Does anyone else ever convince themselves of something - say, sickness, and then it turns out that you actually don't feel well? For instance, I didn't want to go to work today. I told myself last night I may call in sick. Guess what? I had a blistering headache all night.

So, what made me go ah-ha is that if we can convince ourselves of something, why do we struggle with getting our desires back? We just have to convince ourselves that we already have it.

I don't know if that makes any sort of sense now that I've put it in writing, but it makes sense in my head
