My family recently moved to a new state and I needed to find a job. My husband had a job but I just had no luck finding one. So I took a part-time job at a grocery store thinking that would be okay for the meantime.

I have worked since I was 17 years old in an office, and was used to the regular 9-5 Monday to Friday job. Working part-time was hard for me because it wasn’t set hours, the pay was bad, and I hardly got to see my family because I worked nights and weekends. So after about two months I told my husband how miserable I was, and he told me to just quit. Just quit? I worried that there would be nothing else out there for me. I had applied to two agencies to help me find a nice job in an office in the city, but I had no luck. So how could I quit?

But after another bad night at my part-time job I decided, if I was going to allow myself to get a better job, I need to cut myself loose from this other job that was making me miserable. So I wrote a resignation letter to my manager and said in that letter that I had to quit in three weeks because I was given a better opportunity to work in a full-time job. Now, I didn’t have that job, but I thought, how was I going to allow myself to get that better job while I am in this horrible other one? The whole time everyone asked me about this great new job, and I felt weird lying to them, but I felt like I’m not really lying, I’m just making myself available for the opportunity to find that full-time job I so want.

After about three weeks of quitting my job, I got an interview, and what was so great is this was my first interview (outside of my part-time job interviews) in an office for a full-time job since getting to our new location. So it was exciting. I got that job, and it was in the location of the city that I had actually wanted to work, AND it was the hours that I had wanted to work (I still work my 40 hours a week with those hours). My husband and I leave together every morning and come home together every evening, which are the best parts of the day for me because I get to spend more time with him.

Now what makes this story so exciting to tell is that this all happened before I had read The Secret and started on my positive thinking. I had used it before I had known about it.

Because of this experience in getting my job, when I finally read The Secret, I knew that my new job was not an accident or just luck, it was more powerful than that, and now I know I attracted that job to me. We all use the law of attraction in our lives for some things, which is why when we finally read about it, it’s when we realize that we do have some control in our destiny. And it’s an amazing feeling to know that.
