Had No Money For A Month.

Submitted by: Samdeep

Chandigarh

I am a college student and a believer in Universe and The Secret.

I had no money for a month and ate the food I wanted to eat without spending a single penny by feeling gratitude after reading and applying The Magic steps for a week!

Alright so this is not really a long story but I just wanna express what gratitude can lead you to and also what you can achieve from gratitude.

So me and my friends and a few more students from another department were practicing every day for an event we were supposed to perform at our college. We all get together almost every day. There was this girl that I found attractive but not in a love language way. It’s just the way she looked. She looked beautiful. We were talking normally when out of nowhere she asked me if I read books. I told her that I don’t really have any books and I don’t read some books, which was a small lie. I told her that I read a few books but I actually never read them.

Then she suggested to me that I should read “The Magic”, and she said she would give it to me. I did not read it for 2 or 3 days because she kept forgetting to bring the book with her to the college. However, the day she gave it to me I started reading it, I realized that I had been feeling no gratitude for anything I had in my life. I am telling you, none!! I kept on reading The Magic and then I started reading it almost everywhere I went. Even at home where I do not even open my school bag.

The days passed and I literally fell in love with that book! I found a lot to feel grateful for from the things I already had. That made me feel privileged and full of happiness! More days went by with me being so thankful for literally everything and taking the steps that the book was suggesting.

I had only a few cents in my account for like a month but I literally tried to feel as much gratitude as I could for every single thing. I was hungry but me and my friend didn’t have any money. We were just about to leave our apartment and suddenly I saw a friend of the friend I was with. That friend was from another department and had no reason to be coming to our department. My friend said to his friend that we should go and eat something. But since we didn’t have money, my friend asked him if he was going to pay for us today and he said, yeah, sure, let’s go! I still didn’t realize how unusual a thing that was. Then we ate pasta and had some cold drinks.

After that when we were on the way to our buses, we met a girl whose birthday was that day, and literally out of nowhere she offered us ice coffee. I declined it because I did not feel like having cold coffee at that time. I still didn’t realize it was an unusual thing that was happening. We left that place and arrived at the buses and said goodbye to each other.

After all that, when I was sitting on my bus reading The Secret book I literally got hit by what happened today! I was shocked! When I realized why all these things happened I was speechless, happy, and emotional at the same time.

I don’t know if you guys call it a miracle or a coincidence but I have trust in that book, in the Universe’s energy, and in the law of attraction. That friend of my friend was not supposed to be there at that period of time. Literally, he had no reason to be there and yet it happened. Also, there’s a little twist. The birthday girl, remember? She told my friend that she was at home and was not gonna come today but somehow she was present and offered me and my friend some cold coffee, even though I had nothing in my pocket but gratitude about things in my mind.

I love whoever wrote that book! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Thank you so very much!
