I would like to share with you my incredible story, on how The Secret changed my live. I apologize in advance for my English, I am learning.
I was a student last year, in my final year of Engineering. For my studies, I got a student loan from the bank that I’m supposed to start repaying once I have completed my courses. My daily budget was low, very low for a student. I could not afford a nice meal at the end of the day because I was trying to save enough money from my summer jobs and part-time jobs to pay the bank back. While completing the course last year, I was applying for jobs to prepare my life for the next step after graduation.
Three months before I graduated, I lost my bank card one evening when I was getting out of the metro station, and I only realized it two days later. I was so scared to look at my account, knowing what I was going to see. There was not even a penny left on my card. The people who stole my card had taken all my money, my four years of savings, and all my sacrifices. I was so sad, and the bank could not do anything to get my money back.
I started to worry about the future: how was I going to pay the rent, how was I going to pay the bank? At the same time, I received a lot of rejections for the jobs I had applied for and I still had to write my final report without motivation or concentration. As a foreigner in a European country, with no family support, my whole body was shaking. I was devastated.
In that moment of darkness, I asked myself, “What would Rhonda have suggested you do? ” I replied back to myself right away; she would have said to say thank you, Olivia. Say thank you, even if you don’t know why, even if all your hope has been lost. Just say thank you and then keep on saying thank you.
It was hard advice to follow, though, but I also knew that she was right. When you feel powerless in front of any situation, say thank you. However, I knew I could not say thank you because I was so down emotionally, but I set a daily gratitude notification in my account on The Secret Super App. At least I can read someone else’s thoughts about gratitude when I am not able to be grateful myself.
Oh God, that really did help me! I gradually took my mind off the problems I was having and embraced my situation with love and gratitude. I forgave myself, I let go of everything, and after three months of nonstop reading of the daily gratitude notifications, I started saying thank you myself, too.
Good vibes do attract good things! I received a call from a big renewable energy company to attend a job interview for a position I had applied for. The interview went so well that they offered me the job after just three weeks. They offered me a full-time position with a fairly high salary for a junior entry level position. At the same time, the company where I was doing my internship also offered me a full-time job. Now I had options!!!
I chose the big company and started working there one month ago! The people there are so good and so welcoming. I have two managers who are the best ever. This job is interesting, and the company benefits and pension scheme are amazing. It is just beyond my expectations—everything that I have ever wanted and more! I am crying with joy!
Now I can say that I have money to pay the bank, to buy new my clothes, to eat my favorite meals, and to travel home to see my family. If I have a secret to share with you my people, it is this one: keep on saying thank you, whatever the situation. If you can’t say it, at least read it. Surround yourself with gratitude!
Thank you, Rhonda!
