You know, I had a good friend once tell me some voodoo nonsense about if you believe that you have already done something, or believe that something has already happened, and are assured that it will happen, just assume it will, and it will. Of course, I called him stupid at the time. It was back in our schooling days, and it was in the middle Fall, we were months from the possibility of a snow day, and he just started babbling about how glad he was that there was no school tomorrow. He explained what I said above, and I scoffed at the notion and gave him a lecture about how the world didn't work that way. You can't just hope or wish for anything, as it will never come true unless you provide some sort of effort to have it happen. The next day, as I got ready for school, I got the automatic phone call saying that school was closed. A squirrel had touched the power lines and blew the transformer, so the school was without power. Since that day, I don't doubt voodoo magic.
I would tell you that the exact same thing happens to me - in reverse.
