"The Secret" worked for me today!

I woke up a little bit later than usual this morning, and as a result also left for a work a little bit later than usual - however, since I take BART to go to the city, one of the problems I've run into is not getting a parking spot (this has happened to me before), at the station usually go to, which means either parking somewhat illegally at the station, or having to drive to another station and being even later for work....

To those outside the San Francisco Bay area, I will explain a few of the terms I used above:
1. BART is essentially a "commuter train" - but unfortunately not as fancy as Caltrain
2. "The City" is the common name around here for San Francisco

Well, this morning, as I was driving, following the advice of the Secret (which I guess is no longer a secret to those that care or watch Oprah or both), I told myself (over and over) "The parking lot is probably almost full right now, but don't worry, there's going to be a spot for you"...

[I know very little about the Secret - I've heard mentioned that it has to do with the law of attraction - if you think something... it will happen... I've also talked to some people who think it's a scam to make the creator rich... I'm open minded, but I can understand that kind of point of view too.]

Well, the parking lot was full, but there's a couple of side streets that I know you park at all day and not get a ticket, and guess what.... I start driving down one of those streets, and there's cars lined up on both sides, and I'm thinking "this secret stuff didn't work for me this time, crap"... and then halfway down the street, lo and behold was *my* parking spot *waiting* for *me*. All I thought was "wow, maybe the secret does work after all" (only once in a while?)

I haven't used the Secret too many times now (only once or twice in weeks maybe), but maybe positive feedback loops might encourage me to use it more....

Which now brings me to thought that just came through my mind - I saw a little bit of the 20/20 segment on ABC which was on luck, and one of the segments was on a guy named Scott - the guy who prides himself for wearing a nametag all of the time. After doing a little bit of research, I found his website to be mynameisscott.com - one of the thing he wrote that I read about is how he even started wearing a nametag - he said he had been to some function that required him to have a nametag, and he left that function with his nametag on, and he struck up a bunch of conversations with total strangers (about his nametag?) - well it sounds like he did some interesting math and thought that if wearing the nametag (making him approachable, a conversation starter, etc.) would lead to x number of conversations in one day, it could lead to x or more conversations each day he wore the nametag - another feedback loop.

Thinking about these things really makes me want to become more aware of more of feedback loops that we all experience, and their powers.
