First many thanks to people who brought the Secret out! It saved me and my family when I really hit the bottom. In 2008, I was jobless, sick, with a small child and utterly without income. I finished my history studies and tried to get any job I could – not just as a historian. But all the doors were closed. All except one. On Oprah one afternoon I saw the Secret show. It moved me in some indefinite way. Although I was at rock bottom, almost starving, without a home, humiliated and hopeless, every night when I put my baby asleep I visualised. Every single night for a month. And then out of nothing, an idea came to me.
I saw an ad for an independent accountant at a school. I had no knowledge, no experience and no one to ask about it. But I recognized the source that my idea came from. I decided to stick with it Eeverybody tried to talk me out of it – it was stupid, there is no job for me there, blah, blah, blah.
Since I was so stubborn my father and grandmother came to me one day. They gave me an envelope with money for my education. That is where it all began. In three months I finished my course, got the first job in another town. Six months after that I got an offer for a promotion due to my university degree and non-stop working. A year later I was a chief of finance in an international company leaving most of my worries behind. Currently I’m working on opening my business. And still learning about myself and the Secret..it is endless. Have faith and just start working. That is really all it takes.
Many kisses from Croatia.
