How I Was Introduced To THE SECRET

Submitted by: Brenda Best

Ardmore, Oklahoma

About the author: My name is Brenda Best. I have no degrees that apply here. This is just the writings of a simple woman who has come to her spiritual journey in life. I write from the heart what I am learning along the way. My hope is to help anyone along the way that I can. I am a wife, mother, & grandmother who has been searching for my life's purpose, and just how & where I fit in, and by some miracle stumbled upon "The SECRET". And now I am on the most amazing journey of my life!

How I KNOW the “Law Of Attraction” Works By Brenda Best

Before I get to my story, I want you to know that at the time all this happened, I knew nothing of The Secret or The Universal Law Of Attraction. But I was soon to be attracting the answers I had inside!

For quite some years my husband & I were wanting to move down south closer to my daughters & grandchildren. We even had friends close to them in a small town we desperately wanted to move to. But we were very rooted where we were. My husband had been at his job for 28 years and I had been there 12 and a half. We had a home and security in our retirements & 401Ks. Not to mention insurance!

We would go down south every vacation we could. And they would all try to visit us at least once a year. But, as my grandchildren were starting to get bigger, my girls told me they were not having any more! It began to really take a toll on me. The saying goodbye was absolute torture! I still cry when I think about it. I told my husband then I couldn’t do this much longer. If we don’t get down there soon the kids will be grown & won’t want to spend time with Nana & Pa-Pa.

Well, I just prayed with all my heart, for God to show me how to make this happen. I had No Idea how I was going to walk away from that security, let alone talk my husband into it. Even though we were extremely unhappy at our jobs & had been for years, the responsible, logical side of me just kept us in that daily grind. To the point of affecting our health!

Then one Friday evening our friends called. And in that conversation she asked again when were we ever going to get out of there & move down south? “Before that factory is the death of both of you?” My reply was exactly: “It would take a major kick in the butt for us to just walk away from this security.” Then we went on about how much better life would be when we finally got here.

The following Tuesday, I LOST MY JOB!!! Due to circumstances beyond my control. I was shocked, devastated, scared, you name it, I was going through it. But as I was driving home it hit me so strong. I KNEW, this was it… I knew I had just got that major kick in the butt!!! I didn’t know how or why, but I knew this was our chance to get out.

My husband was skeptical to say the least, of how we could pay for everything & move. We needed to fix the house up to sell, list it with a realtor, pay off bills, find time to get down there, find jobs, a house, and find someone to help move everything. We are talking an 11 and a half hour drive from home to there.

I just kept praying, then I just turned it over to God & said, if we are meant to be there by my children please lead me there! And I can’t even tell you how it all started coming at us…

I used my 401K to pay off some of the bills & go on a vacation to spend New Years with our friends & daughters. While we were there we looked at some houses, and even though it was the holidays the third day we were here we found one to rent!! And then our friends went back to Illinois with us, we packed up the rest of our stuff, signed the house with a realtor, got the moving truck, my husband went in & “retired”, and we were back here with everything by that Sunday! Now, that’s what I called a whirlwind!!!

I couldn’t believe it… it took 3 months from losing my job to being here where we LOVE it! I was so grateful and amazed at what had happened. I just kept going over it & asking how did that happen so quick? And the more questions I asked myself the more information about “The Secret” kept popping up everywhere. The “Universal LAW Of Attraction”, with the Grace of God, was put out there for me to find and study.

So, therefore, I know it works whether we are aware of it or believe it or work with it. When you start learning how the universe works, and how we are all connected, it will lead you on an unforgettable journey! The most rewarding journey I have taken in my life so far.

But you must be careful. There are many contradicting beliefs about all of this. You can be led to believe that you can just wish things into existence… or some even say you can manifest things out of thin air. This is not true… there are no miracles in getting what you want. At least not that I have found anyway… I am still studying all I can. So I’m sure I’ll find more wonderful information. And now I pretty much know what programs are scam & what are Truth, & I choose to stay with the Masters Of the Secret.
