I have been a believer in The Secret and the law of attraction since it was first release. So many things have manifested, both small and big. But there are still areas of my life that I really have a hard time applying it. And that area is about my finances. Since I was very young, I did not have all the luxury of enjoying whatever it was that was connected to money. My parents always had arguments about money before, and they had debts they needed to pay for years. So, I think I got stuck with the idea that money is a dangerous thing to handle up until recently.

I got a letter from my credit card company that said I had to pay a certain amount, which was a very large amount of money, within a week. I was so shocked and scared that I had difficulty concentrating on my work and studies. The amount I had to pay was more than my salary. I would be able to pay it if the due date was after the day I received my salary, but it was not.

I was really in a panic stage at that time. I always try to fix things by myself, but at that time, it was unimaginable. I am a foreigner working here in Japan, and Japan doesn’t offer loan services to foreigners even if you’ve stayed here for more than 20 years. If you could get it, it would be really difficult, and I had only started working in Japan less than two years ago.

So, because I was so restless that I couldn’t sleep anymore, I got out my Kindle and reread the ‘Money Magnet’ chapter from the practices in The Magic book. I followed the instructions and wrote over my credit card bill, “Thank you so much for the money, Lord,” and then I went to sleep. After that, I continued saying the same line over and over in my mind the day after.

Here is where my life-saver came. My friend, who did not know anything about my problem, just randomly told me that if I needed money, she could lend me some anytime, and I could pay it back anytime I wanted. Or, I think my actions were pretty obvious, and I looked like I had a problem. Anyway, when I heard those words, I just cried and thanked her. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I was so relieved after that.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Now, I am trying to turn my worries about money into streams of opportunity by using gratitude. Thank you so very much to Rhonda Byrne for the law of attraction and The Magic.
