I started my car and began to drive to school for a performance and classes. As I exited my parking lot, my car’s gas light had come on. I knew that I had at least 24 miles to go on what was remaining in my gas tank. I was not sure that would be enough to make the round trip to school and back home. I had approx $2.92 in my bank account until I got paid the next day.

Instead of hitting my internal panic button I thought to give what I had learned in “The Secret” a shot. I was a bit skeptical. I calmly grasped my steering wheel and continued to drive. All the while I kept repeating out loud, “I am eternally thankful for the $5.00 the Universe will send me for gas today.”

I performed in a concert and attended all my classes with no sign of the much needed gas money. I continued to repeat silently to myself, “I am eternally grateful for the gas money being sent to me via The Universe.” I mentioned my needing cash for gas to no one at all.

My last class for the day was an evening class that ended at 9:00pm. As I entered I kept stating to myself over and over, “I am eternally grateful for the $5.00 The Universe will send me for gas.” I brought in CDs of a lecture the teacher had given us the previous week that I was requested to make for my fellow class mates. The teacher made an announcement; “Joe made copies of last week’s lecture for all. As a token of appreciation and materials used, everyone needs to give Joe $1.00.” I almost fell to my knees and burst into tears of joy on the spot. There were ten people in the class and three people stated they did not have change and would pay me next week. That was a total of $10.00 and I only asked for $5.00.

After the class concluded I was in a state of shock, as this was my first time using what I had learned in The Secret. I drove to the nearest gas station and pumped my gas (enough to get me home and to a station the next day to fill up) in tears, thanking “The Universe” for coming to my aid and providing for me.

I am now convinced beyond any shadow of doubt that “The Secret” works, and am ready to live the life The Universe is willing to prepare for me.
