10,000 Dollars.

I was introduced to the law of attraction years ago and read some books here and there. I read The Secret, watched The Secret movie, tested out some things, and then forgot about it all. I would eventually start over and repeated that same cycle. I must have done this maybe 100 times. I bought other books like The Magic and The Power. I read those books and the cycle was repeated.
Recently I decided to focus on $10,000. I was working two jobs just to make ends meet and I was not really seeing how this was going to happen. I envisioned finding the money or winning it, and as unlikely as I thought that could be, I mostly just kept repeating $10,000 over and over, trying to feel as if I had it. I was mostly going through the motions of replaying how I would feel when I got it and what I would do with it.
Well, a friend emailed me about a job that was in my field. So I applied for it and interviewed for it and I got the job for a salary that was 10k more than my current job was paying me and is entirely unheard of in my field! And here is the kicker though, my current job offered me an additional 10k to stay with them! Which I did because it was less work and I would not have to make any changes. So although I did not find or win the $10,000, I very unexpectedly got my $10,000.
I am trying to learn to be more specific, to stick with my gratitude, and get better at how to imagine and feel my desired end results.
I wanted to share this because as much as I wanted to believe in the LOA and The Secret, at times I had trouble and was extremely skeptical. However, I would tell myself that there’s no harm in trying, no harm in being happy and grateful, and shifting my negative feelings to those of positive ones. At the very least my mood is better and I did get 10k after all.
