I listened to 3 subliminals a day.
2. I visualized everywhere I went.
3. I said my affirmation every chance I got.
4. Bought stuff for my future office.
So after two weeks on a Friday, I sent a follow up email asking what was the status of my application. And I heard from them on the same day and they told me that my qualification is not what they are looking for at the moment.
You know, I received that email when I was about to pay for a whiteboard that I intended to put at my job desk. Imagine how I felt! I felt so stupid. I purchased this and that for my “job”, but then they rejected me. I couldn’t stop thinking of what went wrong.
Then I realized, I did too much of The Secret method. It was like I didn’t believe that I would get the job, so I kept “forcing” myself to do as much methods as possible. So I decided to let go.
On the next day, Saturday, I decided not to go out and instead, I stayed home. I searched on YouTube for a meditation to help me let go and SURRENDER. I meditated and prayed that night. Not for the job though, but to put all my life and dreams out for the Universe to handle. I let myself cry myself to sleep.
I woke up with a light heart, knowing the universe will never betray me. I stopped with the subliminals and the affirmations.
Don’t get me wrong, for some people these methods might work, but for me, the worrier, letting go is a better way.
Today is Monday, and I replied to the rejection email with a happy heart. I was grateful, nevertheless. After I replied to the email, I asked the universe to send me a yellow butterfly. It was needed to strengthen my faith.
A half of an hour later:
The company called me.
They apologized for sending me the rejection email, and decided that I am back into their recruitment process and will be interviewed with the director of the company.
I was speechless.
This is not just a coincidence. IT JUST SIMPLY CANâT BE.
And guess what?
An hour later, I was thirsty and even though I had a glass filled with water just next to me, so I decided to go outside of my room to refill the already filled glass. When I was refilling my glass, I looked straight ahead. Then there it was!
My yellow butterfly. First and only one I had ever seen! And then another one came in, and then another one came. Three butterflies were dancing in front of me!
I cannot stress this enough. Law of attraction works. It’s an individual trial and error though. One method that works for another, might not work for you.
If you are like me who finds constant affirmation and visualization does not work, please just let go. Surrender yourselves to the Universe. Believe in your heart that the universe will never betray you.
I would like to say thanks to who ever wrote the story “The job I’ve Always Dreamed About!” on this site’s The Secret Stories section. He too was rejected by his dream company, but then prayed and surrendered. He then received an email saying the company reconsidered him again. It was because of his story that I decided to just let go. Thank you so much for inspiring me, and helping me to finally understand when to let go.
Guys, it works.
This is the “letting go” meditation that helps me surrender:
Just listen and meditate to this once every now and then, but with all of your heart and soul.
I also recommend you guys to read The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. It is absolutely beautiful and magnificent. You will learn a lot about the law of attraction.
Sending all my love to you.
Love,
