Dumbstruck By The Blessings!
Submitted by: Chetanna
London, UK30 something year old taking 'The Secret' babysteps :-)
I became unemployed for the 2nd time in 3 years. To be honest it was a blessing in disguise because my job had been getting me down for while. I had been introduced to The Secret 5 years ago but never took it seriously, this time I needed something to ground me and keep me sane during this difficult time of unemployment and boy has it worked! 🙂
My first worry was of supporting myself so putting the practice of gratitude into play i attracted some funds to my life. I was grateful that I could afford a roof over my head and clothes, grateful that I had enjoyed the services of hot water and electricity before having to pay (which changed my attitude towards bills), grateful I had savings to afford to pay these bills and for my transport around town for interviews or signing up with agencies. I started noticing little changes at first, I began to get money back coupons from my supermarket which reduced the cost of feeding myself, then my gym offered me half price membership for the next few months which reduced the cost of my physical exercise then my first big surprise came when I got a fat check in the post for a tax rebate of almost 2,000 pounds. My first instinct was to hold on tightly to that money and become more miserly because I was worried about running out but instead I decided to send some money to my brother who is unemployed as well and in a much much worse off position than me because of other issues in his life and I also set up a direct debit for my cousin’s charity of feeding the homeless at Christmas. I had been surprisingly blessed with these funds and wanted to share this with others.
My second big surprise was from my father who didn’t know I was unemployed ( I didn’t tell him because I didn’t want to worry him) he transferred some funds to my account randomly and said he had been thinking about me and just wanted to send me something. So in essence the funds I have attracted in the past 2 months from numerous sources has been over £6,000!! I have NEVER had this happen to me in my entire life!
I am currently doing The Magic 28 day practices and I cannot stress how beneficial I have found this in terms of my mental and spiritual well being. I have attracted a job offer into my life and have been invited to interview at a company I have been applying to for the last year or so.
I’m excited to see what the future holds and feel so blessed to have discovered this.
