The Wondering Waiter

Submitted by: Cody S.

Parker, CO

I have done everything society tells you one should do, I graduated high school, went to college, graduated college and am now looking for a full time job. However the only work I can find is as a waiter at a local restaurant. I was down on everything, until I read The Secret, now I know that everything is going to work out for me in 2010!

My name is Cody and so far I am about 3/4 of the way through your book. Overall I like to think of myself as a positive person, until lately. I am a recent college graduate; however the only work I have been able to find is work as a waiter at a local restaurant here in Colorado. I have been down on society, down on the system and most of all down on myself. I really haven’t been the usual me as of late, and then I noticed your book lying around my house. So in my down time I decided to start reading through your book because of the great things that I have heard about it.

Anyways as I looked through the pages I couldn’t help but think of this type of thinking as a bunch of hocus pocus. However I thought to myself, what harm could come from thinking positively again, and at least from this my outlook on life could change back into the way it used to be for me. So I printed off the blank check from your website and put down what I want to make for 2010, and I make sure to look at it and BELIEVE it every night before I go to sleep, and every morning when I wake up, before I get out of bed.

And then last night came around. I told myself and others that on Saturday I’m gonna make $183 waiting tables that day. Well I was scheduled to work a double, so I thought it could be possible. Then I kept telling myself that no matter what, I am walking out of that restaurant with $183! Well my morning shift ended and I walked away with $95! So I started believing even more! Then my night shift ended, and as I did a little math in my head I worked out that I had made $181 for the day!! Needless to say I was grinning from ear to ear and I was, at that point, an instant believer of The Secret! However when I got home I decided to count out all of the money that I made for day to get that exact number, and I came up with exactly $183 for the day!!!! I am now even more so a believer then I was a couple hours ago! This is truly amazing and there is now no doubt in my mind that I will make the money that I have put down on this blank check I have printed off!

I just want to say thank you for publishing this book, and I know you hear this all the time, but you have truly changed my life, and I just want to say THANK YOU!!!!

Sincerely,
A new believer.
