Hi Athena,
I have always really enjoyed your approach to manifesting and just wanted to thank you for supporting your viewers through the information you share on your channel.
While in the midst of dealing with some heavy circumstances, it was hard to see that manifesting successes come at any point in your journey. I think that sometimes we can fall into the trap of not recognizing our successes, especially when we are working on one specific manifestation/topic. With that being said, I wanted to share a few successes I have had to show that successes come in all shapes and sizes, even when your circumstances feel terrible.
I work at a bar during the summers as a way to make money for uni. I have had several work successes there that have been so fun to watch unfold. At the time of my first success, I was a below average bartender. I often would go in the back to look up recipes just to make drinks correctly. One day, I was not feeling very social and was feeling generally under the weather. I remember thinking to myself as I counted the cash drawer at the beginning of my shift “it would be cool to make $100 tonight without doing much work at all. No wait, $200 would be even better”. After that, I went in the back to do some dishes and deep cleaning. I told the other bartender that night that I would be happy to just hang out in the back and do other tasks, since I was feeling off. For most of our shift, we had one or two guests at the bar, so my help wasn’t needed. I briefly talked to one of the guests about my studies at uni, but I didn’t expect much to come from that. Later on in the night, this guest asked me to make him one of our specials which is my favorite to make. He said he enjoyed our conversation earlier and wanted to give me a gift since we don’t split our tips. I looked at the tip he had given me and it was exactly $200. All I did was make some lighthearted conversation and one drink and I received my $200.
When I reached the end of my time at this bar, I knew my managers were really sad to see me go. A few weeks before my last day, I remember thinking to myself “I do so much work here, it would be nice if they gave me a nice send off”. An image of them decorating my work locker briefly came into my head, but I thought “oh well”. My last day comes and they had decorated the outside of my locker and the entire bar with fun decorations and pictures to celebrate my last day. Even better, I opened my locker and found a bag filled with treats. I had worked there for some time and had never seen anyone else get treatment like that when they left. That one truly was a surprise to me.
But the change hasn’t stopped with me. Similar to your career success, I manifested a promotion for my mom without even trying. I always knew that she was destined for great success. Her organization had a big promotion that needed to be voted on. When the time came for the voting, not only did she win, but she also beat the woman currently in the position. Apparently, that person had been doing a terrible job and many people wanted her out. Not only were people excited for the change, but so many have reached out to express how excited they are to see her leadership specifically.
Again, I want to thank you for sharing your wisdom without putting it behind a massive paywall. It is proof that you don’t need a magical course in order to change. The change starts within each of us, and you do such a wonderful job of reminding us of that. I can’t wait to start working with you soon so that the success starts flowing in all portions of my life as well.
