I am in a much better job!
Submitted by: Elizabeth L.
Staten Island, NY41 years old, single mother of two awesome tween girls. Loving life and moving forward with all my goals.
I read The Secret after someone I was working with strongly recommended it. Everything I read I already knew to be true. I greatly enjoyed reading it and kept coming up in my conversations with others.
I have struggled for a while with doing really good work, but always been underpaid. I used the Law of Attraction hoping that I would finally get rewarded for my hard work with a job raise or promotion. Instead, things became impossible at work. I was asked to falsify records, and when I refused, management began a campaign to malign me. It seemed like an impossible situation, and I prayed and continued to believe that only good things will come my way.
I regretfully had to quit after two very nasty meetings with the management at my former place of work. I left and stayed home demoralized. I love the work that I do, how could this be? At the time that I needed to get my children, I put on a good face and went to pick them up. Unlike the usual, I was upbeat and continued to think positive thoughts. I went to the pharmacy to get my daughter’s medication and while there I decided to purchase a scrath-it lottery ticket. An older gentleman kept urging me to get a certain one. It was $5 for it and I had a $10 bill, since I no longer had a job, I really did not want to spend all the $10. My daughters started rushing me that they wanted to eat and were embarrassed that I was standing in front of a gambling machine, so I put in the entire $10 bill. I won $20 on the first card, but the one I wouldn’t have purchase had I had my way I won $250, and was able to finish back to school shopping.
That’s not all. The next day, I got a call from a company I had interviewed a while back. I had asked for the salary I feel I deserve and was afraid that I prized myself out of the job. Well, they offered me a 25% pay increase. I start this job in two weeks!
The Secret works! Keep believing even when it appears that all the odds and all things are against you. I often read the stories here and wondered when it would be my turn, but lately I notice all the small miraculous things that happen every day. Keep on believing.
