Believe

Submitted by: Lavinia Prosperity

Dominican Republic

My name is Lavinia, I'm 23 years old and I've been in a relationship with my husband for about three and a half years.

I live with my mother in law, and I’ve been looking for a house to move out. Last week I was told about a house, so I went to see it; as I as was walking to go in the house I had this feeling that I can’t explain… I had not even seen the house and I felt an amazing joy within me. But this is only the beginning of my story.

I saw the house and I spoke with the owner so I could rent it. Guess what? I didn’t have a single cent and I had to give three months in advance in order to get the house. I asked for a loan, which was denied, not once, not twice, but three times from different people.

I remember writing a letter to The Secret about:
What can I do to receive what I want or what I need when it has to be immediately? And I put on the subject of the email: Desperate. If I didn’t rent the house immediately they were going to give it to someone else.

At that moment I understood the meaning of several topics described in the book of The Secret, such as:

When you know what you want, if you really want it and you’ve asked for it, you feel this joy within you, even when you have not received it physically yet.

I was so focused on having this house that I had strength enough to replace negative thoughts for positive thoughts. Even when everything was turning difficult I experienced the meaning of ‘Believe’.

As I was thinking on how I was going to receive this money, I kept on giving thanks for the house, for the money I received, and for my faith of knowing that it was already mine. So, an idea came to my head. I called a guy who I had probabilities of getting the money from him. He had already denied it, but guess what? I believed, and so as I believed, the guy said: Ok, no problem, you’ll have it this afternoon after 2:30 – just call me.

I had to meet with the lawyer of the house at 4:00 PM. After 2:30 PM I called the guy and he didn’t pick up. It was 4:00 PM already. I was at work, waiting for the money and without reaching the guy. Guess what? The lawyer called me at 4:00 PM to let me know that she wasn’t going to be able to be on time – she postponed it for 6:00 PM. Oh my God! Now I understand all things you can do when you really believe.

I got in touch with the guy at 5:00 PM and by 6:00 the house was definitely mine.

I gave thanks for having this house as many times as any person could imagine, and I believed.

The people in charge of the house are now painting the house for me, so I’ll be moving in a couple of days.

This is my advice: whenever you know what you want, ask, Believe like you know, like you know, like you know (Lisa). The Universe (GOD) is moving every single thing to make it yours. Believe until you feel the joy within you when you think about it. You’ll even laugh just imagining it – that’s when you believe. Thank every time for it, because it’s already yours.
This is my Secret experience.

I thank Rhonda/Hayley Byrne for replying to my email, it really helps.

Thank you.

Lavinia
