The secret

My mother is constantly telling me about a book I must read, which makes sense seeing as we both share a strange obsession for literature. The book is called The Secret which I have recently learned is being turned into a movie, so for those of you who do not share my passion for reading you can watch the movie in the near future.
The basis behind the book is that if you have a goal that you wish to obtain, all you have to do is send that message off into the universe and the universe will figure out all the bits in between. Know what you want, honestly believe that you deserve it, and it will come to you. Sounds like a great idea to me, And what can a little bit of wishing hurt?
on the advice of my mother I sent out into the universe last week that I would like to get a job interview, and voila I have two this week. Could the universe really be working it's magic for me?
So here I go again...

Dear Universe, whether you be a he, a she, an it, or some religious diety that the people of the world pay respect to, I would like a full time job this week, preferably one related to my career, that can help me to obtain my future goals.

I can appreciate the power of the universe, people of the world have believed in sending their messages off to god's for years so why not send them off to the universe in general? Could the universe really be listening?
