I'd forgotten all about this particular manifestation until last night.  This one happened YEARS before I'd ever heard of the Law of Attraction.

It was the fall after I had graduated college.  I was working this sales job selling copiers and fax machines - and I hated it.  I loved some of the people I worked with - but the selling of copiers I did not so very much enjoy.

I'd actually found this book called "Psycho Power" and it was about being able to "control" people's thoughts and such.  Some sort of mental power of persuasion.  The book focused on doing good though.

Anyways, I felt really happy and upbeat after reading it.  I really couldn't tell you why.  I vaguely remember the thought going through my head of CHOOSING how I felt - that I could choose happiness.

Well, I go to work one morning and my main boss was there.  He actually worked out of another city two hours away so he wasn't there every day.

He asks to talk to me and proceeds to tell me that he knows I'm not really happy working there and they wish I would be but didn't want to force me to stay in a job where I was unhappy.  So if I wanted I could no longer work there (I wasn't being fired - if I wanted to keep working there I could have) AND he was going to let me take a few weeks off with pay.  In other words - I didn't have to do anymore work.

Wow!  I had actually been really toying with the idea of quitting so for him to make me that offer was fabulous.  It might have even been better than what I'm remembering. 

But it just so happened - I was feeling really happy and then I got something really great - two weeks off and being released with no hard feelings from a job that was making me sick to my stomach.
