Manifested My Dream Condo!
Submitted by: C.J.B
Washington, DCLearning each day and becoming my best self.
I had just graduated from college and was working part-time as a bottle service waitress in a few nightclubs. I was making really good money and was able to pay my student loans off in full right after I graduated. I’m always so grateful for the money I receive, and I love to give money to others which has naturally enhanced my abundance. Because I had so much money coming in I decided to stack up my savings. My grandmother suggested that I buy a condo since I made enough to afford the closing costs and monthly mortgage.
The idea first scared me but I knew it was the next best step. My boyfriend at the time had just watched The Secret and urged me to watch it too. This was in 2010. After watching it I realized that I could have whatever I wanted, I just needed to believe. I decided I wanted a condo with high ceilings and a loft, and it had to have two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
First I got approved for a loan and started condo searching with a realtor. At the time I was living in a small dirty house with 3 other roommates and 3 dogs, of which two were mine. When I would drive on the highway I always noticed a pretty neighborhood with beautiful buildings. I would think about how it would be a nice place to live, but knew nothing about the cost to live there or the name of the neighborhood.
I searched for a home for almost a year and couldn’t find anything. I had put offers on 3 places and somehow each time it didn’t work out. I started to feel stressed about the situation because my current lease was coming to an end soon and my landlord already had new tenants signed for the next lease. I had to find a place and buy it within two months because I refused to pay rent any longer.
I then remembered The Secret and how I didn’t need to worry about “how” I was getting my condo. I just knew I would get it, so I started buying things I would put in my new home. I basically acted as if I already had the condo. I bought two TVs and stored one in my mother’s basement because I didn’t have any space for it at my place at the time. I bought kitchen and ovenware that I knew I would use for cooking in my new place. I prayed a lot and would thank Jesus and the Universe in advance for answering my prayers. Any free time I had I searched for homes online and watched property buying shows.
Then one day I came across a listing for a “sun-filled two bedroom condo with high ceilings and a loft”. There were no pictures to see what the condo looked like but the description had gotten my attention. I immediately contacted my realtor and told him I wanted to see it.
When we arrived in the neighborhood I realized it was the same neighborhood I would see as I drove on the highway. It was even more beautiful up close. A gorgeous gated community with bike trails, ponds, and beautiful buildings. I fell in love immediately. I was a little nervous because the listing price was higher than my budget. But since it had been on the market for a while, and other homes in the neighborhood had recently sold for less, my realtor assured me we would get it for the price I wanted.
Long story short, on May 16th, 2011, I bought my dream home! We closed within one month from putting in an offer. It was perfect timing because my lease was up in two weeks for my old place. I had no idea I would manifest the neighborhood I had been admiring from afar for so long. Buying my condo was a huge accomplishment and 8 years later and I’m still here.
What worked for me was to believe that I already had my condo. Using my imagination to feel the excitement of living there, and taking the necessary steps to get it.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you to Rhonda and The Secret team for making The Secret. It has changed my life for the better.
