From A Humble Dream To Reality: The Magic Of Belief.
Submitted by: Jovana K.
Belgrade, SerbiaI’m a remote worker who comes from a very humble background. Life has shown me that with faith, focus, and gratitude, even the quietest beginnings can lead to extraordinary transformations.
In 2020, during the challenging times of the pandemic, Rhonda Byrne’s book The Secret gained immense popularity in Serbia. At 25, I was on a journey of spiritual growth and self-improvement, so I decided to buy and read the book. One of the practices that stood out to me was the idea of manifesting abundance by writing myself a check for a desired amount and a future date, then letting it go and trusting the law of attraction.
On April 9, 2020, I printed out the check and filled it in for the amount of $100,000, an ambitious sum for me, coming from a very humble background. I set the date five years into the future: April 9, 2025. I placed this check in a small box on a shelf I like to call my “altar,” along with a bay leaf on which I wrote the word “home,” symbolizing my deepest desire to one day own a place of my own.
As the years went by, life unfolded: I experienced love, heartbreak, career growth, and even adopted a puppy named Ralph. In late 2024, during a particularly stressful period filled with personal and societal challenges, I suddenly felt inspired to start looking at real estate in another city. Within just two months, I found the perfect property and had saved enough for the down payment I had been diligently setting aside over the past five years.
I purchased my apartment in April 2025, and the price was exactly €100,000. On June 22, 2025, while doing a deep cleaning of my room, I stumbled upon that little box and discovered the check I had written five years earlier. To my astonishment, the date on the check, April 9, matched the exact date I signed the purchase agreement for my new home.
The universe truly works in mysterious ways!
