                A soldier deployed to Iraq had been praying to get a revelation from all the bad things she was seeing around her. She had downloaded this book and read it in two days. Initially she started attracting small things then she started attracting big things such as a civilian high paying job, three raises and a wonderful husband. She started believing in abundance and made a goal for an amount that would give her the financial freedom she wanted. She put it on her corkboard along with all her wish lists. She kept visiting it year after year. Each year she would manage to work through all the items on her board except for the large amount. In the process, she learned a lot about her financial responsibilities. Then one year she finally found that she had attained it even though she had stopped keeping track of her progress and started to believe that she was already getting there.

                A lady in Manhattan had started following the book by getting up early, going to her balcony and expressing her gratitude for the day. One day she found a penny on her balcony. Several months later she found seven-dollar bills. One fine day she found two twenty-dollar bills. Each time she asked people around her missing money, she found none.

                A family living in a dilapidated house had struggled for fourteen years to move but could neither afford it nor cope with their place. They collectively watched The Secret and started believing. They remembered a house on sale they had liked and wanted to live there but couldn’t afford it. They collectively visualized it. Soon their house appreciated while the one they wanted to live in remained on the market and even had a price drop. Finally, they moved into their dream house.

                A lady wanted to go on a world tour of all the landmarks she had collected in. She heard about a dream job of selling high-end jewelry on a cruise ship. She ended up visiting all the places she had put in her yearbook. The highlight of her belief was that she wished for a commission from her sales to match a certain number specified to the last digit and on one of her cruised she got a round number commission of that very amount.
