Been doing it my whole life!

Submitted by: Steve

Franklin County, VA

Stay at home dad.

Hello my name is Steve. I am a stay at home dad and love it! But the story of becoming a stay at home dad is key to this post…

I was working in a job that I did not like but could not ever convince myself to go home and watch my kids while making my wife go back to work. After a series of really bad economic events, almost losing our cars and home, the stock market fell apart. I was building custom cabinets and as a result of the stock market, no one was building houses. Little did I know that this was a hidden blessing. It gave me the confidence to quit my job and stay at home. My wife went back to work and actually makes a lot more than I did and I seem to have more patience for the kids.

At this point I had not seen The Secret yet. I have always felt inside me that there was more to my life and started to notice that things I thought of had actually been happening. I wanted to be at home, I wanted to take care of my kids and I love sports cars. So a couple months into being at home, I came across The Secret and watched it. It blew my mind. This was beliefs I already had, but just shot them down because of really negative people in my life. Everything bad in my life I really did create as well as the good. Me being at home I had created before ever seeing The Secret.

At first I had more bad than good because I had a very negative “blueprint” of life from my family. So I started knocking the bad out of my thoughts and things started going so well, but after a while I fell back into the bad habits.

A year went by and I started thinking of The Secret again and bought the Magic and The Power. I wanted a yellow mustang gt, but could only afford a price that was impossible to get one at. But I believed and I searched for weeks and all of a sudden one day I found one out of state and called and asked the guy to hold it for me. He did. Now the book price was $20,000, my price I told the universe was $14,000 and I got the car for $13000!!!!! Great condition and low miles on top of that. Car was worth the $20,000.

So here I am, a stay at home dad, nothing but money flows my way. I really am a money magnet. And by the way I have 3 kids and a wife and live off one salary, 3 cars, 2 cats and a dog and all I have to do is dream up what I want next and just believe and pay attention to what the universe is giving me and follow the clues. I asked for the universe to bless the company I used to work for so they could get more work. Guess what? They are so busy they have asked me to work some part-time at my full time wage just to keep up. I really feel I created that with my mind.

Something that has helped me is reading the posts on here and I never watch the news or anything with a negative vibe in it and things are going great. I listen to “The Power” audio everyday or anytime I find myself getting bad thoughts and this helps me very much. I have received so many “free” things and money through the power of the law of attraction that I could just keep on writing.

Thank you, thank you, thank you universe for all that you bring to me and thank you Rhonda Byrne for bringing The Secret to the world. May good things come to all who read this.
