WHERE THERE’S A WILL, THERE’S A WAY!
Submitted by: Roland C
Nanaimo, CanadaI would like to start by expressing my sincere gratitude to The Secret Team for bringing The Secret to the world and making it accessible to those of us who otherwise may never have discovered it.
Starting from the age of twelve, I’ve always wanted to live in Los Angeles and be a professional working drummer. Less than 1 percent of musicians actually make a living playing music. I’d realized some moderate success where I lived but had never been in a position to do only that without some kind of day job. I always felt like I belonged in a place like L.A., where the music and the industry flourish, and the sun shines 95 percent of the time.
On some level, I guess I have employed some rules of The Secret without realizing it, as I never seem to worry about money, and it always seems to be there when I need it. However, since watching The Secret, I have become more powerful than ever. I bought the audiobook and began listening to it every day, and still do as much as possible. I’ve been concentrating on learning every aspect of it and employing every bit.
I quit my job three months ago and just felt in my heart it was the right thing to do. I had no idea what I would do for money or where I was going from there. Still, I felt extremely relaxed and had faith that everything would be fine and work itself out. As a result, a temporary job materialized, and I made more than $10,000 in two months, which is more than I had been making. When that ended, I had no idea what to do next or where my next paycheck was coming from. Then I got a call from a cruise line operating out of L.A., saying that they wanted to use our band to develop a new series of shows for their ships. We would be working out of L.A. in their big production studio.
All I had been doing was keeping in good spirits, imagining myself living in L.A., working as a musician, and being prosperous and successful. Everything is falling into place, one thing at a time, in ways I couldn’t have imagined. It’s absolutely amazing how it is working, and it truly feels like it’s only the very beginning.
Just listening to the audiobook makes me so happy and puts me in such a great mood, my eyes literally start to tear. I can’t explain it. Even if all I got out of this was a way to look at life and think more positively, that alone would be an amazing gift. This, however, is so much more; thank you for that.
