Thank you note

source

While thinking about the title of this post, so many thoughts went through my head, twirlling around inside my mind, with burning desire to say all at one. But a simple "thank you" is the one that really sums it up. I have so much to be grateful for in my life, but this post`s title goes to one thing in particular. Few weeks ago I have submitted my resume to a particular company for a very special job opening. I have been craving a change in my career for so long, but it was hard and I was becoming very negative and depressed about it. Accordingly I was considering this to be my last chance to do it. The resume was sent 18 days ago, I waited and waited for that call. A friend of mine got that same job in the same company several months ago and said that it took them about 3 weeks to call her. I was counting the days, marked that 31 Oct in red. Looking at it, when my number will be up! On another note, a different friend, my sensei, she was trying to teach me some secrets to The Secret.

"Nothing can come into your experience unless you summon it through persistent thoughts."

At first I was a bit skeptical and scared. Scared of what was really going to happen with that job and I was worried if I was to eager in wishing it that I will be very disappointed. I never thought in a way that, what if – I got the job? Let’s not be hasty. I am not there yet but a wonderful thing happened yesterday. While reading before mentioned book The Secret, the part of asking the Universe for what you really want, the phone rang. I was reading the part where you focus on your wish and you say thanks for everything you have to acknowledge that you really do value all the blessings in your life.

"What do you really want? Sit down and write it out on a piece of paper. Write it in the present tense. You might begin by writing, "I am so happy and grateful now that..." And then explain how you want your life to be, in every area."

I am really thankful for everything I have, my life, health, my family and friends, my animals and all the “little” things that sometimes are material but make this wonderful life a bit more beautiful. Don`t get me wrong, I am not saying that material things are important in life and crucial in any matter, but I would be lying if I said different. It would be hypocritical of me to claim I only need spiritual non-material things to be happy. I do enjoy a pretty dress and amazing shoes. Playing dress-up, eating delicious fancy food or traveling. But in the end, I do realize that what is truly important in life is love. Honesty. Friendship. Positive thinking. Helping others. Being there for others and supporting them. Cherishing time with loved ones and showing them how much they mean to me. While writing all these thing down on a paper, and having my dream job in mind, they called and asked me to come for an interview. I know I am not still there but I am so happy. So grateful. And most of all so inspired. Believe that it's already yours. Have what I love to call unwavering faith. Believing in the unseen. I had nothing to lose by believing it would come true. I asked for it. And it is coming to me. Some may see this just to be a coincidence. Feel free to do so, to think so. But what is the harm of thinking and doing positive? I am not saying that I was magically served what I wanted, I am very qualified for that job, but I just made sure I vibrated on a frequency I needed to really get it.

"See the things that you want as already yours. Know that they will come to you at need. Then let them come. Don't fret and worry about them. Don't think about your lack of them. Think of them as yours, as belonging to you, as already in your possession." Robert Collier (1885-1950)
