Like 5 years ago or so, I started noticing, that if I am really focused on getting something, and REALLY want it, as in think about it all the time, circumstances somehow appeal to my desires and make it happen, not that I don't do anything for it.

I wrote a whole article on this subject (not in english though), basically what it came to was the reason Religion was born. One is obviously to explain where life came from, second is that when people pray, they ask their _god_ for stuff and keep on asking _him_ for that. If they keep being motivated enough, people attract the stuff they want.

There had been some really crazy shit in my life, you wouldn't believe me if I told you, but when things looked pretty much impossible, I stayed focused and _attracted_ (omg, that sounds so stupid doesn't it?) what I wanted, and eventually it happened.

But now that it's a fad, I don't really feel like talking about it. My friends were like - hey you really believe that shit? After I reply that that shit is the reason why I have everything I ever dreamed about, they think I'm an idiot making fun of them.
