Around a year ago, my mother lost her job and things got cruel at home. She would depressively cry every time because we had so many bills to pay and money was going to get low very soon. We weren’t able to see a solution to our problems and, as a result, sadness began to dominate us.

Months later, I attracted (even though I did not know I was attracting!) The Secret DVD into my life. I read a beautiful article about the book in a magazine and decided to rent the DVD in a store, just to have a better notion about Rhonda’s proposal. At the end, boy-oh-boy, I was so amazed by the perfection of this production! I made myself a copy of the DVD and spread the word to my friends and family. But to be honest, I hadn’t really got the whole clue of it, got doubtful, and almost gave it up. This was when I decided to use the tools learned from the movie to prove myself wrong. We gotta have faith in something or life gets pointless. So why not having faith in my own power?

I gave it a try and chose something I really wish I had at the moment: an iPod. I closed my eyes and strongly imagined it in my hand, I felt the touch of its material, and put on some earphones with good music. Two days later, I received a message on my Myspace page telling me I had won the competition that was going on in a band’s page. The prize? Yes, an iPod! The postman appeared at my door with it like 24 hours after I sent the band my address. At that very moment, I understood what The Secret was about.

Okay, that was sweet, but we were still broke and I was sick of asking my dad for some money. So what should I do? Apply for a new job? It sounded good to me, but I had been through so many tragic job interviews that I became afraid of trying again. On the other hand, lack of money and having nothing to occupy my mind were upsetting me, so that I decided to give it a go, in spite of my hopeless heart.

Few days after that, I saw an ad announcing a job in the Graphic Arts Lab of my college. I sent them my resumé on Friday. On Monday, I received a call asking me to be there on Wednesday. And then it came on my mind: “Why not using the law of attraction this time? If it worked for an iPod, it may work for a job.” I’d never know if I never gave myself a chance…

I was almost giving up, and fear wanted to wrap me, but I remained positive, thankful, and confident. Many times, I visualized me entering the Lab next week and having a great relationship with my mates. I felt the cold of the air conditioner and the keyboard of the Macintosh computer! I thought how cool it would be to earn some money and how proud my parents and friends would get.

Finally, on Friday, I was phoned and told I had been selected for the ONLY ONE chair they were offering. And that, my dear believers, is one of too many motivational stories I’m bound to tell you.

Thank you, Rhonda and everybody who made it possible for The Secret to pop up into my life. Now I can say that my first job is not a job, but a dream come true. I’m starting this Monday!

Love and light for each one of you.
