Just Like That And Our Lives Changed Forever!
Submitted by: Yvette v zyl
Cape Town south AfricaI am a caring person. I always had been positive but like others, I also got discouraged, stressed, and worried. I was in a orphanage as a child. I had the worst life you could ever imagine until about 7 years back. I met my second husband, a great man. We went through some struggles together but he always loved me. About 2 months ago someone told me to watch The Secret. I did and I changed my mind and said this is what I want to test out for myself.
First off, thank you to all reading my story. We all always have so many stories to tell.
We’ll this is a story that will never appear on the news because it is a happy story and we all know media only go for sad and depressing stories.
2021, Happy New Year. I thought that this was going to be a year to remember because of all the good things that 2021 could bring. I was so wrong but just because I didn’t know better. At the end of 2021, a friend my husband worked with on the oil rig told us to go look for the movie about the law of attraction on Netflix.
On my birthday nothing special happened. Funny how only so much later in life do you realize that all the negative things you say will come your way because it’s like you were waiting for them to happen. I always used to say my birthday always brings me bad luck, I will never, ever have a great birthday and I was so right, thanks to myself and my negative thoughts. Anyway, 3 days after my birthday my husband lost his job. We ended up selling all our stuff and lost the house that we rented. We ended up in a room with our 3 dogs and my son had to stay with a friend so that at least he still could attend school, a school we could not even pay for. I sold my phone to rent this room and it was only for enough a month. After that month we had no idea what we would do from there.
We had a good life prior to this, but we were willing to accept any work at this stage. For almost a week and a half me and my husband sat in that room, depressed, stressed, and we kept praying. That was all we could do in our minds.
Then the phone rang and it was a company that was offering my husband a 3 month job to renovate an old historic building. The salary was very small but he took the job. At the end of that month, we moved out of the room into a fully furnished house. We did not have money to pay the deposit or to even buy food. But we could not stay in that room with 3 small dogs and without our son for any longer. We always had to make plans for the day after tomorrow and it just felt like we were going nowhere.
One night I told my husband to ask his friend from the rig to help us by lending us just R1500 to buy food. His friend said yes, come over and collect the money. We got to his house and he invited us upstairs to his bar area. He spoke to us and told us he was also almost a year without work and then someone told him to watch a movie called The Secret. He said he watched the movie and in a short while he received an amazing job offer. He told us that we had to watch the movie.
So we left his place and the next morning I was on my friend’s Netflix account looking for this movie. After the movie, I started to do research on the law of attraction. I told my husband “You need to see this, I will watch it again with you.” He watched it but with no faith really. The next day I watched it again and made notes. I started to meditate, call positive things into my life, and I just refused to be or think negative.
The end of November came and the company told my husband that the contract was finished and they did not need him anymore. Also, all the companies were closing for the festive season.
We had only R1000 and I told him with this money we will have the best Christmas ever. We will pay our rent with this money and buy electricity and food for the month. My husband replied and said that money doesn’t just fall out of the sky. I told him that today it will, you will see! We did not have a car so we took an Uber to the casino. My husband was skeptical and said if we lose this money we have nothing. I told him today is my lucky day and we will not lose 1c today, we will walk out as winners. I won R25,000 that night and we had a great Christmas day.
I started to do meditation, reading about angel signs and the Universe. I was confused at first but I said I am going to be positive and keep reading and studying everything that is positive. And I did.
My husband was still moping around because now again, he still had no work and no income. I told him to come and meditate with me, let me take you through my notes, and show you why I still smile every day. I showed him everything I knew about positive people attracting positive things, the angel signs, crystals, prayers, etc.
He started to meditate with me. Never in my 7 years with my husband have I ever seen him so positive. I was grateful for him being so faithful and positive.
A week passed. Every morning we meditated together and just thought positive thoughts. I decided I was going to ask for an angel sign and just trust in the positive. While I was meditating, I said please provide me with a sign, just to know that everything will be more than okay. As I opened my eyes, my pomeranian sat on top of me with a feather in her mouth. My tears started to run down my cheeks I was so grateful.
Not even 10 minutes later, my husband’s phone rang and it was an agency that was offering him this great job! If he agreed to take the job he must start on Monday and it was Thursday morning. The job was not based in Cape Town and at first, we were a bit discouraged But then I told him that this is our year and that job is yours, we will move with you and start a new life together in Witbank.
The next day he had an online interview and they gave him the job on the spot! On Saturday they paid us money to pay for our house in Cape Town and to buy food!. My husband flew to Johannesburg that Monday morning and started to work. The salary is 3 times more than what he used to make and they provided our family with a home and a company car! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
The house that we were currently renting in Cape Town was up for sale and we need to be out by the end of this month so the timing was perfect!
I know that this is only the beginning of huge things for us. I can start my own beauty salon again and we can focus on our dreams and on our future.
I am so grateful for the opportunity we had to get to know about The Secret even if it was due to bad circumstances. Now we will never have bad circumstances again and we can continue to help others.
