I am mildly freaking out.
I am mildly freaking out because I just applied to my dream job.
I am scared to say anything about it for fear of jinxing it. But if you feel so inclined, please cross your fingers for me!
Here are a few details-but-not-details:
- It would require me to relocate. Really relocate.
- I’m okay with that because I would love to live in this new place.
- I am literally perfect for this position. I can put a solid check mark next to each of the bullet points on the job posting… without stretching the truth or engaging in “creative” resume-writing.
Eeep! I’m nervous, but I’m trying not to let my hopes get too high. It’s probably a long shot.
Abbie,
If you really want to get the job, imagine that you will not get it. Imagine exactly how you will be rejected, considering all the details, and anticipate how dejected you will feel.
The things I imagine happening never actually happen. Almost every day for the past four years I imagined stumbling on the staircase and breaking my leg, and it didn’t happen. I bet it never will so long as I imagine it happening.
In conclusion, if you want something not to happen in the near future, imagine it happening, and it won’t happen!
It always works for me.
Strangely enough, I know exactly what you mean. And it’s true! I should put this strategy to use ASAP. Thank you, haha!
Good Luck!
Thank you so much!
What Vincent said is funny and quite true! So should I be wishing you bad luck??? Anywho, life will take you where you are supposed to be
This logic is the exact opposite of what is told in, The Secret, as well as all traditional positive thinking methods. Not sure if I would follow the advice! Besides, what are the odds of falling down the staircase and breaking your leg? Try this, think about NOT winning the lottery…I almost guarantee you will NOT win!
And by the way, good luck…or as they say in show business…break a leg!
Haha, trail-hike-life… every method has its limits
but I’m no dummy — I think we all know that what I think or don’t think has very little impact on what happens here 
And thanks!
Good luck!! I really hope you get it!
Thank you, Emily!
*crossing fingers for you*
Thanks, Ceri, and everyone! Sad news, though – they emailed me this morning and said my application hadn’t been successful. Ah, well
