Don’t Give Up!!

Brooklyn, NYBorn and raised in Brooklyn, NY.
When I purchased The Secret I was in the middle of a break down. I could not see any good in my future or see how my life could get better. I was bitter and frustrated because I obtained a Bachelors and two Masters Degrees and had nothing to show for it. My daughter, her father, and I lived in a tiny one bedroom studio apartment, and slept together on a mattress on the floor. I handled all the bills and therefore could barely make ends meet. I was at a job where I was so unhappy and had a crappy salary for someone who was highly educated with experience. Every time it seemed like a door was opening for me it would close really hard in my face. I couldn’t understand why I couldn’t get the job I wanted, why I had a boyfriend that treated me like crap (even though I am the mother of his child), why my check couldn’t last for at least one week, and why I couldn’t afford to live in a better place.
I read The Secret and made a vision board of everything I wanted. I would look at it every day, thank God for it, and visualize it in my mind every day. I did this even when things were getting even more worse.
After six months I started to see things changing in my life. I obtained my dream job, I am making $20,000 more than I was making six months ago, I live in a bigger apartment, and my daughter has her own room! I am driving a brand new car and I will be married to the man of my dreams next year. Life is getting better and better. Keep the Faith and don’t give up!
