Superpowers

    Do you ever feel like maybe you have superpowers? Some people are inherently good at things like keeping plants alive, getting people to come out of their shells, or guessing who committed the murder at the beginning of the movie, and other various superpowers of the common man. One of my superpowers I've noticed recently is that if I think of a line or scene from a show the episode with that scene will air shortly afterwards. Even when I can't quite remember what T.V. show the line is from it shows up relatively soon after I spend time trying to remember where the line in my head came from. It's fun to have a superpower even if it isn't particularly useful to anyone else but me...and not even that useful for me.
    I actually think that thoughts are fairly powerful force. I think talking about things and talking about them a lot can make things more likely to happen. It seems as if thoughts and words act as a force of attraction to events. I have no proof obviously, but the fact that generations of people feel the need to knock on wood in order to counteract words suggests that this feeling of superstition is fairly common. It  makes me feel better to think that I'm not the only one unnerved by the feeling that words and thoughts can attract events, even though that seems impossible. I think acknowledging our superstitions can be helpful because then they have less control if you say "hey, I know this is irrational but I feel this way." That way you can acknowledge it quickly and then move on. Even if thoughts and words don't inherently have power to attract specific events they do direct our actions so  even those of us not plagued by superpowers or superstitions should  be mindful of how we use them.
