A powerful picture

I’m not a very ambitious person, nor do I consider myself very optimistic, I’m rather very down-to-earth. But never a picture had a more powerful influence on my finances than this:

(Note: It’s a copyrighted stock photo, but the watermarked low-res free sample worked fine for me.)
I was going through a very hard time with strong tax debts haunting over my business, and seriously threatening to freeze and pawn my personal assets, and with it all my future.
I decided to go back through the financial section of “The Secret”, and thought I had nothing to lose, I could give it a try and picture in my mind what I needed at that moment: cash to solve my problem.
So I searched for a picture that I could place on my desktop wallpaper that I could watch whenever I used the computer to help me focus and remind me every day of the most important thing at that moment – a solution for the crisis.
After spending some time looking, I came to this picture and it just hit me like a strong wind. There it was, just what I needed to solve my problem, all in that picture. Unconsciously, I started to glimpse a light at the end of the tunnel.
Only a few days after I did this, cash started rolling in: we managed to sell some corporate assets to pay the debt, some friends loaned us some money, the bank approved our credit request, our customers started to pay their debts, sales started to rise, and we even managed to get a raise on our prices. We managed to get out of the hole we were in, that debt is all paid for, I was able to take home some extra money and even to put aside some extra more for future debts, our main customers are requesting our services on a daily basis, and we’re now able to pay our dues. Not everything is 100% AOK, but now I can breathe, attend my family’s needs, and the future is now sunny rather than cloudy.
Talk about sudden shifts. I can see no other logical explanation for all of this. Thank you, picture!
