Thank You Universe!

Submitted by: Natasha M

Palo Alto, CA

I am person who believes that only good things will happen to me because I asked the Universe for it...

I lost my job a month ago and I was really depressed. As I stood outside the gates of my old office, I struggled to come to terms with the fact that I lost a job where I was doing really well, and though I was supposed to feel only pure grief and anger, what I felt was a mix between sadness and this little sense of relief and freedom. I didn’t understand right away why was I feeling those. I mean, I just lost a job; it was normal to be sad and discouraged.

I had been practicing The Secret for quite some time, but without much belief in it, so at times I would manifest what I wanted and at times it was like the stuff I asked never came. However it never really bothered me that much since I wasn’t really into it.

So when I lost my job, I realized this is the perfect opportunity to practice The Secret. Now, I had to find a reason or pay gratitude to the present scenario which was a little difficult, so I explored that small sense of relief I had felt the first day and probed deeper. It’s then that I realized that I had in fact attracted this into my life, because though I was doing great, I always felt there was something missing, like I wasn’t getting enough out of my job, both with respect to job satisfaction and salary wise. However I had always buried those feeling, but they were inside me and I realized that deep down I wanted to be free.

So I did the first step. I made peace with my situation and thanked God that he got me out of that job, and then truly believed that something good was going to happen. I started asking myself what kind of job I wanted. I listed the environment where I would want to work, the salary I expected, and the kind of people I wanted to work with.

Soon enough, I saw an opening in a company I would have never considered, and as I became more familiar with this company and its work, I listened to my voice and I browsed the job opening. Surprise! A job was open and by the description I knew that moment I wanted that job. I quickly applied and waited for the call.

For three weeks nothing happened and my eagerness was wearing off. I could see myself getting impatient, so I sat down and asked myself, what was I doing wrong? To answer it I watched The Secret again and I realized my mistake. I wasn’t ‘Receiving’. I wasn’t feeling the feeling of having that job – it was always like I will have that job, it was always in the future.

So I stopped myself and truly believed I had the job. When my mom called up to ask me about updates, I sounded cheerful and I didn’t let her anxiety get to me because I knew I had a job. I printed out offer letters and would sit with it daily, visualizing the celebrations that would follow when I showed the letter to my parents. I would literally see their smiles and hear their words of ‘Congrats’. I would see myself making calls to my friends conveying the good news and I would feel real joy as I sat down with the offer letter.

Those 15 minutes were the best part of my day. At times I would put on the Chariots of Fire theme to enhance my visualization. In fact, to not make it a chore, I would seek out new inspirational or soothing instrumental music and then have fun visualizing. I would also pretend to have conversations about how great the interview went and how awesome my new team is, or how nice the campus is. In fact whenever I felt down, I would make believe, both sitting with an old friend and telling her how happy I was now that I had my new job. I would pray every day, thanking God for my new job and for turning my life around.

Within a few days I got the email asking me for the interview date. Man, did I shout and whoop like a maniac. That was the time I knew I was unstoppable. I knew I would get this job. I would do great at it and I was going to be happy, successful, and healthy for the rest of my life, because I had the Universe as my guardian angel and it would always give me what I asked for. And it did, every time, no exception.
