Three Contest In One Day!
Submitted by: Sonya Stewart
Portmore, JamaicaA law student soon to be fashion lawyer and fashion mogul who will change the Caribbean fashion industry. Giving thanks every day and finding new ways to express my gratitude to God!
This is my second time posting a story here but I know it won’t be the last because the Universe is always finding ways of showing me how important my thoughts and feelings are in manifesting my reality.
I have read The Secret, The Power and The Magic as well as watched The Secret many times over and have been a firm believer in the Law of Attraction since the latter part of 2010. They are all my go-to books and film when I need a top up or when I simply need to change my energy.
To Rhonda and her team, you have surely outdone yourselves with The Magic. Thank you.
In the first week of reading The Magic, I won THREE contests in ONE DAY and this is how:
Usain Bolt’s restaurant Tracks And Records (UBTandR) began a musical series of having Reggae and Dancehall artistes perform every week. I remember seeing the ad on their Facebook page and thought to myself, wow imagine if Sizzla performed, I DEFINITELY would have to be there. Sizzla is one of my favorite Reggae artistes of all times. If you started singing a line to a Sizzla song, I would finish it!
One day while on Facebook, I saw that the next artiste to perform the following week at UBTandR was Sizzla. My heart skipped a beat. I thought to myself, wow I would really love to go to that show at no expense to me and declared the Universe would find a way.
The day of the concert, a Tuesday morning in class, my mind ran on the Sizzla show. I thought of how I would finally get to see him perform live with a band on a small stage as opposed to the usual major stage shows we have in Jamaica where people are usually lost in the crowd. I went back on UBTandR Facebook page and looked at the flyer, again smiling.
In literally a matter of seconds, Heineken, the official sponsor of the show, tweeted on Twitter that they would be giving a complimentary VIP pass to the first person to tweet them the name of the founder of Heineken. I think it took me five seconds to Google the name and tweet Heineken with a reply!
Heineken received SO many answers in the first 30 seconds I almost thought, wow, I might not be able to win. But just as I thought that, I replaced it with: Are you crazy Sonya, this is YOUR VIP ticket, this is how the Universe will allow me to see Sizzla live in concert.
Just like that, they tweeted me I won a VIP pass for myself AND a friend. I could not stop expressing how grateful and thankful I was to the Universe! So I got to see Sizzla perform!
That same morning in class after winning the tickets to see Sizzla, I went back to Facebook where I saw Skkan Media, a major photography entity that captures the best parties and major events in Jamaica, was giving away tickets to an oldies Party “Stir It Up”, to the first person that could tell them the name of the artiste in the picture they posted. They posted a picture of Beyonce and I was the third person to answer.
But I WON because I was the first person to not only spell her name correctly, but include her last name as well: Beyonce Knowles.
I was on fire.
I just remember nudging my friend beside me in class telling her how The Magic is working. What is so amazing about this win is that I have always wanted to go to an oldies party in Jamaica but something always came up when they were taking place.
Well Skkan Media was not done with the giveaways because literally an hour later they asked another question for two more tickets to Stir It Up and I was the first person to answer AND to answer correctly.
I was on a roll.
I just kept thinking that as I was finding all the things I was grateful for. Including winning tickets that morning, the Universe was giving me more things to be grateful for, that is, winning more tickets. It was the best feeling ever! I just kept saying thank you over and over again in my head. I thanked Heineken, I thanked Skkan Media. I was just in a great state of being thankful.
It even got to the point where other people on Skkan Media’s Facebook page started complaining about “this girl Sonya living on Facebook and winning all the tickets and not giving others a chance”. So Skkan Media decided to not give me the tickets for the second win since I already won two.
But do you think I was disappointed?
I was in AWE because The Magic had turned me into a quick manifester by just writing 10 things I was grateful for that morning!
The feeling I got each time I answered those questions and posted them was how I KNEW it was mine and I WOULD win!
I believed with unwavering faith!
