Or really just the power of positive thinking.
I'm very much an optimist and tend to think I've had a pretty charmed life. You could spin it another way, as I've had homelessness, a shit marriage, depression, debt, poverty blah blah blah. But all that notwithstanding, I think I'm an incredibly lucky person. My ups outweigh my downs, by far.
Anyway, about six years ago I did a proper Cosmic Ordering shizzle (marker pen on my hand and everything, a la Noel Edmonds), and got a windfall, a new car and a new house within six months (which was exactly what I'd 'asked' for).
I'm not woo enough to think it was all handed to me on a plate because I asked for it, but I do genuinely think that if you visualise what you want, write it down if you feel the need, and believe in it, you can make anything happen. I've done it again in the last few months, and things seem to be working out better than I could have imagined.
What do you think? Do you believe in the power of positivity, and that we make our own luck, or do think it's all a pile of toss? Do you find that being optimistic leads to taking more chances which in turn leads to greater opportunities, or do you think I should stop barking on about it when clearly it's just blind luck and/or coincidence?
And yes I have had celebratory 
so I might be on a bit of a positivity buzz.
AIBU?
