This is me! And I’ve created me!
Submitted by: Jay G
Ontario, CanadaI'm a 22 year old father, student, and entrepreneur.
I guess I’ll give my rough story here. I was going down a bad path. I had been arrested, and thrown in jail. In jail I was beaten so badly that I couldn’t see out of my eye for 2 weeks, and received about 9 stitches in my eyebrow. I was then released on bail. When I went to my courtcase, I was re-arrested and charged with two more counts of assault. At this point I had already been practising The Secret and my life was going amazing, but I wasn’t fully ready. I had stopped drinking, didn’t do drugs and focused on my life to becoming a better person.
About 4 months later I was re-arrested for a breach I had no idea I committed. I was brought to bail court the next day and the judge even found it odd I was there (for that reason). I was released on bail again. The whole time, I still believed to the best of my heart in The Secret.
The day I was released on bail, I was evicted out of my home, so I went to live with my mother for a week or so. During this time I had a dream. As The Secret states, you have to follow your dreams. About 2 months ago I had a dream to start a company, in which every shirt we sell we donate one to charity. Well I did that, I started a company. Now I’d like to let you know I have no marketing or business education other then a few classes in high school. Well it’s only been 3 months. We have done two radio Interviews, had an article written about us, we also were contacted to sponsor a seven time UFC fighter. Me? This kid that was going down a path that would of ended in tragedy, now owns a company with a UFC fighter on their side?
Every day we are growing and growing. We are in expos, helping out charities and I couldn’t be happier. Now the whole reason I think I was arrested was because I’m not a good drinker so the first thing I did was simply not get drunk! I now have high hopes on getting back together with the mother of my child, and actually treating her right this time! I was a horrible boyfriend to her and after 6 months, I see who I have to be and how she is my true love. I am still going through lots of stuff in my life, but I’m basically writing this to let you guys know, no matter how crazy it sounds, no matter what other people say, this stuff works!
This morning on my way to school I visualized there being no line for a coffee at the coffee shop.. A man who was walking in before me stopped and held the door open for me, I walked in and there was no line… This place is normally a 5 – 10 minute wait. BELIEVE!
