My Dream Job.
Submitted by: Lisa C.
MaineI'm 50 years old and in the midst of a drawn out divorce. I was in an emotionally abusive marriage for 20 years. My husband and I owned our own business for 14 years, so I was able to stay home and raise our kids, as well as working for the business. Two years ago, I accidentally discovered that he had been soliciting prostitutes. He moved out and I was depressed and scared about the future. I hadn't worked outside the home in 15 + years, had no skills, and didn't know where to begin.
After getting out of an emotionally abusive marriage of over 20 years, I found myself 50 years old, depressed and scared about my future. I hadn’t worked outside the home in over 15 years as I had owned our own business, and I felt hopeless. My lawyer asked me what my dream job would be. I said I’d always thought about working at a Dr’s office at the front desk. But I really wished I could work in a non-profit, making a difference. At this point, I didn’t know about The Secret.
I started taking classes on working in a Dr’s office to become a Medical Admin Assistant. One day, I wrote down a list of exactly what my dream job would look like. It included good benefits, wages, co-workers, etc. and I also wrote: “Bonus- a non-profit”. Every day I read my list in the morning and at night. I started believing I was a good person, with a good heart and I deserved a good job.
I ended up being one of over 100 applicants chosen for the position I got, even though I hadn’t finished my classes. It was my absolute dream job! A Patient Service Representative at a Federally Qualified, Non-Profit Health Clinic that serves anyone regardless of ability to pay or life situation. Our patients include families seeking asylum, who can’t speak English and are living in shelters, as well as many people who have just fallen on hard times.
I have great benefits and work with the most wonderful people who share my thoughts about making a difference in the world. I say it a lot; I love my job! I happened to be telling one of my co-workers about how I wrote down what I really wanted and read it every day. She got all excited and asked me if I had watched “The Secret”. She couldn’t believe that I had never heard of it and told me to watch it immediately, which I did. I couldn’t believe that I had actually manifested my dream job without even realizing it!
I completely believe in this now and have used it to get the house and man of my dreams. It works!
