The Guitar

Clinton MAMy hairstylist told me about The Secret. I love the book, DVD and the website! The Secret has changed my life.
I play classical guitar as a hobby. A friend put my name on a mailing list for a music store in California that specializes in selling classical guitars. I received a catalog one day (long before I read and watched The Secret) and noticed an expensive guitar that I called, “my dream guitar.” I cut out a picture of it and put it on my refrigerator.
About a year or so after I put the picture of the guitar on my refrigerator, my aunt passed away. I unexpectedly received a small sum of money from her estate. My husband and I had purchased a home but didn’t have money for a dining room set. We saw one at a furniture factory located in the town I live in but it was too expensive. I kept going to the store to look at the dining room set. One day it was gone but I kept thinking about it.
When the check arrived from my aunt’s estate, we went to the furniture factory to see if there were any dining room sets that we could afford with the small gift of money from my aunt. The sales rep showed us around the showroom. We didn’t see anything we liked. Then he told us to follow him and he took us to an area that used to be the factory. He explained that the owners were going to shut down the factory and that they were trying to sell furniture that had little marks/dings and were marked down.
Just as we walked up the stairs, my husband and I saw the dining room set we had wanted. One of the chairs had been broken and on the inside of one of the table leafs, there were some marks that nobody would ever see. He sold us the set “As Is” for 1/4 of the original cost.
I was ecstatic that we still had money left over. We went home and I looked through a recent edition of the classical guitar catalog. I didn’t have enough money to buy my dream guitar but I had enough to buy a much nicer guitar than the one I had currently owned. I placed my order and was told that there would be a wait of several months for that guitar because it was handmade. My gut said, “it’s OK, buy that guitar”, so I did.
The evening before my guitar was supposed to ship out to me, I received a call from the guitar store. During a move to another location, my guitar was damaged beyond repair. They said someone had purchased another guitar made by the same guitar maker. The person who bought it decided to buy a different model and returned the guitar after two days, virtually unused. I was asked if I would be willing to accept that one instead and that the guitar was worth much more money than the one I had paid for.
I inquired about the guitar and you won’t be surprised that it was my dream guitar.
The store honored my purchase price but sent me my dream guitar that was worth twice as much!
After that, my hairstylist told me about The Secret.
I knew from experience purchasing the dining set and my guitar that the Law of Attraction is real.
I have progressed in my studies of the Law of Attraction and am so grateful for becoming an even happier person because of it.
