Does it work?
Submitted by: Janet R.
UtahI am 56 years young. For most of my life I have suffered from depression - thinking that this was my lot in life. I have felt that outside forces were causing me to feel this way, or biologicals that were beyond my control. I am now happy to find out that I DO have control over how I feel and that NOW I CAN be HAPPY!
I watched the Oprah 2nd episode on “The Secret” and was so intrigued by the concept that I came to this site and watched the movie! I began to feel that there was something that I could DO to help myself and guide my husband to help HIMSELF to the wealth of the Universe – keeping in mind our own faith at the same time.
I had felt that I had FOUND a key element of un-found truths which had been and WERE at my disposal my whole life! But since I had never fully understood how they worked, I had lead a life of depression, which had unfulfillable apsirations and uncontrollable financial problems.
I was miserable and was a miserable person to be around.
My husband(s) both were unfilfilled and miserable and negative to be around, so it was a merry-go-round of which I couldn’t seem to get off of.
The next day AFTER I found “The Truth”, I attempted to put the concept into action.
I awoke and thought of all of the good things that are in my life. I embraced myself and my own goodness. I allowed my self to feel good and to think positive.
During the day, I attempted to tell my husband about “The Secret” and how it works. I told him that money would come to us and that we would find financial freedom. This was a POSITIVE statement. He was skeptical, to say the least.
As I “floated” about doing my chores and finding grace within me, I went outside to find a beautiful day! We worked in our yard and I decided to go to the mail box to get the mail. Inside of it were about 7 little checks that we had forgotten about from a re-bate which we had participated in during Christmas, totaling $115. I took them to my husband and told him “See, it’s already working!!”. I explained about taking a $1.00 bill and putting enough zeros in it to make it a $100,000 bill. I told him that we WOULD make that money this year. Still, he was skeptical.
Next, he went across the street to talk to a neighbor who was cutting up some lumber to ask if he could have it instead. As they talked, they made an agreement for my husband to put in a sprinkling system for him, in which he would pay him. My husband use to be a landscaper and we have just moved into a new development in which there are many new homes in need of some type of landscaping and sprinkling systems.
Now I think that he is beginning to believe me in how this works.
Again – I have been trying to locate a friend of mine who moved about the same time we did and we seemed to cross paths and were lost to one another. I had paid one of those “Find your Friend” places twice to try to locate her. I had placed this into the hands our my Heavenly Father and into the Universe to help me find this friend. I told myself “I will find ____”
I got to work after the news about the money to see what could happen using these principles. I wrote up a couple of letters addressed to the “past” places where my friend had lived. I had them in the envelope and the thought came to me to try out 411 to see if I could find her. I called the number and asked for her husband’s name – but they couldn’t find someone in the WHOLE state with that name, but I again had a thought to ask for her name. I got a hit! Now, we moved 300+ miles away from our old residence and I had heard that she had moved to the next state. I called the number and asked one of the kids if they knew my dogs – which they did! They gave me her cell phone and THERE SHE WAS!!! I am SO excited to find her and she needed a friend too! We are going to see each other today!
I still have to work on the negative feelings, as these are habits from a long life of negativism. As I go along and learn more about “The Secret” I know that I will become a new creature in God and in the Universe.
Look out world! Here I come!!
