- Brett Winters, 25, a would-be world traveler working as a bartender in Canada, was working to save money for his dream trip. Every day, he said, he would do visualizations. "I would close my eyes and picture dollar signs falling from the sky. Or someone coming up to me and offering money." One day, one of his customers was describing his own travels and Winters told him of his dreams. The customer said that when he was young, someone had given him a gift of cash to help finance his journeys and asked that he repay that favor to someone else some day. He took Winters' address; three weeks later, the young man got a check for $7,000 in the mail from his customer, with the request that he take his trip and then "pay it forward" by financing someone else's dream someday.
- In "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind," Joseph Murphy tells of a young man who was short and not particularly good-looking, but always joked that "the ladies just like me. I don't know why." It was the young man's standard joke to talk about how "popular" he was. But Murphy noticed that, in fact, women did seem attracted to the nondescript man. The more the man claimed that women found him irresistible, the more women he met. He finally married a beautiful woman.
- JB, whose story is detailed in "Harnessing Your Creative Power" by Ultimate Destiny e-books, had one of the worst jobs you could imagine, working in the sub basement of a prison, testing prisoners for sexually transmitted diseases. The inmates were belligerent; his coworkers were miserable; he had to eat his lunch in the room with the blood samples. But every day as he walked from his car to the prison, he said, "I have a wonderful, beautiful job." He wasn't applying for other jobs---just saying the words. After a few weeks, he got a call from a former coworker asking if he'd be interested in a hospital lab position. He applied, was hired and now makes far more than his prison salary, working in a clean and modern lab. He has a wonderful, beautiful job.
- Catherine Ponder, in her book "The Healing Secrets of the Ages," writes about a young man who came to her in great fear over his financial situation. All he had left to his name was his warm winter coat, he said. After praying with the young man for an hour, Ponder told him to walk home, focusing on prosperity---without his coat. The man walked out into the street, shivering, but hadn't gotten more than a block away when a friend he hadn't seen for years pulled up and offered him a ride. On the way home, that friend also offered him a good-paying job. He then asked if the younger man had any use for an item in his back seat: a warm coat.
- A woman who was wishing for an RV was writing down her wish when her small daughter happened by. Their story is told in "Law of Attraction Success Stories" by Anisa Aven. The woman explained what she was doing, and the little girl, Kaya, asked if she could make a wish, too. Kaya wanted a stuffed dog, so she drew a picture of the dog and dropped it into the family's "wish box" without a second thought. The mother was moved by the little girl's faith. She didn't buy her daughter the stuffed dog, but waited for the universe to answer. A few weeks later, the family visited an RV show so they could better picture what it would be like to have their dream vehicle. At the show, a vendor walked up and gave Kaya a little stuffed dog.
