It works. NO EXCEPTIONS!!

Submitted by: Olga G

The Netherlands

I am just somebody who always was led by her feelings. This way brought me in 2003 to the Netherlands, where I've lived since with my partner, being happy with each other.

I learned about the Secret less than a half year ago. I can’t say that my wishes didn’t come true before, because they did most of the time. They did – I could get many the things I wished for – but I couldn’t get why I still couldn’t reach the one goal that I wanted so bad! I was saying to myself: I’d give up this wish and that wish, I can live without this thing or that, I just want THAT big thing I wish for a long time just to come true. But still I got “this” and “that”, which were less important to me, and the most important thing was unfortunately still unreachable to me. I had no clue why it happened this way.

I felt myself immediately free on the day when I watched the movie for the first time! It’s like when you were living with a feeling that there IS something else over there, there IS the truth, but you can’t catch it and there’s nobody who can explain it to you. Watching the movie was like finding the answer to all the WHYS I had. Suddenly everything became crystal clear and finally I got what this life all about! No doubts, no questions, no fears. Just Faith. YOU can do it! Knowing this really sets you free! Thank you all for setting us free! For helping us to open our eyes to be able to see who we really are and what this is all about! I read the stories here and sometimes I can’t keep myself from crying – I am so happy for those people, because I know how it feels when your dreams come true. Every time, for every little thing I asked for which manifests in my life, I get this amazing feeling. I laugh, jump for joy, and want to cry I am so happy, because it feels so good! I keep saying ‘thank you’. All those little miracles are thanks to you: you helped us to see the truth. You are really Angels sent to the Earth to help people, to make Earth a better, happier place! God bless you all!

Anyway, I’m here to share a story. Actually a few short stories, which have something to do with the Secret, because knowing it really changed my life. I can do everything! I really feel the power now! That’s such an amazing feeling!

So, here we go. In the very beginning the new knowledge helped me do find my favourite bracelet which I’d lost somewhere. It could’ve been lost at the gym where I went after my work (most possible there). Or on the way back home, or after that when I walked my dog before going to bed, or whenever, wherever. I noticed it was gone just when I got up the next morning, and I was really down then – I loved the thing so much! But the same time I thought, “That would be be a pretty good test for all the things I learned lately, if I really set my mind to BELIEVE”.

I’d checked every place at home, I’d looked in my gym-bag, through all the clothes, but I didn’t find it. I searched my bed through and through – still no result. I went to my work with the thought, “I’m gonna find it when I come back home after work.” All the day at my work I kept coming back to the thought, and I also imagined (I SAW it!) myself finding the bracelet. At the end of my working day I already KNEW where I would find it – I’d SEEN myself going home, and I’d seen myself holding the bracelet in my hands after finding it, jumping up and down and feeling completely happy about it.

So after my work I went home, I walked right to the place I’d ‘imagined’ it was, to my bed (even though I’d looked through it like three times that morning!!!), and I just stretched my hand under my pillow. And even before it happened, I already knew I was gonna touch it – NOW. In a moment I’d grabbed it and there it was: lying in my hand! It was SO AMAZING!!! I really found it in my bed just like I thought I would, even if I was sure it wasn’t there! I wanted to find it SO BAD, and I did! I kept on concentrating on the thought: “Nothing can be lost in MY Universe. I just have to find the place where the thing is now.” So I was really jumping up and down for joy shouting, ‘thank you!’ and freaking out my dog with all the stuff.

It’s funny by the way: in situations like that people say, “How big is the chance?!” In the past I always answered, “50/50”, which means, you’ll find it or not. So really my attitude was actually always positive in every situation. But now, with The Secret knowledge, those “positive 50%” are going to the direction of 100%.

Last week something else happened. At the gym (oh yes, the gym again! I’m there really almost every day – story about that comes a little bit later) I was washing my hair in the shower when I noticed my earring lying on the floor. It has a hanger, which is not completely attached to the earring,and when it gets open the hanger slides off easily. And of course the hanger was not there. They were my most favourite earrings, which I hadn’t take off for like 2 years in a row. That’s how much I loved the things! I just thought, “That’s actually pretty funny that I began losing the things I like the most!” So I looked in the shower for the hanger, but how much can you expect to find your earring lying by the sewer-drain… Even with my “50/50” attitude it was hard to believe that there’s something that could help. But I didn’t give up, I looked everywhere in the changing room, looked through the towels… but nothing. I kept one thing in mind: “NOTHING can be lost in MY Universe. I just have to find the place where the thing is now. My common sense kept on saying to me, “It’s not the case where anything can help. Forget it, accept it, just this one time that it’s gone for good, let it go…” And I did. Although I did it with the thought, “I’ll find it back soon when I expect it the least.”

