LAAll good things come to me.
To The Secret Team,
Here is my magnificent story, in the shortest way possible. I would like to think that my story is extremely special because not only has it given me faith and belief in dreams and fantasy, but hopefully do the same for other people.
I lost my way in 2012, I lost my job, lost a family member and I genuinely had no idea where I was heading in life but by 2013 I wanted to change all of that. So I began to write down a list of all the things I wanted. Money, a dream job, holidays, you know, the materialistic things.
Then I remembered in The Secret film, someone spoke about going for all the inner joys first. I looked at my long list and realized none of these are really my inner joys. So I cut it down to 3 main things I wanted.
One thing was a top makeup course, but I didn’t have the money and my course at the time started in 2 weeks. What was I doing wrong? I was trying to figure out the “how” I am going to find this money, but that’s not my job right?
Two weeks later, I was on that course.
Soon after completing the course, a job opportunity arose to work with a celebrity who I was most fond of. I can’t give any names but you do know of this person. I wasn’t the most experienced compared to some makeup artists, but I applied anyway. I asked for this job, so the job must be mine! I kept saying “Thank you for my dream job” over and over. I made fake interview questions and came up with the perfect answers, and practiced till my answers came out effortlessly.
When I had the interview, all of those exact questions came up and I knew how to answer every single one.
Before my interview I was so nervous. Then I calmed myself down and said “This is just an ordinary person, see this person as your friend because you are this person’s makeup artist.”
They gave me the job on the day! And there were hundreds of applicants!
I was literally the happiest person ever, I couldn’t stop crying, laughing and smiling.
I am so blessed every single day. I am doing my dream job. I am pretty sure the rest of the year will have even greater things for me because I expect them.
So here is my advice. Don’t listen to anyone else’s advice other than your own because deep down, you have the answer within your heart and mind.
Time really is just an illusion.
