A little story of encouragement

So in my country we have a website similar to a m a z o n - basically for buying stuff - its not as efficient though.

Last month I ordered a product and they sent me a wrong item and wouldnt refund even though they have a refund policy .... now the price of the item wasnt a lot... maybe an equivalent of $5 ... it wasnt worth fighting with them about it. It would be a waste of energy. yet it really effected me that I couldnt get something so small fixed in my life, how would i do anything big?... and hence i decided to take up this battle.

For 3 weeks I pursued the matter. Made repeat calls, emailed, contacted chat agents - discussed, explained, intimidated for legal action etc - nothing worked. They were adamant on their way.

So I decided to leave them a final email and if it didnt work id drop the matter. I told them I had filed a legal case against them and they should be getting the papers soon.

(Truth: I hadnt filed any case although I had considered the option in my mind).

Anyway - the same day I got a call for them that they would refund me.

I was surprised.

Reasoning doesnt work in all situations, instilling fear does! Unfortunate , we have to take such strategies in life but what is the alternative if not that.. i wonder.

Anyway - I really felt glad about this victory of mine. Not about the petty amount. But the fact that I could achieve something if I set my mind to it. I could take up a bigger fight of justice in the future and ace it. This little tale boosted my confidence. It signified to me that luck could easily go in my favor if I had the right cause and was perisistent in working on it. The purpose for which I had taken up the battle of having confidence in myself was accomplished.

I just wanted to share this tale with you to encourage you to believe in your power. Because thats what I found through my experimenting.
