This is not the first time The Secret has impacted my life. Many times in my life I have applied The Secret, the law of attraction and gratitude to achieve my goals. But, this time it gave me goosebumps.

I wasn’t exactly happy with the job but I somehow carried on thinking things might change soon. I helped my new boss set up the department initially. When I told him my problem and what I needed to improve my job satisfaction, he was enthusiastic and promised he would help. I was delighted and thankful. Then I had a interview for contract renewal for the current job. My boss was on the panel. Happily I went to face the panel and that’s when I got the biggest shock of my life. I was grilled and humiliated by my boss. I was told that because I had a kid, I could not concentrate on job. They said my CV was too poor to fit in at the institute. I was at loss for words. Nevertheless, I told them that if my CV was too poor for this place, I will try at better places. The panelists started mocking me and one of them asked me to watch a movie on how women are capable of achieving so many things.

I was shattered. I cried my heart out and that’s when I decided, I don’t need this job. I was depressed. I felt I was stuck. I complained, is this what I wanted? I didn’t do any harm to anyone, why am I not getting any other job offers, why me? I had several sleepless nights.

Then one day, before going to bed, I had a vision. I saw my God smiling at me and I could feel his words “Sabka Malik ek” or, that God is one. I calmed down. I thanked the almighty for the vision. I consoled myself, God is one and he knows me.

The next few weeks were going to be magnificent for me. It started when  I got a call from one of the premier institutes in the country for a regular government job with a higher salary. I had applied to this post over a year ago and had lost hope that I would be invited. I was excited! I have a small kid and my spouse couldn’t accompany me for the interview. I had to travel alone but gradually everything fell in place. My parents agreed to come take care of my kid while I faced the interview.

Before the interview I thanked the panelists for the opportunity. I prepared well and gave my best. Within a week, I got a call for the second round of interviews. I was thrilled.

I decided to inform my current boss. He was shocked but spoke to me as if I would not get it anyway. But I was determined to give it my best shot. I thanked all my well-wishers and I thanked my boss and colleagues for the push I needed.

My second round  interview lasted for 10 minutes. I was thankful to God that I could go back to my kid and spend the rest of the day with family. When I switched on the TV, I saw the same movie which was suggested by the panelists of my previous job interview.

Two days later I was congratulated for my new job! I asked the Universe for a job and I received it!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
