***Disclaimer***: I am not speaking of anything really concrete. I am not delving into religion eather. I'm just delving into a possiblity we were taught to ignore.
At one point or another in our lives, we received advice that sounded something like "Just believe in yourself and everything will be okay." For quite awhile, I have been studying this phenomenon.
Why would the fact that my belief in myself or others at 100% would have an effect on anything? And that is what I noticed. Ever since that post with about 50 questions to keep conversations going, I've been thinking. One of those questions was "Has anything ever happened to you that you could not explain?". Why yes, many times in fact. But why could I not explain them? Simply because I was overlooking one basic fact: I believed in myself.
When I played soccer today, I scored a goal that I know I wouldn't be able to pull off again at will. I had a split second to act with the ball in my posession and so I shot a near impossible angle shot that went in. I did not have time to question my ability to take that shot, I just took it. Luck? Perhaps.
A few years back. I was in my room and I was mad. I was so angry that in my head I played scenes of me being a sorceror and raining terror on the world and after a flash of lightning followed by terrible thunder I would be seen. And so I opened my eyes and I spread my arms and called forth the power of lightning. There was not a doubt in my mind. At that instant, lightning did infact strike outside my window and the door opened and my parents came in and I was seen after the flash and the thunder. Just as I wanted.
A few months ago, I was on a road trip with my family and we were driving down a straight highway. My brother and I were talking about our powers and I told him I had supreme power. He ofcourse wanted me to prove this. So I looked behind me and so did he. There was a car following us. I said "I'm gonna make it crash". I waved my arm like a jedi would and concentrated hard on what needed to happen. For a few seconds nothing and my brother laughed and then surely enough, that car slid off the road and flew into a ditch.
The point isn't what happened and wether you could prove that these were just coincidences. Here's one more example:
I wasn't doing too well in math this year and promised I'd work harder. 1st trimester: crap grades. 2nd trimester: crap grades. 3rd trimester: Excellent grades. I didn't change my study habbits. I didn't pay more attention in class. I just decided mentally that I would achieve. I was completly sure of my self and I succeeded.
Ever since the lightning story, I've questioned our ability to have power. We were told that we were only human and there was a God up above infinitly more powerful than us. But what if we had that power? What if we could use that power? And so... I acknowledged the existance of forces that could not be seen. I understood that there are forces at work in this world that no one ever spoke of. I called these forces God in my head for the simple reason that it's much easier to stick to that than to change the word. I believe in forces of nature of terrible power. For good or for evil. And I call upon them from time to time and notice that it was only in instances that I had utter faith did these "forces" show themselves.
Right before my school, there is a monster bump that the bus driver hits full speed. Upfront you can't feel it but in the back it is horrendous. And for 3 years and a half, every morning we would nail that bump and receive monster damage to our rears. But one day... My rear was sore (No... stop thinking that way you perverts) and I closed my eyes while everyone around was screaming bump. I closed my eyes oh so hard and prayed oh so much to the forces of this world for this one time... to spare us. And we were spared.
Awhile back, there was this chick that was untouchable. I mean, the kind of chick you would only meet a few times in your life. Smoking hot, brilliant mentally. Incredible personality... Truly, she was on a well deserved pedestal. So I asked how I was going to go about meeting her. I pondered and pondered and realised it wasn't worth it. And it hit me... What if I could be that great with a little help from the forces of this world? And so I called them forth and once again, I walked over there. I felt like I had an army behind me. I felt unstoppable. And I went up to greet her.
These "forces" arn't what drive me. They arn't what I "call upon" each time I need help. I have tried many times but they never came. Only when I was truly a believer did they come.
I possibly have incredible power. I wasn't going to pass this up. I delved into it. There were a number of logical reasons for all this. Confidence in myself, coincidences and whatnot. Whatever it was. It worked.
I've gotten into serious serious trouble in the past year. I took risks that would make some piss their pants. In the end, I always got off the hook. I believed in myself, I believed in my abilities. My abilities to lie... to manipulate. Cause deep down that's what I do best. I use people against themselves.
I've had unbelievable luck taking unbelievable chances. But I believed in these risks and I never doubted my success. And I always succeeded. I played paintball and won a 1v9. I believed in myself.
There are so many things that go on in the world.... So many paths to choose. So much advice to hear and people to see... What if to have all the we ever wanted, all we ever had to do was believe?
