It's Only Logical
It doesn't matter if I always insist that the power of believing is a very small part of Things Happening (a huge part is really not so much believing as it is actually DOING).
For instance, if your goal is to become a millionaire, you can't sit there and believe yourself to millions of moneys. Working towards that goal gets you closer to it than believing does. I'm not dis-counting Belief as a tool to help you reach that goal, but it definitely is a small tool. A strap-on accessory, a gold necklace that completes the outfit, a little Downy for your laundry. Stuff like that.
But yes, my assertions on that subject are cancelled out by my tendency to be a superstitious old woman.
Take for instance how it is common superstitious knowledge that when your palms are itchy, it means you will be the receiving end of some cash money (ruling out all other possible reasons as to why they would be itchy - maybe you need to wash your hands, or just moisturize them, or stay away from mosquitoes, and so on). There are some variations from culture to culture - if it's your right hand, you will receive money, and if it's your left, you will spend money, etc etc.
To me, if my palms are itchy, I will get money. And it always happens. It could be a riyal, ten, my paycheck, a bonus, a gift, but it is money that I receive immediately after the palm-itching. Every time.
It's when this happens that I wonder which part of my brain is working extra hard to make this true, so hard that the world and everything around me conspires to deliver money to me for every time either of my palms is itchy.
How about that.
