Submitted by: LV
Middle EastA strong believer of the Secret. I am truly grateful for everything I have and for what I am today. And I know for sure that everything I want or wish to achieve in my life henceforth, is certainly on its way to me. Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU!!!!
Since May 2008, my life wasnt going well for a lot of reasons and I was very unhappy about it. Firstly, I had left my job of eight years where I enjoyed the work and was good at what I did but wasnt getting paid well enough, and had joined another company for better prospects. The new company was highly reputed and was offering me salary and perks that I had always dreamed of. I was happy and life certainly felt like it was going to change for the better.
However, to my utter disappointment, the job was nothing like I had thought it would be. The working environment was extremely unprofessional and the quality of work itself was not challenging at all. I felt like my eight years work experience and the best years of my professional life was being wasted; it was as though I had gone backwards professionally. My boss was not a nice person at all; he was very negative and was extremely difficult to work with. And to make things worse, the internal politics was really bad; disagreements, gossiping, back biting, fights etc took place with alarming frequency. Since the team was small, it was difficult to escape or stay away from it. The only good thing about it was the money and as much as I tried to be positive about that, it didnt help. I literally had to drag myself to work everyday and spending eight hours a day at the office became a huge chore.
The lack of an interesting and mentally challenging career started affecting other areas of my life as well. I felt like something was seriously missing in my life. I felt there was a lack of quality or purpose to my every day existence.
I first heard about The Secret while browsing the Oprah website and bought the book two months later while I was on holiday but had stopped reading it halfway for no particular reason. However, at this low point in my life, I decided to start reading The Secret again. I decided that I was going to apply The Secret and change my life by getting the things I wanted. I started keeping track of all the things I was grateful for and made a list of all the things I wanted to achieve. I wrote about them in such a way as though I already had them.
The first and foremost thing I wanted was to change jobs. I had completed a year and five months in this company and I didnt want to waste any more time. Untill then, I was always told you could never have everything in life but The Secret had started to change that outlook of mine. I deserved to be happy and I deserved a career/job that made me happy. I first became clear about what exactly I was looking for in a job/career i.e. where I wanted to work, in what capacity etc. It took me a few months to get absolutely clear on my dream job but finally it came to me. There was an international organization that had divisional offices where I lived and I knew that was where I belonged. I further made a list of all the things I wanted to have in my career within this organization; in short, I created a perfect job scenario. I thought about this every single day till one fine day, I opened the classifieds section of the local newspaper and saw the vacancy advertisement for one of the divisional offices. On reading the job description, I found it to be exactly what I was looking for. I sent out my application with full gratitude and knowing fully well that one day I would work there.
In the meanwhile, I continued being as positive as I could and did my best at my existing job. A few weeks after the closing date of the vacancy, I received a call from the division office, asking me to come for an interview. The moment I answered that call, I knew the job was mine. I decided in my mind that I would join the new office in January 2010; a new year and a new and rewarding start to my career. I trusted The Secret and the power of the universe with all my heart. I trusted completely that I had asked and that I would receive. The interview went off very well. Two weeks from the date of interview, I was informed that I was among the top three short-listed for the position. And by mid December 2009, I received confirmation that I had been selected for the position.
Since I was on leave at the time when I received this wonderful news, I resigned after I resumed duty end of December 2009 And finally, end of January 2010, just as I had wanted, I joined my new company and since then, theres been no looking back.
With the help of The Secret, I landed my dream job and its been a month since I joined. I couldnt be happier. Things are absolutely great. I enjoy every moment that Im at work. My boss is, without exaggeration, one of the nicest and kindest persons Ive ever met and I have an excellent relationship both with him and all my other colleagues. Im great at what I do. Life is wonderful and just the way I wanted it to be. My sincere thanks and gratitude to the Universe for bringing me my dream job.
