Have you ever just thought about something happening and then, seemingly by coincidence, it happens?

Question

Is it possible that just by thinking something you can make it happen?

Answer 1

Yes and Yes

Answer 2

All the time..its so amusing when it happens.  Check out a book called Godwinks.  

Answer 3

coincidence i believe..i imagine if you think of something long enough it might come about

Answer 4

It even has a name....synchronicity.

Answer 5

As trivial as this sounds, it happens all the time, when I receive a text :P

Haha do you know what I mean though? You have a gut feeling that a text will arrive, take the phone out of your pocket, and then it buzzes! It takes me by surprise everytime :P

On a more serious note...

I think I kind of know what you mean - maybe it's all human perception, like when you don't feel confident about something and then you do really bad; maybe just behavior and mentality?

I'm sorry my answer is so unorthodox; I hope you find a scientific answer that helps explain better!

P.S: I wanted to email you about this, but since you don't allow it, I'm here instead; I wanted to say thanks again for answering my "what is beauty" question, and after reviewing it, I have to say I agree with your answer the most; I also believe beauty is life, and in essence everything we have is a gift and should be treasured, because life is beautiful. Sorry I didn't give you the best answer, and if possible, it would be great to contact you again sometime!
