Ontario, CanadaMother & wife, just starting to learn to let go of the pain of the past and live my life the positive way; just beginning to discover the true power of my mind.
This is my second posting. I read the stories of others to inspire me and to keep on track with my positive thinking…
About a month ago, my older son started coaching close to home – he has been skating in a dance team for about 9 years and finally, he was able to start making money doing what he loves most. All was good, he would use my car to get to and from the arena and I would schedule my meetings with Clients around his schedule. But then, within weeks, he came to me, and said that there is an opportunity for him to coach at another club, twice a week, about 60km away.
I was thrilled for him; looking back at my own first job earning $3.70/hour I knew that he made it big already and was well on his way to a bright financial future.
The thing was that I needed my car and without it he could not coach in the new club. Entire male population of my family started to search the Internet for the deal of the century on a used car.
Meanwhile I decided that I will not spend more than $5000.00 on a 5 year old Honda Civic with about 130K on it oh and it had to have a standard transmission, as I wanted my kids to know how to drive that. Years earlier I knew that eventually we will need another car for the boys and somehow those numbers came to me and stayed in my head.
While my husband and my sons searched all the websites and looked in the newspapers I insisted that the car that we will get will be a 5 year old Honda (as above) I just knew it in my heart. I didn’t even bother to check how much those would go for… I didn’t care, either. Let me tell you they thought I was nuts!!! You CANT get a car like that for this kind of money, Mom! Well this was on Friday
On Saturday we found a 2005, two-door, Honda Civic in mint condition, lady driven, with 130,000km and standard transmission for $5200.00. Within 10 minutes from home no less! If I only specified the colour! Its black (I didnt want black so of course it is, because black was in my mind)
The key is to be specific and push all doubt from your mind.
Im so thankful for The Secret, its slowly changing my life for the better.
