I Am Truly Grateful For The Secret.
Submitted by: Catherine F.
Ontario, CanadaI'm 44 years old, I'm married and live in a small town, a train ride away from Toronto. I went to school for film and media and now run an "artist-run" centre in an up and coming art community. I love my job, but it's intense and I have little time to create my own films/videos anymore, but now I believe that will change. PS- I have used my middle name for this piece.
I have been a reader of self-help books for many years. Growing up with little money and not much hope for the future I knew early that I had to battle the hopeless thoughts that come from not being able to afford school, owning only hand me down clothes, toys and books and having to take care of myself while my mom, a single parent, went back to school.
Against all odds I was able to go to University on a loan and after graduating I spent quite some time with only contract work here and there. I met a friend, a young playwright, who was producing his first large show and was ecstatic with his success. He recommended that I read The Secret.
While reading it, it seemed familiar, like something I had already known in my bones but it had just never been said to me. After The Secret, I read The Magic and continued to practice the daily rituals. Soon after reading these I landed my first full-time job in a long time, after a year I became a manager and then a year later The Director of Operations. My husband and I still had a modest life, but it was my dream life. We have a beautiful house that backs onto a ravine, we eat really well and enjoy vacations to amazing places. Every morning I have continued to wake up and say my gratitude for everything that we have.
Well, last Saturday night we were watching the full moon and I saw a falling star. My husband asked me what I wished for and I said “Nothing, I already have everything I want”, so I sent a thank you out to the Universe instead. The next day we stopped at a drugstore to pick up a few supplies and I bought a scratch and win, I don’t even know why, I rarely buy them. I won the grand prize, “Cash for Life”! I’m still in shock as I write this, it’s hard to believe it is real but I do know this, that The Secret works!
Thank you!
