My First Manifestation.
Submitted by: Trisha S.
Olympia, WAI am a mom of 3 and recently separated from my husband. I have been so focused on being married, raising kids, and building my career that I lost sight of myself and my happiness. I knew I needed to make changes in my life if I was ever going to be happy. I happened to stumble upon an advertisement for The Secret and ordered it. From the minute I read it, I knew it would change my life. I am now focusing on being positive and finding happiness.
I finished the book The Secret about 2 weeks ago. I have since been trying to align myself with its teaching. I have been focusing on getting all negative thoughts out of my head and replacing them with positive thoughts. I had been struggling, and I was not sure how to make all this happen. I knew that I was going to have to start somewhere but I was not sure where. Well, today happens to be the day, and here is the story of my first manifestation.
My daughter took Driver’s Education almost 10 months ago and has been putting off taking the state’s written driver’s exam because she was scared that she would fail. She has test anxiety and normally does not do well on tests. She had not studied at all since passing The Drivers ED class. She finally decided to just take the exam and she figured she would fail, but it would at least give her an idea of what the questions were like. So, today we made plans for her to go take her exam.
This morning, I sat up in bed and did the daily gratitude practice that I have been doing since reading The Secret. After that, I sat there and thought I would not allow my daughter to go into this test with negative thoughts. So, I sat there and gave thanks for her getting an 85% or above on her written test. I actually visualized it in my head. Then, I brought her into my bathroom and told her to let go of all the negative thoughts she had in her head about how she was not going to pass. I had her repeat after me that she wanted to thank the Universe for giving her a score of 85% or higher. That she had no doubt in her mind that it was going to happen, and then we ended it with thank you, thank you, thank you. I told her that she had to truly believe that she was going to pass with an 85% for it to work. She then took off to get ready to leave.
Quickly, I opened up a blank Word document. At the top, I typed Written Driver’s License Exam and then her name. I then printed it out, took a permanent marker, and wrote 85% on the paper. I gave it to her in the car before we left the driveway. I said, look at this and believe this is going to happen. We then drove 45 minutes to her exam. Before she went into the exam room, I reminded her to rid her mind of all negative thoughts and see a score of 85%.
About 25 minutes later, she comes out from the exam, and not far behind her was the instructor. The instructor said to her that she passed; she only missed 6 questions. I asked what her percentage was, and the instructor said it was 85%. My daughter and I looked at each other in shock that her score was exactly what we had asked for! My daughter said, “Mom, I thought you have been sounding kinda crazy with all the talk of being positive and our thoughts becoming reality but now I’m not so sure and I would like to watch The Secret movie!”
I have been smiling all day and telling anyone who will listen to me what happened. I knew after reading the book that it was going to change my life, and I have just held onto that belief waiting to figure out where to start.
Thank you, Universe, and thank you, Rhonda Byrne, for writing The Secret.
