I have a magic mirror.

On New Year's Eve, I write down all the things I want to happen in the year upcoming and then I stick the list behind my mirror. And guess what? For the past few years, most of those things have happened.

Now, my rational side says that this is because my every time I look in that mirror, my subconscious is reminded of what it is I want and encourages me to work all the harder to get it.

But the other part of my brain knows it is magic.
