I Continue To Attract What I Want
Submitted by: Amy L.
Orange County, CA.I have been applying The Secret here and there since 2006, and when I do, it really, really, really does work!
My story starts back in late 2007.
I had always wanted to travel to Japan but never had the means to do it or courage to go at it alone. An ex boyfriend of mine had given me a copy of The Secret DVD back in late 2006, though I never thought to apply it to my life until I realized I wasn’t living the life I wanted and knew I deserved.
While browsing the internet, I found a package for a 2 week tour in Japan with a small tour group of about 10-12 people and went ahead and booked it, even knowing I couldn’t afford it and hated traveling alone. I didn’t focus on the financial aspects of it and knew it would all work out in the end. During this time in my life, I wasn’t making the money I wanted nor doing a career I was happy with. Paying rent was getting tough and I started to focus on what I really wanted in my life. I began to really focus on what I really did want my life to be like.
Around that time, I met someone who I ended up becoming roommates with. He was able to afford a new, nice apartment and had an extra room that was offered to me at a reasonable rate. He owned a fabrication business and needed help and offered to pay me two times the amount I was making and working less time so I could do what I really wanted: coach soccer. The new apartment brought another opportunity to me: an Olympic size swimming pool. I had taught swimming lessons in the past and with having the swimming pool at my house, I was able to teach lessons and make more money.
Because of this new income, my Japan trip was paid off before I went. I had also always wanted a puppy but could never afford one and never lived where I was allowed to have one. There was one I had seen 2 years before that I fell in love with and wanted but knew I couldn’t have her. I had always thought of having that dog and how happy I would be with her. I wandered into a pet store one day, the same one I saw the dog I wanted years before in. There she was what I would say a replica of what I wanted in the past: Darla! I had the money to buy her and now a home to keep her in. I was so happy that my life was seemingly going so well!
HOWEVER – After my Japan trip in Nov. 2007, I had forgotten about The Secret! I had stopped using it in my every day life and my life started to fall apart. My roommate began to resent me and treat me horribly and I realized I had gotten myself into a bad situation. His intentions weren’t what I expected and I was forced to leave one night at 3:00am in terror for my life! I left with no more than $400 in my bank account, my dog and a backpack. I did however have a bedroom set that I later went back and got.
I cried for days, not knowing what happened to my life. . . . it had completely fallen apart, and I allowed it to happen! I had NO idea what I was going to do. Luckily, my parents allowed me to stay with them until I got back on my feet. The situation with the ex roommate became even worse after I moved out that I actually had to get a restraining order! I had to quit my jobs and start over.
At this point, I decided to watch The Secret day after day and start changing my thoughts. I had no job, barely any money and had feared for my life that this “crazy ex roommate” would find me. At first, I received a $2,000 check in the mail from an old job I had. About a week after that I received another check for about $2500 for coaching the year before. Already I was up to almost $5,000 BUT no job. I decided to look for an apartment on my own and didn’t think once that it was impossible with no job and little money. The first place I saw I loved but looked at about 10 more places which brought me back to the first one. It was empty, and I walked in, locked the door and lay down in the middle of the bedroom. I closed my eyes and imagined all my furniture in there, how it would look decorated with my things and how happy I would be living there and knew it would be mine.
When I went to the management office, they pretty much laughed at me that I couldn’t afford the $900/month rent and I had no job to prove I made money.
Within a month, I got 3 jobs! I had taken pictures of the apartment and manifested my thoughts on it the entire time. I went back and not to my surprise, it was available and I was approved! I had no furniture but what I had envisioned actually came into my life: a beautiful couch, coffee table, dining table and everything needed for a kitchen, and everything cost less than $200! I began to live my every day life according to The Secret from that point forward.
I began focusing on making double the amount I made in 2007 and it easily happened. I envisioned the perfect mate and he has now been a part of my life for over a year and a half. About 6 months ago I decided to move again, walked into a house I wanted to live in and again, used my power of attraction to get it. I now live in a million dollar house with my mate and sister and her family and couldn’t be happier. I also used the power of attraction to build a business that I started in Feb 2009. I started a mobile swim lesson business that generated more than $15,000 in less than 2 months! My business has so far been way more successful than I thought it could’ve been that I have saved enough money to take 4-5months off to plan for the years to come. I know next season that I will double if not triple my income and I am allowing The Secret to work its magic and create what needs to be done in order for everything to fall into place.
I know it will happen, but I have no idea how. I want to expand and do more with my business, but I’m not sure what. All I know is, when I set my thoughts to it, it will happen and I will continue to be happy and live the life I have always deserved!
