When I was a young Petty Officer 3rd Class in the U.S. Navy after returning to our home-port in San Diego after a 6-month stay in Japan I told most of my Division shipmates, I intend to go back to Japan, live and work there. Most of them laughed at me. Little was known at that time about manifesting abundance or realizing ones dreams through the power of intention.

As the time neared to leave Japan I let my Japanese friends in on the fact that I intended to come back as a civilian. Most nodded and smiled but secretly doubted my plan and probably thought I was just young and foolish. Perhaps their attitude was what led me to pursue my intention to return.

Even after mustering out of the service I used my vivid imagination to visualize myself back in Japan with my friends. I could see us going all around Yokohama where I planned on setting up my residency and when a year had gone by I found myself actually back there. Visualizing on a daily basis had resulted in a sought-after manifestation. I had an apartment and work in Yokohama just as I had visualized. The power of intention worked.

During my twelve year residency in Japan I met and married my Japanese wife. She bore me two beautiful AmerAsian children who are the love of my life. As wonderful as my life was I was still ignorant why the things in my life had come to pass. The power of intention had manifested my situation but I was to stay oblivious to its workings for some time to come.

The Manifestation of a New Job

Years later after bringing my family back to the States I found myself in a position of wanting to get a better job because the one I had was proving to be inadequate. Anyway, I picked up a copy of the local Yellow Pages and began thumbing through it. I just knew I could find a job that would meet my family’s needs.

One of the Yellow Page ads was for an overhead door company. Not knowing what an overhead door was (being in the Navy meant it was a door on the ceiling) I was pretty confused. Curious, I called and asked the owner of the company what it really meant in civilian terms. He enlightened me about garage doors and roll-up doors and the light went off in my head. Then he asked why I had really called.

So, I let him know that I was looking for a job from the Yellow Pages. He was surprised when I told him that I would have a job by the end of the week and asked me a lot of questions. Then out of the blue he suggested I visit his office that afternoon for a face-to-face interview. He said my attitude and determination impressed him.

During the short interview I saw myself working there, wearing the same uniform as the boss and the other employees. The visualization was like amplifying my intention and adding power to it. He didnt even have a position open at the time but because I impressed him so much he created one just for me.

Getting that job was really great and it’s too bad that I didn’t understand that the power of intention was instrumental in me getting it. The subject of intention and the Law of Attraction have inspired several authors to write detailed information on the subjects. I only wish I had recognized how I had been benefiting by them at that time.

Negative thinkers I’ve known have said my life is a concoction of coincidences. Fortunately I have learned the importance of the existence and the need for utilizing the power of intention and the law of attraction which has had and continues to have a great impact on my life. I read books on this subject, listen to CDs and watch videos continuously.

SO, WHAT DO I INTEND TO DO NEXT?

I’m going to continue working my Internet business from my northern Panama home and making it even more successful. I also intend to write more and help others attain their online goals. I’ll enjoy the visits of friends and family and the sweet presence of my granddaughter who I love to play with. I definitely intend to be a good friend to people, an improved father to my kids and a better person overall.
