Keymoo, interesting comments. If the "car park" exercise involves ‘magically’ manifesting a parking space by some manner of voodoo, there is a rational explanation for the improved probability of you finding a space. It’s all to do with your old brain and the reticular formation, that which arouses and motivates us. The thing is, the parking space is either going to be there or it’s not (no schroedingers cats here). But if you are ACTIVELY engaged in looking for one, guess what, you’re more likely to find it than if your just cranking up the volume on Snow Patrol or thinking about what you’re going to do once you’ve parked. It’s all about ACTIVE AWARENESS. You can do it with anything you choose.
Just pick a colour, any colour. Make it unusual. When you’re next out and about look for someone wearing that colour, or a car of that colour, anything of that colour. I can guarantee you WILL find it. It’s all always there, but you’re not normally ACTIVELY tuned into be aware of it. There is a great deal to discuss about Awareness.
The other point you make keymoo is about ACTION. I disagree slightly with you in that all the preparation and analysis and all those other good things you mention, although useful and even vital to your skills as a trader do not in and of themselves lead you to becoming a trader. You need to take ACTION independently of all those other things, you need to pull the trigger. It is just possible that all those other things you mention could end up robbing you of the power to actually take physical action if you believe you are doing so by doing those other things.
I keep an open mind on the power of thought and the ‘laws’ of attraction so don’t put me into one camp or the other.
