Now that I think about it, this may have been a manifestation that I've never thought about until now.

Whenever I thought about getting a job, I always wanted to get something that would value my talents. I consider myself pretty skilled in HTML/CSS and web design, and so I didn't want to "waste" my talents by working in the retail or food sector, just to have a job. So with this thought, I never really looked for a job, and didn't think much of it.

Fast forward a few years later, and I got an internship at Oracle, my first job, and it was just as I wanted. Now, my internship has ended and I am working here as a contractor.

On another case, when I thought about buying a car, I always wanted something that I thought I deserved. It had to have a certain set of features (black on black interior, luxury/sport, etc..) and these were made while I was a few years from even driving. Fast forward a few years and I ended up buying a used Audi A4. Although I guess you could say for this, I was actively going to purchase this specific skill set, but maybe having this 'idea' engraved in me from a long time, I decided to make it happen?

Whatever the case, I guess I believe in the LoA.
