Will things that you want to happen, happen if you don't focus on them? Read on...?

Question

So, if I don't think about things I want to happen, or if I don't hope that they happen, are they more likely to happen? I don't know...it sort of seems to happen that way for me, anyone else?

For example, theres this guy that I sort of wanted to see ('cause I like him) at this big, outdoor social event thing, but I hadn't seen him, and it was getting late so I assumed he wasn't coming. Well, I was in the bathroom with two of my friends (out in the back corner of the building, so there was like, nobody there) and we step out of the bathroom...and there he was! It was sooo weird. And then afterwards I kept trying to spot him so I could know where he was, and I couldn't find him, and I'm pretty sure he left early.

I mean, I have other examples of stuff like this, but this just happened yesterday, so I decided to mention it.

Answer 1

No, I don't believe so.  The universe is mostly random in these matters.  People love to make a mystical or mythical correlation between thoughts and events, when only happenstance is the culprit.

Answer 2

No. Its the other way around. Whatever you think about with the most INTENT (like you KNOW its going to happen, like the sun is going to rise) and the most emotion will happen the fastest. I know its spooky, but because you were thinking about him and concentrating on that guy, he was drawn to you. Simple really.
