Four Years of Growth!

Southfield, MIA lucky person who was nudged onto The Secret path by the Universe.
I started practicing gratitude after reading The Secret series of books by Rhonda Byrne 4 years ago, and my life today is tremendously better. I have manifested so many material and intangible rewards that I really can’t share all of them in one sitting.
I was in a small, private spiritual group for 10 years, not knowing it was a cult run by a disingenuous leader. The leader of that group warned the followers to not read The Secret book. In retrospect, I realized he wanted to keep his followers suffering so that people would keep donating money to him in exchange for guidance.
In 2018, I started a new job at a terrible company. I was bullied and tormented by many people. It was really unbearable. I was desperate for help. My fitness instructor told me about The Secret. Initially, I had a strong aversion because I believed in the bad things that the disingenuous cult lied to me about. The problems at work kept getting worse. I became really desperate and eventually gathered the courage to give The Secret a shot.
I started with Rhonda’s first book, The Secret, and then The Magic. Within 18 days of me starting the gratitude practices in The Magic, I got a job offer that was comparable to my then current job. This miracle ended my suffering. I was content at my new job and continued to practice gratitude daily. Eight months later, a recruiter called me out of the blue. He said he found my resume in his database. I was very sure that I had restricted my online resume to private as soon as I started my new job. There was no way he could have found my resume. The recruiter’s office was 2 hours away. I told him I was not looking but if he wanted, I would meet him in person. He insisted on having a meeting with me and submitted my resume to another company. A month later, I got an offer from that company. The salary was $12,000 higher. On top of that, the commute was only 5 minutes away from my home. It really was a jaw-dropping surprise. Normally people find a job first and then move close to work. In my instance, the job found me. I had no idea this company existed in my neighborhood.
The story does not end there. I got my big break at this job. I eventually earned a promotion that I had been wanting for 12 years. I have a boss who really appreciates my talents and gave me multiple raises and bonuses that totaled $80,000 in two years’ time. On top of that, I met the love of my life here, too!
Recently, I was cleaning up my documents and re-read the wish list that I made when I first started practicing The Secret. One of the things I wrote down was to have an unexpected income of $30,000. The additional money I’ve received from this job is way more than what I originally asked the Universe for. I had no idea how this money would come about. I just wrote down $30,000 as an experiment to see if it could come true. This job is a gift that keeps on giving. My material life and emotional well-being have improved so much because of this job. I am really grateful for this precious gift that the Universe gives me.
