It all boils down to perception...a strange story.

So I drove out to look at this long board yesterday. I've wanted a long board for a while so I can board on the sidewalks of the beaches. I'm no skateboarder but the longboard is just relaxing to ride, nice way to start the morning. So I go and look at it, and it's way above my price range. Way above. Disappointed I leave. I decide that I want to get some coffee from this particular coffee shop that I love. I think up exactly what I want, not in an attempt to "manifest" or anything goofy like that, just being excited about my coffee. I drive up to the building....and there's a line around the corner in the drive thru line, a huge wait. Disappointed...again, I think quickly about going inside the coffee shop and ordering, but I talk myself out of that and decide just to get coffee someplace else. I drive 2 minutes down the street, and I see another coffee/donut shop and I think about it and decide to get coffee from there.
I get in the drive thru line and I'm sitting there and I say to myself "You know what, I don't want this coffee. I want the orginal coffee that I got excited about from the other place, I don't care if I have to wait." So right when it's my turn to order I just drive off. On my 2 minute drive back to the coffee place, I'm feeling good about my decision to get exactly what I wanted, and not settling for the lesser coffee, regardless of having to wait. Then I briefly think about reality, and LOA/IM/SR type of stuff and I think to myself "It'd be so nice to drive up to the coffee shop, and that crazy long lunch rush line is just gone and I don't have to wait. That'd never happe-"

I get to the coffee place, and the line that like 4 minutes ago stretched down and around the corner was gone and there was absolutely nobody in the drive thru line. I was astonished but could only laugh.

And to add icing on the cake. I wake up this morning to find out that through a series of circumstances I will be receiving $4500, way more than I'd need for a long board, but now I have the extra funds to buy it without dipping into the cash I need for food and rent and such.

Pretty interesting couple of days to say the least.

That is a cool story but I would not call "manifesting" goofy in this section. It may open a can of worms with a few members.

Good stuff, I tend to have synchronicities like this at my bank. For example one time I went to go get a sandwich and needed to go to the bank. I looked at the long ass ATM line and my intuition told me to go get my sandwich first. I got my sandwich, went to the bank and boom, 0 people there.

Nothing huge, but little luxuries like that in life are pretty cool.

That's my kind of laid-back day. Good coffee and easy cash.
