No, I'm just taking a break!. The answers don't just walk into me, that wouldn't have the same feeling as finding them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Sometimes, and here's why:

When you're looking for something, you are so worried about finding it and stressing that you wont and what the consequences are if you don't, that you can't think clearly!.

The worry about finding what you're searching for acts like 'snow' on your tv screen!. Clear the 'snow' away and you can see a clear picture!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's common for people to think that, but really it isn't that you're not looking, you're just not consciously doing it!.
For example, those looking for love often say when they "gave up" they found the person of their dreams!. They didn't actually give up on finding someone, they just found something else to occupy their time, or they didn't think about it as much!. Even though they weren't thinking about it, they were looking for it!.
Make sense!? LOL, I probably didn't explain it the best!.!.!.

Does the miraculous or the magical actually happen in this life or is it better and perhaps wiser to seek that which one may prefer while realizing that the same is only a preference and not a desire so should it not occur as one might prefer, one is not upset by the outcome!.

Waiting for a miracle or for "magic" may well lead one to waiting for a lifetime for that which does not happen!.

Being willing to seek ones own answers from within ones self so as to gain enlightenment and true understanding would always seem best!.

Be well and, please, be well!.

Strange thing but it is very true!. There are times when if you are looking for something, you cannot able to look for it and when you are tired and give up!. And later, the thing you are looking will just pop out!. It is sometimes strange!. However, others will do tell you that when looking up for things, one should use their eyes and not their mouth!. The more you talk, the more you are out of sight because you are out of focus and certainly you are out of sight!.

So the best thing to do is be organized so as your things are placed in the right place!. Not the habit of searching and there you will find!. It is a matter of discipline and making it as a habit!.

Thanks for asking!. Have a great day!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Always!. When you stop looking it looks for you, and when it finds you , it comes and sits quietly on your shoulder, until you notice it's there!. It's like a butterfly!. You never see them when you are looking for them!. It's also like happiness!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes!. When I try to figure out an answer to one of life's questions, I often second guess myself and end up more confused!. So, I just forget about it!. And then, in a moment of clarity, when I am not thinking about anything in particular, the answer will come to me!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Most times, usually when i lost something it festers till i found it - other times it is in places where i can never retrieve it - like the shopping centre or on a train!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

yes - it's called "Sod's law"
if you drop a slice of toast and jam, the side with the jam will always be face down on the floor - that's Sod's law too
