Surprises Attractions
Submitted by: Holly M.
ArkansasIt was not until I watched The Secret, read the book, and listened to the audio that I realized that I have attracted the circumstances of my wonderful life. As a teenager, I was focused on experiencing a blessed life with a loving family.
There was a prayer that I had heard on the local Christian radio station about having a blessed family and having children who were happy. Growing up in a family that lacked love and displayed that lack through abuse, I remember feeling the words of that prayer in my heart. Just a few months later, I met my husband and we were married the next year.
Our relationship has defied many statistics; we were young and had few resources, but our love is strong and brings tears of joy to my eyes. I am so grateful that I never had to search for the right person to date and marry. He came right to me!
Another circumstance I attracted was a new job. When my son was born, I went through a deep depression, but through that experience I set some goals for my life and they included going back to college and getting a new job. The job I wanted, a library director, required a Masters in Library Science degree. The goal for the director job was for me to work while allowing my husband to stay at home with the kids (at the time we both worked). I started back to college and within two years I finished my bachelors degree (eighty credit hours), while working full time. Two weeks after I finished my bachelors, I started on a Masters program and completed that in one year. I had such faith that I would be able to get my desired job.
I started looking for a job halfway through my Masters degree program. My husband and I started packing the house and we arranged to sell our home. During this time, I went on several interviews, but did not get any job offers, to my frustration.
A few months before graduation, I received a call about being interviewed for a job in Arkansas (at the time we lived in Michigan). My husband and I immediately felt good about the job. For several weeks before I went for the interview, my husband envisioned the interview scenario with love and excitement. It came as no surprise to either of us when I was offered the job. The offer was wonderful – the job was the same salary as when we were both working and there was a bonus that covered our moving expenses. Plus I was given a vehicle to drive for business purposes.
Since the move, one great thing after another has happened. For instance we bought a house and we bought it at a time where we were eligible to receive a second time home buyers credit. I have also been healed from a chronic illness, and Ive seen a double rainbow. All of these things happened without my realizing the power I had to attract them. I now know that these wonderful things happened because I attracted them through love.
Since learning about the law of attraction, I keep a notebook of all of the awesome things that happen to me on a daily basis so that when I do have times that I need to be reminded of my great life, I can read through my list.
Thank you to Rhonda for showing me that I have made my life great and that I will create a great future full of happiness.
