October 2007: On our family vacation to Hershey Park, PA, I watched The Secret. I did not start applying what I learned until January 2008. Over and over I envisioned myself winning various contests. In the past 3 months, I really focused on what I would like to do and things I would like to see.
I won a contest, where my co-workers would get 25 Scratch offs, lunch from a local restaurant, etc. But my office would not let me accept it, because there was not going to be enough food for the entire building. This is where everything exploded. I left my job, because I didn’t need to work anymore, and I started my own business from home (it has been slow going, but the husband is the bread maker).
I continued to believe I will win again… and sure enough I did. This time they came to my house, filmed me, and gave me all 25 scratch offs, chocolates, 12 roses, balloons, $100.00, and a $150 gift certificate to a local spa. Then the following week I won again. This time it was an off-Broadway play in the city.
Then this past Saturday, I was swamped with 3 parties… a 4 year old party, a baby shower, and then a 40th in Brooklyn. I was worn out by the time we were headed to the third, but on the radio they announced, ‘Be the 103rd caller and you will win 103 scratch offs.’ I didn’t even know the number of this radio station, so after 2 attempts I finally got the right number… and it was busy, busy, busy. Finally it started to ring, but they hung up on me, so I tried again. Busy, busy, busy… Then I got through. It rang, rang, rang, and then they picked me up. I won… I was shocked.
So this week I rented The Secret again, to brush up on the learning techniques. I have also gotten many of my friends to start watching.
