New Career, Who’s This?
Submitted by: Elle Martinez
New JerseyI'm a 35-year-old woman, who has been on my own since I was 18. I have used The Secret all my life, but I've recently come to search for it more and more.
First and foremost, thank you Rhonda, and the team behind The Secret, you all have changed my life in a drastic way, and I mean that in the best way possible. I am currently writing a book because my entire life is a testimony to the law of attraction. Thank you for the power you have given to many others like me. You have given us freedom and the power to change ourselves and our circumstances, and in return help those around us.
Like many others, I lost my job of four years in the pandemic, and to me, it was a complete shock. Not only because I loved my job. I worked in hospitality and I was aware that this would be the last industry to come back to life since people had to be in close contact with others. I worked in NYC and lived in NJ, and both places are supersaturated within that industry since the shutdown, due to many businesses that couldn’t live through the financial crises and had to shut down.
Then things started getting better for both states, and I had gotten a 1 to 2 days a week job as a barista, just so I could feel like I was doing something, and to see people. But it wasn’t the same. Suddenly, my heart wasn’t in it at all, now that I look back. I even remember days I would feel more annoyed than grateful, but eventually, I started to like it.
I took a week off, to go pay a surprise visit to my brother on his birthday. I flew first class, which was my first time, sent a cake ahead of myself, I got balloons and everything else. I showed up, things were going great until we went out that night and it was like my world changed. I went out and got drunk and blacked out, meaning I didn’t remember anything. I woke up and noticed my wallet and my phone were missing, and I was feeling like crap. I was angry about it all, and I went to stomp my foot on the concrete to get my shoe on. I felt this pain and I knew something was wrong. I didn’t care, I am so stubborn that I just hopped around, went to Walmart to get crutches, and told myself I’d be fine. At that moment, I remember feeling scared, but I thought, trust in the process. I didn’t get mad after the accident. I remained calm and made the best of it. I didn’t have health insurance at the time, but I could apply and I would get it because I was unemployed. This would be the first time I would be able to qualify for a lowered rate since I had made a lot of money before.
I had to fly back home and ended my vacation a week early. Now I had to literally sit my ass down all the time, the same exact thing I remember complaining about. Now I really couldn’t physically work, and I knew it was serious, I couldn’t straighten my leg. I never let anything stop me though, and I thought that I had to get out of this rut! I applied for health insurance, but due to the enrollment period, I now had to wait until January 1st to use it.
Now, as I mentioned before, I discovered The Secret books in 2010 and they have since changed my life, but this new one by Rhonda, The Greatest Secret, takes the cake. I was so hopeful and so open and ready for a change. It felt as if your book spoke to me. I got in touch with my inner self in a way that I can’t explain, and I felt more connected than ever to the Universe!
So I started practicing and I began to shift my ways of thinking and I started remaining more and more as awareness.
I went from making a little over six figures a year to making around $30k from unemployment. But I had been looking at it the wrong way because at least I had that money coming in and that was a blessing. So I started to shift my ways and my frequency.
First I started by writing more and more affirmations and I thought of all the times the Universe has shown up for me in my life, and I would cry every time. Then I started working on my resume. I asked the Universe for the perfect job. I wanted a job I would be great at, that I would appreciate, with a boss that would be a delight, a job that paid me well, and this company would help me grow and put me in front of the right people. What did this mean for me? It was a gigantic change because it was a complete change of career path and I hadn’t worked in an office environment since 2008. However, I’m extremely smart, and I speak 4 languages, so I knew I would get a decent one.
I asked the Universe, started working on my resume, and posted it online a week ago. And today as I am sitting here typing this, I am more than happy to tell you I am the Chief Of Staff of a branding and marketing company in New York City and I work directly with the CEO! They offered me double what I had planned to ask for! I also get bonuses, plus dental, health, vision, and insurance! And I also get a brand new designer computer and a new iPhone, which are two things I had been wanting. My boss is also being flexible with me due to my leg, and I am going to start working part-time and increase my hours as I start getting better.
This job is everything I wanted and more!!! I am beyond happy and ecstatic! Everything had felt like it was all going wrong, but it was all to take me the right way. My life is just beginning and I owe you all for this gift you’ve given me. I have this peace inside of me, and today I’m a ball of light and positive energy wherever I go. I will be publishing my book, this year and I do plan on dedicating some of it to this team that has helped me build who I’ve become,
Thank you, Universe! Thank you, Rhonda! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
