Unexpected path to success

My story high lights the part of The Secret that tells you, you just have to concentrate on the end result, your end goal, in order to receive. Dont worry about how it will come to you, just hold on to the end goal.
I’m a fashion student at the moment. I’ve been dreaming of being a successful fashion designer for years. Working for a well known fashion house, moving to London, trips to New York, Milan and Paris……As well as believing that it is possible I’m also realistic, it takes years to get to that level and I haven’t even started my degree yet.
Then one day I stumbled across a fashion competition on the BBC website. I submitted some designs half-heartedly. It wasn’t my best work, certainly not good enough to win, I thought I might have even missed the deadline.
Last week, I was checking my emails when I noticed there was one from the BBC; “Congratulations!” ………..wow!
Im now one of 10 winners of the fashion competition and the prize?
My capsule collection (that I’m now working hard on) will be shown at an event during LONDON FASHION WEEK in September this year (2010). Seriously, I’m 19 and this is an opportunity of a lifetime!
This CLEARLY is not how I imagined my career starting out, but the universe has ways of getting us where we want to be by the fastest route possible.
I haven’t reached my ultimate goal yet but this random turn of events is going to open so many doors for me, I just know it. Possibly offering a short cut to where I want to be in a few years time.
I am incredibly thankful for this blessing and all of the wonderful things in my life past, present and future.
Love life and keep believing
