I didn’t realize it at the time but I was manifesting what I wanted before it was popular or well-recognized. Knowing how it worked then, I’m beginning once again.

In high school, I was involved in Army JROTC. I always had planned to join the military but my freshman year sealed the deal as to which branch because of the leadership of my instructors and my own research. However, I started practicing manifesting before I knew what it was.

For my entire four years of high school, I would walk into my JROTC classroom and look at two posters. The first poster was Army units around the US and the world. The second poster had all the Army badges and awards at the time. I would point at the “unit” poster and land my finger on the famed 82nd Airborne Division, and then on the “badges” poster, land my finger on a combat-related badge and airborne wings.

Fortunately and unfortunately, September 11th happened during my senior year of high school. I graduated early and left for the Army. I originally had a contract to become an Army Ranger but because of my previous focus, the Universe had other plans. I completed all my initial training and airborne school and went to Ranger tryouts. I didn’t qualify for the Rangers and got assigned to the unit I had been focusing on, the 82nd Airborne Division. Shortly after arriving at my new unit, we received orders to deploy in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. From that deployment, I earned the two badges I had been looking at in high school.
Now I’m back on track and working to manifest the life my wife and I deserve. I know that it will happen because I know it works from my high school days.
