Before the month of January ended, I actually wanted to have a job right after finishing my on-the-job training. So, I applied The Secret<\/a> and said to myself that it wouldn’t hurt to try. Every day, as I walked to the office of the company I was currently working for as an intern, I felt the feeling of having a job and feeling grateful for it. I remembered how happy I was then.<\/p>\n

Eventually, I was offered a job at the company I was working for. I was so excited and happy! I accepted it and worked immediately, a week after my OJT ended. At first, I enjoyed everything because it was too good to be true. But as the months passed, I started to feel stressed. I lost so much weight and became so cranky most of the time. I started to affect many people around me. I’m pretty sure it was also because I thought negatively. It was too much for me. I started to feel depleted and down most of the time. My relationship with my boyfriend became different. I became so emotional, and I rarely smiled. I used to be so happy and content. My mom even commented how I looked different than before.<\/p>\n

My point is that I let the circumstances around me affect me so much that I forgot how to apply The Secret. I forgot everything that had learned, and I started to take things for granted.<\/p>\n

Then I had an epiphany. So I started watching The Secret film<\/a> again, and I started reading The Magic<\/a>. I knew it would help me get back on track. I tried applying it to simple things, testing to see if it would still work.<\/p>\n

I dragged myself to work. I applied The Magic, and I was thankful for my job but it was not working.<\/p>\n

I prepared a resignation letter and put it on my desk because I was too scared to face my boss. They talked me out of leaving, and I stayed at the company. My boss even threatened me, saying that he would not give me a certificate of my employment. I got scared then.<\/p>\n

A few days later, I applied The Secret, and believed that everything would go well. I called the office and told my boss that I would be resigning for the second time around and would put in my resignation letter next week. I did put in my resignation letter and asked nicely for a certificate of employment via email. The admin in our company informed me that she was preparing my certificate! Yay! It worked!<\/p>\n

They thanked me for the service I had given them. It was actually really fun working with them, even though I knew in my heart that it was not what I wanted. If it were the path the Universe chose for me to be happy and achieve my dreams, I would have felt different. It would not have felt like so much work. If I am on the right path, I would not even have to try harder. I would feel awesome.<\/p>\n

And you know what? I’ve never been this happier. I’m just going to apply The Secret to attract the job that I really wanted. Something that will really focus on what I do want because that is what matters. It doesn’t matter what other people will say because, after all, it is my life, and I make my own destiny.<\/p>\n

Just be happy and enjoy things. Take time to relax and be content. Apply The Secret, and when you achieve what you wish for, it will feel like magic.<\/p>\n

Thank you, Rhonda Byrne!!! I’ll continue to inspire myself with other people’s stories here to feel even better!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
