WHAT I KNOW NOW I WISH I KNEW BACK WHEN!
Submitted by: Angela J.
Long Beach, CAIn January of 07 I lost my job. Although I was upset I did not let losing my job get me down. I knew that my rent would be paid and everything would be fine.
In April my son went into the hospital and I went from happy to sad. I prayed and prayed that my son would be OK. As days passed he got better and better, and was able to go home after 13 long days. While sitting at his bedside I had thoughts of going back to school to further my education.
One day I was job searching and came across a flyer that said: office machine repair class for free! I thought to myself, this is it! I called the number right then and there. Yes it was true the classes where free, and because I was on unemployment they paid for my schooling and books. So I started classes the next week. The class was for 8 hours a day, 7 days a week, for 12 weeks. When I finished the classes I went on many different interviews. For some reason I was not happy with either the times of operation or the distance.
Then my boyfriend showed me The Secret. I bought the book first and finished it in a day. Then I bought the DVD and played it over and over again. I began to focus more on what I wanted. I told a friend of mine that I would be working on October 1st with the hours and distance that I wanted.
Low and behold I had an interview on the 25th of September and they offered me the job the same day – and wanted me to start on October 1st. I was so happy and took that offer!
Now, the Secret had been working all along and I did not even know about it. What I know now I wish I knew back when!
