My adventures in manifestation began early in life. Of course, I didn't understand the concept, but what I believed would happen happened...captain of the track team, scholarship to prestigious law school, etc.

Shortly after admission to law school, I started to have doubts. After being offered a summer associateship at two of the largest law firms in the country, I look around and thought...how did I get here? I remember calling my father during one of the orientation luncheons and saying that I didn't fit in and was afraid that I wouldn't get a permanent offer. He responded sagely, well if that is what you are thinking, then you have lost it already. And I did.

Despite that, after I got my law degree, I always thought that although I was a great trial attorney, I didn't have the instincts for making money. In addition, my only goals were to own an SUV and my own home by 30. As a result, I got the SUV and the house, but didn't make "attorney" type money.

Due to mismanagement, I got into trouble with my practice, and rather than deal with it, I resigned abruptly. Having just started to understand the law of attraction, I got another great position as an educator, with a side gig as an adjunct professor at a local college. Within a few years, I had been selected as a candidate for an administrative position. However, my wife and I would mention, "gee-I can't believe I was able to walk away from the law practice and its problems with no significant consequence."

Then, of course, after four years of teacher I got a notice that my educators license was going to be revoked because of the manner in which I left the law. That meant I would never be able to get a professional license again, I'd lose my home, my marriage would not survive the stress.

However, I realized that I manifested this upon myself, and for the sake of brevity, despite my wife saying we should put the house up for sale and a lawyer telling me the best he could do was a five year suspension, I focus on manifesting having the issue dropped.

And...as of today...it was...poof! Now, I did withdraw from consideration from the administrative position...which is what I visualized as a fitting exchange for having the license issue resolved in my favor. I had to do that because I couldnt convince myself that it would be dropped without any consequence. The day after I sent the letter saying I no longer wish to be considered, that's when I was notified that my license would not be affected (and no, the administrative position and the license issue was not handled by the same people)

Believe me, without the belief that the issue would play out as i intended it to, I would have sunk into a depression...but I continued to be grateful for my job, my family, and my home......and status quo is a beautiful thing!
Thanks All!
