I find that things always happen unexpectedly, in other words: a watched clock never runs. When I want something to happen, and I think and think and think about it, I just drive myself nuts. But the moment I stop thinking and anticipating is the moment things go my way. For those of you into The Secret, this probably sounds blasphemous, but for me it's what seems to work. Maybe my instincts are just off. For example whenever I go into a job interview and think I nailed it, I never get the job, but when I come out of it having doubts I always seem to get the job. Maybe I was just granted the same lame instincts as my lame sense of direction or visual spatial abilities that make putting food into different size tupperwares a challenge.
