I have known about the law of attraction for quite some time now. Ever since my friend introduced me to The Secret a few years ago I have believed, but I have only practiced it on and off. I just recently got back on track with it.

I had been feeling really lazy and unmotivated for quite some time, and I decided I needed to use The Power to get myself where I needed to be. I started focusing intently on gratitude, and after only two days of doing so, I was offered to go on a vacation that would be free of cost to me. My favorite thing to do I travel so I knew I was on the right path. The next night, I had a dream that would erase all doubt of the power of gratitude from my mind forever.

Quite a long time ago, I had told the Universe to send me a message whenever I was on the right track in my life in the form of me seeing my dream car, a classic El Camino. Whether it was in person, on TV, or even on the computer, I always did seem to come across a classic El Camino when I was feeling great about life and my future, but this one example takes the cake.

I had a dream that I was at someone’s house, and outside they had just the body of an old rusty El Camino on a trailer. However, the shape of it looked a bit strange to me so I went to the back where it usually says the name of the car, and it read “Merci El Camino”. I didn’t know what to make of it so I headed inside to ask about buying it, and that is when I woke up.

I woke up at about 4:30 A.M. and thought about the dream. I did not know what Merci meant, so I looked it up, and it turns out to mean ‘thank you’ in French. I had already known that El Camino meant ‘the way’ in Spanish. So basically the name of the car was saying “Thank you is the way” or “Gratitude is the way”.

I took that dream as a message that all I have right now for my dreams is “the body”, the foundation and that gratitude is the way to get everything I am looking for out of life.

I am still working on getting clear about what I want and manifesting it, but this dream forever cemented my belief in the law of attraction and the importance of gratitude.

I would like to thank Rhonda Byrne for her incredible work and all the other wonderful people who have shared stories here that keep me motivated. Hopefully I can write another story soon saying that all my dreams have come true!
