Chicago, ILI am a young graduate student. I've been searching for a job.
I read The Secret when it first came out several years ago. I simply skipped through the texts to the parts I wanted to read and didn’t actually digest the material.
Finally, in the beginning of 2011, I watched The Secret movie. I feel this changed my life. Inspired by the movie, I watched re-read The Secret, downloaded The Secret iPhone application, and have read The Power.
I wanted to document what changed in my life since I started applying the knowledge from The Secret and The Power, so I started a journal.
It started small, like with things like bus fare and parking spots. I found visualization and feeling to be keys to the success of these.
Eventually, in my journal I wrote down exactly what I have been looking for in a job, a relationship, and in my new apartment.
First, I focused on my job. I wrote down key words like “close-knit”, “energizing”, “gratifying” among other things I was looking for. ONE DAY LATER I saw a post online for my dream job. These three key words were even in the company’s mission! Not only that, but everything else I was looking for was included in this job description that just came out of nowhere!
I took it a step further and after applying and sending in my resume, I took the phone number of the owner and stored him in my phone as “My boss”. I wrote in my journal every night about how much I loved my job, how good it felt to be successful at it, and how gracious I was to have it. I visualized entire days at my job, from meetings to lunch breaks. I felt how it’d feel when my boss called me and said “you’re hired”.
Not a day later I had an interview and 6 days after that I was hired. 🙂
I won’t go into details about my relationship, but lets just say that last week I didn’t have a boyfriend and this week I do 🙂
I’m so excited and grateful for my new apartment!…
