I had been really down for weeks about not landing a job that pays more. I came to my breaking point one night after feeling depressed for days, I finally said to my husband, while sobbing, “What’s the point?, I’ve been on interview after interview and no one offers me a job.”

The next day I got home from work and turned on the television. I caught the last 10 minutes of Oprah, which just happened to be a follow-up show discussing “The Secret”. I was immediately intrigued by the discussion so I went to my family room and got online.

Upon going to Oprah’s website I read a little more and upon googling I was able to print out a list of the principals surrounding The Secret. I began reading these principals out loud and acknowledged gratitude for all I have. A week or so later I got a call from my manager stating that she needed to talk with me when I came in the next day. I kept a positive attitude and told myself she wanted to meet with me about something positive. Well she did. The next day she told me that I would be receiving a 1k bonus for agreeing not to leave my current position.

And it gets better. I have been wanting a new car for quite some time, but would never go out and get one. My husband began pushing me to go on and get a new car. So in late March after searching for a few days, I logged on to a car dealers web-site and found the exact car I wanted. It even had the seat color I wanted that we weren’t able to find during other searches. I swear it’s almost like the car came out of nowhere! We had just looked on the same site earlier that day and the car was not there! So needless to say the next day we went to the dealership, and get this, they gave us double for my old car what we thought they would! Being positive and expressing gratitude truly does work!
