Finding The Secret And Looking Back.
Submitted by: Mr Executive
United Kingdom, ExeterMy Name is Mark and I'm married to my beautiful wife Denise, and we have been together for 9 years and married for just over one year. Currently, I work as a senior regional contracts manager, for a building company. Which I have been doing for around 4 years now. We have recently just moved out of our house and bought a caravan lodge. But we will be moving to Spain soon to live out our dream.
I watched The Secret on Netflix around 3 years ago and tried it and never bothered after that. I didn’t look into it properly nor did I read any of the books. Although my wife said she had the book somewhere and had had it for some years. Then when we moved to our Caravan The Secret book just turned up out of the blue. I have to be honest I had never read a book in my adult life. But I decided to read the book. After reading a few chapters, I can honestly say things started to hit home. So I started to look back on my life to see where the law of attraction had worked but without my knowledge.
I was working in Holland and things went horribly wrong and I had to come back to the UK. My passport had gone through the washing machine and I could get access to any money as I didn’t have an i.d. and my bank card was lost. So I struggled to get back to the UK and struggled once I came back to the UK. I moved into a bedsit with no work and no money. I then started doing odd jobs here and there. I remember saying to myself if I only had £10,000 I could rebuild my life. I could get a nice flat and buy everything I needed. I then stumbled upon a website where you could play roulette and I gave it a go. I deposit £30.00 and started to play, not thinking anything of it. Until I reached £12,500 and then I stopped. I said to myself, that’s it, I’m going to withdraw this amount. So I did!
I was astonished and so excited. I had recently met my now wife, Denise, and I told her what had happened. She was so excited for me. We didn’t live together as we had only just met. We ended up moving to a new flat.
We went out on some dates together and one particular day we decided to go to the seaside, Blackpool, and spend the night and have a whale of a time. Money was no object. I didn’t care, Denise had her own money and I had won mine and decided that I was going to really treat myself. So in Blackpool, we went for a meal in a casino and ended up playing at the tables. I felt like a millionaire! We were all dressed up and looking amazingly good. After playing the tables and walking out of the casino with the £2,500 that I had won, I was feeling on top of the world. Just days earlier I had bought some things for my new flat and it came to £ 2,500 and yet I had won that money back.
We were waiting for a taxi outside of the casino and I said to Denise lets have some fun tonight. I said let’s tell everyone we meet tonight that we are millionaires and we live in Marbella on our yacht. So we did and this is what happened over the course of the night. The taxi driver didn’t charge us for the taxi after we said we were jackpot winners in the lottery. And every pub we went into, everyone was buying us drinks and everyone was around us and wanted to sit and talk to us. We didn’t pay for a thing all evening.
So I clearly remember keeping that feeling of thinking, living, and breathing that feeling as if I had won the lottery. In the space of a year, I had won a total just short of £29,500. I then had some problems in my life and I moved on with Denise and things stopped.
I can then remember around 4 years ago I was working with tools as a builder, working for other people. I remember coming home one evening after a stressful day at work and complaining to Denise saying, I’m fed up with this job, the boss keeps having a go at me and he doesn’t know what he’s doing. I could do a better job than him. And Denise said to me you are right Mark, you could. You should be a manager by now. So I clearly remember saying this to her and it’s amazing what happened. I said yes you are right. I should be a Manager or a foreman looking after the men onsite. I shouldn’t be on my tools and driving my van. I should be a manager with an Audi Q7 or a Range Rover sitting in the driveway. I looked up at the living room ceiling and said why can’t I be a manager with a Q7 or A Range Rover sitting on the driveway? I want that and I am not asking for much.
Now, this is the freaky bit.
I ended up leaving that job and got another job with a van, working on the tools. I didn’t look for any manager’s jobs or anything like that. I ended up getting another job and then another, doing the same thing. Then one day my boss phoned me and said Mark, you are too good to be on your tools. I want you to take over from the manager and run the southwest areas for me. He said he would teach me everything I need to know. So I agreed.
This was my package from him: A salary of £35,000 per year. A company car – Audi Q7.
I didn’t think anything of this until I read The Secret and looked back to see if there was any truth in it and there it was!
I was now working as a senior contracts manager with an Audi Q7 to drive around in. I didn’t have the car long then ended up getting a Ford Ranger truck after that which I had always wanted but could never get finance for. Weird I know! I have been thinking the same thing. But it gets even weirder.
I ended up leaving that job as my boss had taken someone on at the head office who didn’t have any respect for anyone and the negativity within the company was not for me. About 6 months later I got a call from Tony my old boss. He had fired that guy and then asked me back to the company. I agreed and got my Ford Ranger back and continued to work for him.
Around 4 months ago he decided to move the office 155 miles away from the old office, as we had taken on another region. Would I consider moving home closer to the office? I agreed and as a sweetener, he gave me a Range Rover Sport. I have always wanted a Black Ranger Rover Sport with a cream interior.
Now I’m that Manager who has had an Audi Q7, a Ford Ranger and now currently has a Range Rover Sport with a cream interior!
So I have continued to read The Secret. I have really got into it and I have also been listening to Bob Proctor, who was featured in The Secret. Thank you!
