A few days ago while I was talking to one of my friends he said that he hate number 13 like anything as on a day 13 he went for an interview and that he could not attend it and further his mother has also passed away on the same date. The poor fellow whenever he get a new year calendar the first thing he used to do was just tear off all number13 dates from the calendar whenever he sees it.
I told him that dear friend it is not you but the number 13 is who afraid of you as it do not know when you are going to tear it off.
It is our mind which plays the trick when something is recorded in our mind it takes us to make it happen.
My research shows that many people who read daily forecast record it in their subconscious mind for example if the daily forecast for the day is ‘Delay’ they record this in their subconscious mind and for them that day everything happens in such a way that delay occurs in every corner of their life they go to office delayed, they take lunch delayed and so on…