I moved on – I just went to the jewellery store a couple of days later, looking for a hanger which would at least look like the lost one, just to keep on wearing the earrings. No, I didn’t find anything. I saw another pair of nice earrings and bought it just to cheer myself up. I felt myself really down after losing the hanger. At one moment I really had a thought that there can be situations in this life when The Law of Attraction just doesn’t work. I was very upset, but it’s hard to say what exactly I was upset about: about losing a thing or about losing my faith!

And here comes the last story. Just a couple of months ago I started with something new in my life. At the gym they kept asking me if I’m interested to become an instructor to give a work-out to a group of people. I also was in that group and my instructors found that I was doing pretty good, so they thought I’d also make a good instructor. I really like what I’m doing there, but I didn’t have any experience in teaching a group. Even worse: I’m very shy even to speak in public! So, you can imagine how scary it was for me even thinking about staying in front of the group (!!!) on the podium (!!!) with microphone attached to my head (!!!) and to give instructions to people WHILE performing a workout (which alone is very difficult to do)! But even all those things is nothing comparing with the last thing: I haven’t spoked the language (Dutch) long enough to feel myself comfortable for giving instructions during the work-out. I’ve only lived in the Netherlands for about 5 years, and the language is also not the easiest one to learn. Well, actually English is also not my native language either, but I think you’ve already noticed that.

Anyway, keeping in mind those wise words: “You can be whatever you want”, I decided to go for it, to become an instructor (now at least you know why I’m at the gym so often!). The first time with the microphone in front of the group is always SOMETHING! I had this first-time experience just 10 days ago, so all the memories are quite clear. All the time I was preparing myself for that day I kept on concentrating on the thought: “That is who I AM, I like doing it and I’m not nervous at all because I do it every day, I feel myself comfortable standing there in front of all those people. I’m enjoying doing it.” Strange enough – it worked! My first experience was even better than I expected! That was like WOW! How in the world it was possible I still don’t know! I had no problems with speaking, I didn’t feel myself freaking out or shaking or being nervous (well, just a little bit). It really felt like I know what I do, I was self-confident, my voice was strong and I felt myself also pretty strong. It was amazing! All of the instructors watching it were like, “Wow, that was completely perfect for the first time!” I’d never expected it would work like that, but it DID.

And there was also a second time, and a couple of days ago I did it for the third time… Awww, I can’t describe how BAD it was! I had a sort of “black-out”, I was shaking, I didn’t know what to say anymore. I KNEW what I had to say, but I felt that words just didn’t want to come out of my mouth! I had a feeling like I was nearly fainting… I was completely out of control, I felt myself completely helpless there. It was a very terrible experience (which I’m still very thankful for!). All the time there I kept looking for the answer – WHY did it happen? I didn’t feel myself nervous before the lesson, but when the moment came and I had to perform, everything went wrong (well, not completely, but not really in the way I wanted for sure). That was like the worst nightmare ever. I kept on asking myself why. WHY??!!!

Just a moment later I was given the answer! Like it was said in the movie: “Please let something completely unexpected and amazing to happen today”. I walked out of the room where the training just took place… looking down and feeling down… and just in one moment I KNEW: everything will be just FINE, there’s nothing to worry about!!! And then I couldn’t believe what I saw lying on the floor right in front of me! I picked it up – it was THE hanger, which I lost like FOUR days ago! It was lying there on the floor right on my way, so I would definitely see it! But how come nobody else saw it there? There walk hundreds of people over the floor, it was certainly cleaned up not once, how can this be possible that I’d find it back on that place?! But actually I don’t really care HOW, because I’m so glad to get it back! I was SO SHOCKED in that moment, and I still am when I think about it. I feel the shiver every time, so unbelievable it is! My common sense is speechless. Amazing! That was exactly like I thought: “I’ll find it back when I least expect it.” I indeed found it exactly in the moment I thought about it the least. And talk about perfect timing! I’d call that “a slap from the Universe” which I completely deserved! In one moment everything went completely clear to me! Not only because I found something I really wanted to get back, but also because it happened in the moment when I was looking for the answer: WHY? It was given me this way – with THE SIGN! I really needed the sign!
How could I ever doubt that it would work?! I was about to lose my faith and THIS happened!

That was the answer I was searching for. I let myself lose control of my thoughts, and I felt the consequences right away! I had everything messed up in my head. No wonder I got everything messed up in the work-out at the gym. So easy was the answer.

Now I wear the “old” earrings again. They became really very special, as you can imagine.

It was the Sign from the Universe to me: Whatever happens, keep the faith. I’ve really LEARNED the lesson.

“It works. NO EXCEPTIONS.”

THANK YOU!!
