Believe and you will Receive

Baguio City, PhilippinesI am a 33-year-old mother of three beautiful kids. I am a medical transcriptionist and hoping to be a life coach one day.
I have not yet ready the book “The Secret”, nor have I watched the movie, because I just discovered about it here in the internet and I do not have the time yet to go out and obtain a copy. As I was reading the stories here and as I browsed this website, I remembered several experiences I have had which I think has something to do with the Law of Attraction and the Ask, Believe, and Receive. I would like to share one story here.
Years ago I saw this ad in the local newspaper for this seminar about candle making. In this seminar there would be a lot of raffle draws, and to the winners they would be giving away a candle mold which was priced at 500 pesos each. When I read about the seminar, I immediately knew that I would attend it and that I will be the one to win the candle mold. My problem was I did not have enough money to pay for the seminar fee. I only had half the amount needed. But I kept in mind that I will attend it.
I did not mention it to anybody, not even my husband. But after a few days my father-in-law came and asked me if I wanted to attend a seminar that he saw advertised in the newspaper. And lo and behold, when I asked him what the seminar was about, he said it was about candle making. So I said yes. And what got me really excited was when he said that if I really want to attend it, he will pay half the amount, which was exactly what I needed. So I was very excited. I kept on repeating to myself that I will be the one to get the candle mold. So such so that when the day came and I went to the venue, I was not thinking of going to attend that seminar. I was thinking of receiving my mold. I was really excited. When some of the seminar attendees were wondering who will be the lucky one, I told them with conviction that I will be the lucky one. I really believed it.
So the last part of the seminar came and they were preparing the raffle. They were writing letters on pieces of paper. On one piece of paper the letter M was written, which stands for mold. The instruction was whoever got that piece of paper will be the one to get the mold. And so we had our draw lots. When it was my turn to draw, I just got a piece of paper, but I did not look immediately at what letter was written on it because I still wanted to enjoy my feeling of excitement, and I wanted the others to have a chance on drawing a piece of paper to increase their excitement also. When I couldnt bear my excitement any longer, I turned over the piece of paper, and indeed, the letter written was the letter M. I showed it to everybody and I said, “I told you so!” They were all amazed how I knew that I will be the one to receive it. One even said that maybe I am a witch. And I said I just knew it.
I never thought about these things that happened. It was only when I stumbled upon your website and I browsed it that I thought, “That must be it!”
Anyway, I am now a firm believer and now I already believe that I will be able to obtain the book “The Secret”, and that I will be able to watch the movie, and I will be able to do so without any big effort from me. Thanks a lot Rhonda.
