You are always moving towards your true desires.
I began to understand the law of attraction at a conscious level when I was in 11th grade back in 2011.
My motivation in learning the law of attraction was to get my high school crush to love me back. I didn’t know how the law of attraction truly worked back then.
I knew that reality is going to render opportunity and also work with you to fully help you manifest what you want.
In 2006 I was using the law of attraction without actually knowing how it worked. I was a natural with the LOA.
Back in October 2006 I was in 7th grade and a private in the Army Cadet program. My mom began to tell me that my thought creates my reality. She had recently heard of the book called “The Secret.”
I was very inspired in my Army Cadet career. I didn’t know that my level of inspiration was actually moving me towards my desires. I had some desires at the time, my first being about being the best Army Cadet in Canada. The other being about helping my cadet unit be the best unit in Canada. I was very proud of my success in cadets and strived to be an MVP calibre cadet by helping those in my unit become better.
In 2004 my Dad passed away suddenly. I also look back in this time of my life as one where the universe was communicating with me. I was having a conversation with my Dad about 4 weeks before he passed away. We were talking about not taking life for granted. He told me that anyone can pass away without warning and I began to wonder if he would go out that way. I had a deep feeling that his passing was imminent.
Later on that May he passed away suddenly.
Part of my motivation for joining cadets was to make him proud. On Feb 11th 2006, I went to my first NHL game. I didn’t actually love hockey at this point in time. But it’s a day I always remember because only 2 years later I would become obsessed with the NHL and a die hard Ottawa Senators fan.
Back to the law of attraction.
The first part of manifestation is being clear about what your soul really wants. This comes down to feelings, not physical objects.
I wanted the joy of winning. As a competitive soul, I always wanted to come out on top. In cadets I wanted to be the most excellent cadet in my unit, but also to have the best possible unit.
I wanted to become the Sergeant Major before the end of my career to help my unit while leading by example. Using my leadership and rank to influence my cadets for the better.
In 2006-2007, I was promoted to corporal after setting the intention to get my promotion in Dec 2006 ahead of most of my peers. I earned the promotion by being on my shooting team and drill team. I also knew my dedication to excellence would be the reason for this success. Sure enough my intent manifested because I had a very strong desire to be a success.
In class when I was in grade 7 I would actually draw pictures of myself in uniform as the Sergeant Major. I would have a chance to get this position in 2011 or 2012.
In 2008, I was a die hard Sens fan and wanted to attend NHL games. My Mom’s boyfriend would take me to 20 Sens games per year. I was able to manifest this desire because of how badly I wanted it. I also didn’t enjoy school that much, and my Mom was able to put me in a private school to allow me to excel in cadets.
I was able to accomplish a lot of my success in cadets because I had a couple of unfair advantages. But I took full advantage. It’s amazing what the universe will do to manifest your soul desires.
My soul desire to be a great cadet and attend hockey games had a common theme. I wanted the feeling of winning, and winning as a team.
I strived to be the best individual and team player I could possibly be.
My future self had plans for me, and the law of attraction can sometimes work backwards in time. You can have a destiny to be in a certain position in your future, and your future self can influence your current self to allow you to manifest the life of your dreams.
You want to have a sense of trust that life has big plans for you.
I have always had trust in the universe.
My imagination was a preview of life’s coming attractions.
Everywhere I went as a leader, I was dedicated to helping those around me. I personify leading by example, and in Cadets I was respected long before I was able to recognize how much respect I had.
In 2011 I was going for a promotion to Chief Warrant Officer, and one of my friends got the rank ahead of me. My defining moment in Cadets was how I responded to this. I knew the following year I was going to get the promotion, so I did my very best as the senior Master Warrant Officer. I embraced the role I had and strived to show my peers the value of loyalty to the unit and not giving up.
I ended up realizing my dream on June 3rd 2012. I was promoted to Chief.
At this time I was also appointed the Drill Sergeant at Connaught Ranges. I met one of my best friends that summer. We talked to each other lots about the law of attraction. We knew each-others language. To this day I see him from time to time, and we always have great conversations.
That summer he was a company sergeant major, and I was the second in command of the entire camp.
The day before I was appointed Drill Sergeant, the base RSM had a conversation with me saying “there’s no doubt in my mind you can do this job” he left the conversation at 11:11PM and the next day I was appointed DSM of the camp.
The law of attraction can work in any direction of time.
In 2013 I was arrested as I got in trouble while having a manic episode.
At the time I didn’t fully know God had a plan for me.
I was found Not Criminally Responsible on the charge.
At the hospital I was getting help from I would eventually become the peer support worker in the same program I was in. I got hired for the position in 2022.
The life I have now is way better than if I was the one who scripted it.
Sometimes the universe has a plan.
I wouldn’t have been able to script my own life as well as the universe did.
Throw a lot of ball hockey in the mix and I get to play the game I love at the highest level in Ottawa.
You don’t always get what you think you want.
Drop socially conditioned desires and hone in on the true feelings you want to experience in your life.
Success, inspiration, triumph, winning, helping other people.
There’s no limit to how much you can create in life, and your life will be made of moments, not things.
Ask for a life with rich moments. A movie is made great for the moments, and you will have your moments.
To your success,
Angus
